According to recent research, solo travel is a growing trend globally and Onguma is certainly seeing an increasing demand from independent single travellers. AITO figures show 27% of Brits enjoyed solo trips last year – with 1 in 5 considering holidaying alone this year. However, almost 1 in 4 are deterred by single supplements.
With this in mind, Onguma, on the eastern fringe of Namibia’s iconic Etosha National Park, is delighted to launch its new special So-Low Safari package, waiving the single supplement during Namibia’s low season (1 Dec to 30 June 2025*), to make Onguma more attractive, accessible and affordable for intrepid, independent travellers with a spirit of adventure.
Reasons to Book an Onguma Solo Safari
- In addition to saving money on the single supplement at Onguma, low season is a great time to travel to Namibia to avoid crowds (Etosha can get busy) but also for fabulous weather and great safari sightings as wildlife tends to gather around waterholes from March to June, making for those iconic pan photos the Etosha region is renowned for.
- Namibia is an incredibly safe and rewarding country to visit as a solo traveller – ideal for those wanting to explore a little off the beaten track, who seek both solitude and/or friendly local people known for their warm hospitality who will embrace visitors if and when they want to immerse in the local culture.
- The roads across Namibia are in great condition and safe for self-drive. It is an easy 5.5-hour drive from Windhoek to Onguma without a 4×4, or you can opt to fly in.
- Solo Travellers can choose to dine alone, in-suite or join the camaraderie of communal dining in the boma and dining areas etc at all the Onguma camps.
- Camp Kala’s suites offer a choice of private hot tub or plunge pool while Tented Camp’s suites have been recently revamped with new hot tubs on their decks, should you prefer extra privacy.
- The Onguma Dream Cruiser Adventure Sleep Out is an incredible solo experience!
- English, Afrikaans and German are widely spoken and understood
