Onguma Private Game Reserve covers about 35,970 hectares along the eastern boundary of Etosha National Park in northern Namibia. The reserve contains open savanna, bushveld, dry riverbeds, seasonal pans, ancient leadwood trees, and waterholes that attract wildlife.

Medan is the capital of north Sumatra and the third largest city in Indonesia. It is a huge, sprawling city and a popular entry/exit point for travellers.
