After a couple of hours drive one reaches Onguma Camp. The way to the camp goes via a privat concession right next to Ethosha National Park. It may be  pretty nice as the concession is rich in game. 10mins later one arrives at the Lodge. Its very  luxuerious and convinient. Food is excellent, location great and next to a pond in the concession  where at night porcupines and shakales are gathering. The way into the park is 10mins out of the concession and then one is already in. The first 15mins  into the park is via a tared road right towards one of the 3 headquarters for registering. The first  step into the park might appear boaring as the bushland next to the road is thick and one cant see  through. However next to the road there is usually some game feeding on the small grass patches  next to the road. Moreover we were lucky as a black rhino crossed the road right in front of us - we  were very fortunate.  Moses our guide was pretty short lipped we figured. For that kind of a price we had to pay we  thought a bit of a motivated guide would have been nice. We found out from him that he had to do  all shifts (morning, noon, afternoon and night-drive) for the camp. Moses told us that the camp  didnt want to hire an extra guide/ get one from the neighbouring camp which is run by the same  company. I can understand that this might be very exhausting for him. Asking the manager after  this he sad, that this has been only for a short while as one guide was off sick. Didnt help us there  at all. Moses was in terms of spotting still very clever and smart - we saw a lot- thanks to him!
