Okonjima Lodge

(Windhoek and Central Region - Namibia)

General Description
Okonjima Camp and Lodge lies in the beautiful Omboroko Mountains, part of the Waterberg Plateau. Originally the Hanssen-family farmhouse, this stunning property was reconstructed as a lodge in 1992.

The main attractions at Okonjima are the resident leopard, cheetah and lion. The lodge is home to the ‘AfriCat Foundation’, which is dedicated to preserving the big cats of Namibia. At Okonjima special emphasis is placed on cheetah, leopard and lion. In addition to the big cats there are over 300 indigenous species of birds.

There are a number of places to stay at Okonojima including; the main farmhouse, a luxury bush camp situated on the edge of a wilderness area, the Omboroko exclusive campsite, and finally a bush suite, and a villa. All accommodation is to a high standard.

Approx 2 hour drive from Windhoek.

Accommodation
The main camp is home to ten comfortable, en-suite double rooms, and three luxury en-suite twin tents. The bush camp, located 3km from the main lodge, offers eight thatched African chalets, while Omboroko is a very exclusive camp site.

The private bush suite is home to a large swimming pool, private kitchen and two en-suite bedrooms, each with 2 queen-size beds, safe, air-conditioning (with heating) and bath and shower.

In addition there is a larger bush villa, which can accommodate up to 8 adults in its 4 en-suite double rooms, all with king-size beds (which can be rolled out onto the terrace with ease if you wish to sleep out under the stars). All of the rooms have additional 3/4 beds to accommodate additional guests or children. A private kitchen, swimming pool, as well as host, guide and vehicle, complete the picture.

Okonjima is booked on a full-board basis. Special dietary requirements can be catered for but prior notice is necessary.
