Okonjima Nature Reserve


Okonjima Bush Suite Location Map

With its undulating plains, mountainous outcrops, and riverine thickets, the Okonjima Nature Reserve is home to the AfriCat Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and welfare of Namibia's wild predators.

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 Bush Suite is situated within the secluded wilderness area of the Okonjima valley, with a backdrop of the Omboroko Mountains. Right on the edge of a nearby waterhole, the Bush Suite features only 2 separate private en-suite bedrooms under a magnificent thatched roof, which together can accommodate a family or small group of just 4 people. Each bedroom has 2 large queensize beds, a bathtub plus indoor and outdoor showers.

A wood-burning fireplace brings together the spacious lounge and dining areas, and in addition, there are outdoor dining options that guests can enjoy. Two large glass-panelled windows offer 180-degree views of the surrounding vistas. In addition, the uniquely designed mokoro-shaped pool is the perfect place to cool off in the heat of the day.
