Andersson's Camp

Located just 4.5 km from Etosha National Park’s Andersson Gate in Namibia, Andersson’s African safari Camp takes its name from Charles Andersson, the Swedish explorer who first ‘discovered’ the Etosha Pan with Sir Francis Galton in 1851. Set against a backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains, Andersson’s Camp is located within the private Ongava Game Reserve which borders onto Etosha National Park. The Camp overlooks a waterhole where guests can enjoy the interaction of wildlife coming and going throughout the day and night. This former farmstead has been tastefully rebuilt to modern-day standards and the design and construction of Andersson’s Camp was guided primarily by the principles of environmental sustainability – reduce, reuse, recycle. The old farmhouse now forms the main dining, bar and swimming pool area of Andersson’s Camp, with guest tents radiating outwards into the secluded Mopane woodlands typical of the region.

Tents are constructed using a clever mix of calcrete stone cladding, canvas and wood, with double-door entrances and a small veranda that is an extension of the elevated wooden decks on which the tents are raised. The open-air en suite bathrooms continue the unique design.

Andersson’s Camp is situated close to Etosha National Park, Namibia’s premier wildlife destination. Daily excursions provide good game viewing regardless of season in Etosha, while being in the private Ongava Game Reserve allows for exclusive game drives and other experiences.

• Game drives on Ongava Game Reserve

Game drives take place on the 30 000 hectare private Ongava Game Reserve. Night drives are available on request while morning and afternoon/evening game are at extra cost and subject to availability.

• Excursions into Etosha National Park

Full- or half-day guided morning and afternoon game drives in Etosha, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area (with a picnic); see the massive saltpan as well as the perennial springs that provide the water required by the Park’s high-density big game population.

• Guided Nature Walks

A walk with a professional guide through the area takes in the abundant array of life, small and large.

This camp is currently closed for a complete remodel. Stay tuned for new images and camp information as we are excited to see the new launch!
