Onkoshi Resort is an exclusive, low-impact, environmentally friendly semi-permanent lodge built on elevated wooden decks on the eastern edge of the Etosha Pan, close to Fischer's Pan. With only 15 private chalets and a maximum of 30 guests at any one time, Onkoshi offers a more peaceful and tranquil stay than any other camp inside Etosha.
The site sits on a secluded peninsula entirely out of view of normal tourist routes, offering a full westward view across the immense shimmering saline pan — a truly pristine, unique experience. Dramatic sunsets, clear night skies, and the sights, smells and sounds of untamed Africa make Onkoshi one of NWR's finest properties.
Spacious chalets built on elevated wooden decks with breathtaking views directly over the Etosha Pan. Insulated canvas walls keep the heat out while large retractable doors open onto a spectacular panoramic view. All furnishings are locally crafted — a combination of metal, wood, and natural fabrics creating a natural, ethnic ambiance.
The honeymoon chalet is Onkoshi's most special unit, featuring a king-size bed in place of the two ¾ beds found in the standard chalets. Equally elevated, with the same sweeping pan views and the same quality of locally crafted furnishings and natural fabrics. Note: children are not accommodated in this chalet.
Onkoshi is unlike any other camp in Etosha — or indeed in Africa. The proximity to the vast Etosha Pan with its shimmering mirages, dramatic sunsets, and the sense of total isolation is the primary draw. On a clear night, the Milky Way stretches from horizon to horizon without a single light in any direction.
Children under 6 years of age are not permitted at Onkoshi. Children over 6 can be accommodated on a sleeper couch when sharing with parents — but this is not available in the honeymoon chalet.
With only 15 chalets, Onkoshi sells out quickly, particularly during the peak dry season from June to October. Book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
