Wildlife Encounters

Out in the wilderness of the reserve, the possibilities are endless. Imagine being greeted by a parade of elephants at a waterhole or being captivated by the excitement of finding lion cubs playing with each other. At Ongava, every wildlife encounter is a vivid reminder of nature’s astonishing diversity.

Restoring the Rhino Kingdom Since its inception in 1993, the Black Rhino Custodianship Programme has positioned Namibia as a global leader in black rhino conservation. The custodians – dedicated individuals who care for these majestic creatures – are the unsung heroes behind this remarkable success story. Their unwavering commitment and resilience not only provide hope for the future of black rhinos but also play a crucial role in safeguarding our planet’s rich biodiversity. This programme is a powerful reminder that, even in the face of daunting challenges, we have the capacity to make a lasting, positive impact on the world around us.
