Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp

Okonjima is much more than a luxury lodge. It is also the home of the AfriCat Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and welfare of Namibia's wild predators, especially cheetahs and leopards.

Since being founded in 1991, AfriCat’s mission has been to make significant contributions to conservation, while trying to ensure the survival of Namibia’s predators in their natural habitat. It undertakes research, community support and environmental education projects, as well as conservation work to rehabilitate carnivores such as cheetah and hyena.

A highlight for anyone visiting Okonjima is to learn about their big-cat passion. Leopards roam freely and hunt within the 22,000 hectare reserve, and an opportunity to see them on game drives led by experienced guides is why guests travel continents to stay here. You may also spot other rare and endangered species such as rhino and pangolin. Guests can also get involved in collecting and collating data, and assisting with actual research being conducted by AfriCat.

The Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp is situated at the edge of a wilderness area. Each of the 8 unique thatched, African-style chalets enjoys complete privacy, and is an attractive combination of earthy, ochre walls and khaki-green canvas, under a thatched roof. Each chalet has large glass panels and canvas windows that can be completely opened for unrestricted views of the savannah and in front of each chalet, a birdbath is visited by a variety of birds and small mammals.

There is also a Junior Suite with a private lounge area and fireplace to keep you warm during the winter nights. The outdoor shower is ideal for the summer time.

In between activities, guests staying here can relax around the secluded swimming pool.
