Okonjima Plains Camp was built on the site of the owner's original farmhouse. After a dramatic face lift the 'Barn' doors, the nickname for the main area of the camp, were officially opened. It offers comfortable and stylish accommodation for guests visiting the AfriCat Foundation project. With 30 rooms, it's a larger camp than we would usually recommend, but if you are interested in big cats and seeing how the world's most successful research and rehabilitation project works in practice, a 2 night stay here is a must.

There are 30 rooms in total; fourteen Standard Rooms, ten Mountain View Rooms, the latter being brand new and the larger of the two options, they are also set further apart from each other than the Standard Room so offer more privacy. Decorated with rustic touches, both room types have en-suite showers, ceiling fans and tea/coffee facilities. There are also six Garden Rooms, these are reserved for use during conferences and research presentations.
Waking up to the sight of passing oryx, zebra and other plains game before even getting out of bed.
For added privacy and views across the Omboroko Mountains and Waterberg Plateau, choose one of the mountain rooms. The sunsets are incredible!
Cheetah and leopard in the AfriCat rescue programme are collared, so tracking experiences may feel less authentic - but seeing a project like this in action is priceless.
