Okonjima Main Camp
Okonjima is half an hour’s drive off the main B1 road between Windhoek and Etosha. As a drive it’s approximately two and a half hours from Windhoek and three and a half hours from Etosha. It is also accessible by plane, with its own airstrip. The property totals 22,000 hectares with rocky outcrops, scrubby acacia bush and open grass-land.
Accommodation & Facilities
Okonjima Main Camp’s accommodation is in two wings, one of six Garden View rooms located near to the lodge, and the other of ten Mountain View rooms set a little further away. Each Garden View room has a double bed, an en suite bathroom, and opens onto the garden courtyard. The Mountain View Rooms are spaced well apart and have views out across the bush-veldt to the mountains. These spacious new rooms have double beds, excellent modern facilities, and en-suite bathrooms and are wheel-chair friendly. The main lodge area is under thatch and combines the dining room, lounge and bar. An open camp fire brings warmth to the evenings and there is a pool for warm days.
Wildlife & Activities
Cheetah are the main draw here as Okonjima is the home of the charitable Africat Foundation, whose mission is the rescue and relocation of unwanted or injured cheetah as well as training hand reared cheetah to hunt. They also support leopard research on a number of second and third generation leopards who have always lived on the property, and who are radio-collared. For those staying just one night, the lodge tries to arrange an evening drive to track a collared leopard using telemetry and an insight into the cheetah rehabilitation programme the following morning. Those staying longer can also track cheetah on foot and see Bushman paintings on an interpretive walk.
