With just eight chalets, guests at Okonjima Bush Camp are assured of a personalised experience. The decor and design, clay and thatch open-fronted chalets and main areas, is atmospheric and warm with an abundance of rich African colours, textures and artwork. Days will be spent exploring the Okonjima reserve either in 4x4 vehicles or on foot. We would recommend a 2 night stay here to ensure you are able to tick off all the educational and excellent activities on offer. Children over the age of 12 years are welcome.
From $730 person/night
Sleep with your canvas curtains rolled up and enjoy 180° views of wildlife wandering down the lake - and warthogs snuffling right out front.
While the Okonjima Nature Reserve is famous for its AfriCat Foundation, spend some time tracking endangered pangolin and spotting black and white rhino too.
Only children over 12 are accommodated at Okonjima, and we also suggest spending at least two nights to make the most of the varied activities.
The main area is a large curved building, which overlooks a manicured lawn, small lake and the rolling plains in the distance. There is a curio shop, a restaurant with large wooden dining tables, indoor and outdoor fireplaces. There is also a small pool with sun loungers and much-needed shade from the midday sun.
There are eight double chalets and one honeymoon chalet at Okonjima Bush Camp. Each of the stone and thatched roof chalets has a wide canvas wall which can be rolled up to reveal a 180 degree panoramic views of the surrounding bush. There are ensuite showers, ceiling fans and AC, a lounge area, mini bar/ fridge and in-room telephones. They are decorated in rich African colours and natural materials have been used throughout.
Show all activities
Most guests visit Okonjima to learn about the highly successful AfriCat foundation, a not-for-profit organisation set up to support long-term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores, now the largest leopard and cheetah rescue and relocation programme in the world. Activities include tracking cheetah, leopard and hyenas - whilst seeing other wildlife on the reserve, Bushman trails, self-guided walking trails, night hide, birding and visits to the care and research centre.
Service excellent, lodging really comfortable, food amazing! The only drawback is that we couldn't stay longer! The staff here were very knowledgeable, and the lodge had a very warm, family feeling.
awesome location and quality. leopard sightings a must
