Come and enjoy one of the best luxury campsites in Namibia at Ongongo Waterfall Campsite, Warmquelle, with bushlodge activities and animal sightings.

The Ongongo Waterfall Campsite (previously known as Warmquelle Community Campsite / Ongongo Campsite) has been completely revamped.

There are currently 9 campsites each with private shower/toilet ablution, shade, lights and hot water. With the permanent waterfall, Himbas and elephants close by – this should be a minimum two nights stay.

Ongongo means “magical” in the Herero language. It is indeed a genuinely magical, if not spectacular, place. Set in a small canyon in the far northwest of Namibia, an utterly barren landscape with some villages close by—you will find permanent water simply oozing out of the mountain. The water is relatively warm, which allows for swimming year-round.

This community driven Campsite is situated 6 km from Warmquelle. Warmquelle is about 90 km north of Palmwag on the C43. The nearest fuel station is at Sesfontein—Alternatively Palmwag.

Access is by 2×4 vehicles (ONLY bakkies/SUVs), but with caution as the road is rocky and takes some time to navigate through. It is NOT possible with a sedan vehicle. 2 x 4 drivers are not advised to take their vehicles into the gorge, which is 4×4 access only. Vehicles can be left in a parking area at the top and equipment carried down. We highly recommend traveling with 4×4 vehicles!

Hot Showers
After a long day in the sun there’s nothing better than a hot shower to wash away the day.
