Namibia can offer a truly memorable and interactive experience in the wilderness for families travelling with children by offering children’s accommodation, specially designed game drives for children, activities and meals. Onguma Nature Reserve welcomes children to explore and experience the uniqueness of the untamed African bush with its many wild animals both the big and small!
Traveling with your family is special and you as parents are giving your children memories they will cherish forever. However it does come with its own set of obstacles.

3. Entertainment – At Onguma Bush Camp We can sometimes offer families their own exclusive game drives, in addition to the regular program, not to mention our latest Young Explorer programme which is specifically designed for kids of all ages.

A family safari is one of the best gifts you can give children as they are inspired to explore the African bush and enjoy learning in a fun and interactive way! It is with this in mind that we have launched our Young Explorer’s Walk at Onguma Bush Camp.
Aimed at our younger visitors, they follow a bush path that takes them on an adventure through various clearings where they get up close and personal with termite mounds, various animal skulls and horns, test their balancing and shooting skills with ‘Katties’ (local name for handheld slingshots), track spoor, shoot with bows & arrows and learn about the old hunting and gathering ways that our African forefathers used before culminating with a craft session where they can take home something they have made from their own experience.
