During your trip to Namibia, in addition to visiting Etosha National Park, why not discover the enchanting environment of this private reserve, rich in animals?

My suggestion:
Go on a private safari to see the animals at close range.
My review

Onguma Reserve is smaller than Etosha National Park, but equally rich in wild animals. The private safaris are essential to get closest to the animals.

In the Onguma Reserve, the guides know the sites perfectly and they took me on the trail of lions. For several hours, we drove without finding the group of young lions in the reserve. We could see gazelles and zebras clearly, but not one flowing mane on the horizon!

Finally, out of sight, behind a large clump of bushes, the show began in front of me; an amazing memory which is still just as vivid in my mind as this face-to-face meeting with these young, free lion cubs.
