Okonjima Bush Camp

Otjiwarongo

Popular |

8 Rooms

From $670 per person/night

Intimate, relaxing and traditional African-styled camp of the Okonjima Collection

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.

Okonjima Plains Camp

Otjiwarongo

Popular |

30 Rooms

From $290 per person/night

The largest and most affordable of Okonjima's accommodation options.

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.

Okonjima Villa

Otjiwarongo

4 Rooms

From $970 per person/night

Luxury villa offering exclusivity & close encounters with rescued wildlife

Okonjima Reserve serves as a convenient stop-over for families en-route to Etosha National Park as it sits halfway between there and Windhoek, Namibia's capital city. This private 55,000 acre reserve is home to top-quality luxury accommodation and the much reputed AfriCat Foundation. Here, you'll have the opportunity for up-close encounters with some of Africas most iconic felines in a relatively natural environment. For those interested in engaging with the important and difficult work of rehabilitation, this is one of the best places to do so. But besides all that, the Okonjima Villa is a stunning, four-bedroom, top-quality offering that comes complete with your own chef and private safari vehicle.

Okonjima Bush Suite

Otjiwarongo

2 Rooms

From $1.2K per person/night

Private luxury home fuses modern & African decor on this wildlife sanctuary

Okonjima Reserve, home the Okonjima Bush Suite, sits between Namibia's world-famous, Etosha National Park, and the county's capital, Windhoek. This 55,000 acre reserve is probably best known and loved for the AfriCat Foundation, a non-profit organization that does crucial rehabilitation work with endangered African carnivores - most notably, cheetah and leopard. A stay here affords you the unique chance to get up-close to some of Africa's most iconic creatures. But besides the opportunity to take part in AfriCat's research and rehabilitation efforts, this is an exclusive, sumptuous, five-star experience that comes complete with your own private vehicle and guide along with personal chef and host.

Waterberg Guest Farm

Otjiwarongo

4 Rooms

From $220 per person/night

Herero-style cabins and an updated farmhouse beneath the magical Waterberg.

Head north from Namibia's capital, Windhoek, to the Waterberg Plateau, an imposing colossus of rock where you'll find 200-million-year-old tracks of dinosaurs and reminders of the area's first human inhabitants, the San people. At its base, on the family-owned sprawl of Okosongomingo cattle ranch, you'll come across the restful Waterberg Guest Farm. Spend a couple of days here, exploring the plateau, its free-roaming wildlife (cheetah, leopard, jackal, eland, kudu, oryx, little steenbok, klipspringer and dik-dik, and a host of reptiles and birds). Recharge your travel-worn batteries with comfortable accommodation, good food and blood-red sunsets.

Babson Guest House

Otjiwarongo

3 Rooms

From $590 per person/night

Premium access to Namibia's famous Cheetah Conservation Fund reserve

If cheetahs are your passion, head to Babson Guest House, the only lodge for visitors in the world-renowned Cheetah Conservation Fund reserve, in northern Namibia. Here you'll find the largest population of cheetah remaining in the wild, and a conservation/research centre that offers interesting insights into cheetah conservation and rehabilitation. The reserve is a worthy destination in itself, but it's also conveniently located in the Otjiwarongo area between Windhoek (Namibia's capital) and Etosha National Park, and makes for a good stopover between the two. It's also just 13 kilometres from the striking sandstone cliffs of the Waterberg Plateau National Park.

Mundulea Bush Camp

Otjiwarongo

4 Rooms

From $780 per person/night

A rustic camp & exceptionally guided walks immerse you in the Namibian bush.

Mundulea Camp sits in a private reserve near the beautiful Otavi Mountains, a few hours southeast of Namibia's Etosha National Park. This is by no means a destination promising sightings of Africa's iconic, big-name wildlife. Instead, it offers the more subtle beauties of this dynamic country, which are best discovered on foot with one of the region's most well-respected guides. Bruno Nebe (also the camp's owner) conducts guided walking tours to suit guests' liking and level of fitness. This is a down-to-earth experience in every way from the camp's architecture - created to resemble a traditional Ovambo homestead - to the on-foot game viewing and the meals prepared on the fire.

Frans Indongo Lodge

Otjiwarongo

Popular |

15 Rooms

From $120 per person/night

Truly local lodge to explore en-route to Namibia's Etosha or Caprivi Strip.

Frans Indongo Lodge sits on a private reserve close to northern Namibia's Waterberg mountain range. The lodge has impressive, humbling origins, that speak to southern Africa's complicated history. Dr. Frans Indongo, the lodge's owner (now one of Namibia's wealthiest businessman), was born to local farm workers during the apartheid era and grew up tending livestock. Fast-forward a few decades and he's the proud patron of this reserve that offers down-to-earth local hospitality, surprising game viewing (including sable antelope, black springbok, nyala, and black and white rhino) and convenient proximity to several significant wildlife conservation partnerships.

Waterberg Wilderness Lodge

Otjiwarongo

12 Rooms

From $210 per person/night

A very different Namibia, with lush vegetation and mountain vistas

Namibia's landscape is not all dunes and desert. Venture north to the western fringes of the Kalahari Desert, and you'll find something completely different – a dense swathe of green scrubland and, rising above it, the Waterberg Plateau. At the base of this flat-topped mesa (it's 50 kilometres long and 16 wide) is Waterberg Wilderness Lodge, a charmingly renovated old farmstead in the eponymous 35-square-kilometre private reserve. Since 2000, the reserve's owners have dropped the internal fencing and started restoring the indigenous flora and fauna. Expect great views and hikes, endemic flora, giraffe, antelopes galore, and even white rhino.

Otjibamba Lodge

Otjiwarongo

From $50 per person/night

Otjibamba Lodge is a well-known and –loved stop over en route to Etosha National Park, a mere 180km away. Although the property is situated only 4km outside of Otjiwarongo, it is tucked away in the bush and completely isolated and quiet as if you are in the middle of nowhere. You can look forward to seeing wild animals up close at the waterhole or on the lawn next to the tables while dining or lounging by the pool. Their onsite restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes with inside and outside dining as well as an extensive range of South-African wines.

Mount Etjo Safari Lodge

Otjiwarongo

From $320 per person/night

A historic conservation haven with hippos by the pool and 230-million-year-old footprints.

Halfway between Windhoek and Etosha, the Okonjati Game Reserve stretches across a landscape that's been loved back to life by one family's conservation dream. Founded by legendary game capturer Jan Oelofse (the man whose techniques inspired the film Hatari!), this historic refuge is where Namibia's Independence Declaration was signed in 1989. With flamingos wading in the dam, hippos grunting by the waterhole, and dinosaur footprints waiting up on the hillside, there's plenty to discover beyond the game drives. The lodge blends Moroccan-inspired architecture with genuine bush hospitality, whilst the Oelofse family's dedication to conservation – including a rhino orphanage and private school – adds real substance to your stay.
