Okonjima Bush Camp nestles in the unspoiled beauty of the Omboroko Mountains, part of the Waterberg Plateau. In the Herero language, ‘Okonjima’ means ‘place of the baboons’.
This is a family owned lodge, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Each of the eight thatched rondavels has an en suite bathroom (shower and w.c) with twin hand basins, ceiling fan, mini-bar and comfortable lounge area. The rondavels all boast a small waterhole which attracts numerous bird species. For self-drive guests there is also a thatched car port at each unit.
Okonjima is home to the Africat Foundation which is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and protection of Namibia’s threatened cats, primarily cheetah and leopard. Guests will be able to see this programme at work and learn more about these beautiful creatures, in addition to having some excellent photographic opportunities.
For guests wanting to get in touch with nature there are a number of walking trails, including a guided Bushman trail where you can learn about the traditional lifestyle and philosophy of these unique and ancient people. Excellent meals with plenty of fresh herbs are accompanied by homemade breads and served in the thatched dining area. After dinner you may opt for a swim in the pool or visit the hide where honey badgers, porcupines and other nocturnal creatures are sure to entertain you.
