Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Ozondjou Trails Camp stand out from other luxury tented camps in Namibia?

We love Ozondjou's intimate feel, nestled right on the edge of the Ohungu Conservancy. While many luxury camps offer comfort, Ozondjou's direct access to incredible elephant tracking in a less-visited conservancy feels truly special. The tented suites are sumptuously appointed, blending seamlessly with the rugged landscape.

We're considering a trip in the shoulder season. Is Ozondjou Trails Camp still a good option then?

Absolutely. While the dry season from June to October offers peak game viewing, the shoulder months of May and November at Ozondjou are delightful. Expect fewer crowds, pleasant temperatures, and still excellent opportunities for tracking elephants, especially around water sources. The lodge's spa is also a welcome indulgence after a day in the bush.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see on an elephant tracking excursion from Ozondjou?

The star attraction is undoubtedly the desert adapted elephants, and Ozondjou's guides are masters at finding them. Beyond the elephants, we've also spotted Hartmann's mountain zebras, various antelope species like springbok and oryx, and a rich array of birdlife within the Ohungu Conservancy. While predators are present, sightings are less frequent than in more established parks.

How does the luxury experience at Ozondjou Trails Camp translate into the daily activities and service?

The luxury here is understated and deeply connected to the environment. We found the service to be impeccable yet warm, with staff anticipating needs without being intrusive. Expect expertly guided elephant tracking excursions, relaxing afternoons at the spa, and evenings enjoying sensational sunsets followed by gourmet meals under the stars. It feels both exclusive and incredibly authentic.

Given the remote location, what should we pack for a comfortable and practical stay at Ozondjou Trails Camp?

Pack light, breathable layers in neutral colors for daytime activities – think long sleeves and trousers for sun protection. Evenings can cool down, so a warm fleece or jacket is essential. Don't forget sturdy walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen. The lodge provides most amenities, but personal comfort items are always a good idea.
