Property details

The property

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.

The rooms

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.

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.

While the Okonjima Nature Reserve is famous for its AfriCat Foundation, spend some time tracking endangered pangolin and spotting black and white rhino too.
