Onguma Safari Camps in Namibia has just launched Onkolo Soundscapes, a brand new activity on the reserve – and the first experience of its kind in Namibia.
Using a network of sensitive microphones discreetly and strategically positioned around Onguma’s water-level Onkolo Hide, the system captures and amplifies the living soundscape of the surrounding bushveld far beyond what the human ear alone can detect. The result is an intimate, sensory-first encounter that changes the way guests experience the African bush entirely.
Imagine it…
The buzz of a dragonfly or butterfly in flight.
The lapping of lions quenching their thirsts.
The tiny footsteps of a bird and distant cry of a fish eagle.
The plop of a frog jumping off its lily pad.
The grunt of a gnu – or even better, a rhino…
It’s a heavenly “safari massage for the ears”…

The experience is particularly well suited to birders, photographers, and guests seeking something more mindful and immersive alongside their standard game drive programme.
