Six black rhino were darted in Etosha National park and shipped to the reserve where they are protected and monitored.

More than 300 bird species can be viewed at Onguma and the reserve boasts the biggest breeding colony of white-backed vultures in Namibia. During the summer months Onguma becomes a bird-watchers paradise with thousands of species migrating to wetlands created by the seasonal rains. Onguma Treetop Camp consists of four luxury tree houses built about two meters on raised platforms.

The main focus of the camp is to experience wildlife in its truest form, it is a small and intimate camp, especially designed for those travelers who would like to truly experience the bush in all its raw splendor. Activities on offer include morning and afternoon game drives into Etosha as well as night drives on the reserve and nature walks. Guests can also self-drive into Etosha National Park.
