Kate visited Ongava Tented Camp in November: "We liked this camp as it was right in the bush overlooking an active waterhole: lions had been at the waterhole on the previous evening, and it had a warm authentic feel to it. There are ten tents including a family tent with two rooms and two bathrooms. There’s a honeymoon tent which is exactly the same in size but with a double bed and wooden rather than rattan furniture (slightly smarter). The only disadvantage is that the pool deck and sitting area was small. Also note that it is 20km from the gate and it would take approx 45mins to get there for self-drive clients (as opposed to 20 mins for Main Lodge or Little Ongava). So we recommend this camp in winter when the need for a large pool is not important."
