Namibia

Okonjima Bush Suite

PLAN MY TRIP

Just two miles from Okonjima Main Camp and hidden in the acacia thorn-veld lies Okonjima Select Private Bush Suite, a special destination in northwestern Namibia.

An exclusive property, accommodations consist of just two private en-suite bedrooms perfect for families or small groups. The thatched cottage is structured from canvas-screened walls to allow guests to experience the ambience of the African wild in safety and comfort. The bedrooms include high ceilings, two queen-sized beds, air-conditioning, and heating. The spacious bathrooms feature both an indoor and an outdoor bush-shower, a colonial bath-with-a-view, toilet, and bidet. Moreover, the suites come with an outdoor terrace for a relaxing afternoon. And one of the queen beds has wheels so it can be rolled outside for a chance to sleep under the stars.

The suites are situated halfway between Windhoek and the Etosha National Park in the private 124 square mile Okonjima Nature Reserve nestled amongst the imposing Omboroko Mountains. Okonjima comes from a Herero word meaning “place of the baboons.” But thanks to the AfriCat Foundation, this area has become home to excellent populations of large cats including cheetah, leopard, lion, and caracal as well as wild dog and hyena. Since 1992, the AfriCat Foundation has grown immensely, saving over 1,000 carnivores. A majority have been rehabilitated and released into the wild, but Okonjima has provided a safe haven for those too injured to be set free. Ensuring the long-term survival of these magnificent creatures through environmental education, ongoing research, and mitigation of human-wildlife conflict, AfriCat continues to be a strong leader in habitat and wildlife conservation.

From leopard-viewing and tracking on foot to game drives in search of cheetah and spotted hyena, guests enjoy the many opportunities to see these animals thriving in their natural habitat. Experiencing a day in the life of a bushman, taking a self-guided nature walk, birdwatching, enjoying evening game drives, and viewing game at the nocturnal hide are just some of the adventures waiting at Okonjima. Some of the wildlife here include leopard, cheetah, caracal, African wild cat, brown and spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, aardwolf, bat-eared fox, aardvark, pangolin, honey-badger, porcupine, kudu, oryx, red hartebeest, gnu, eland, impala, giraffe, Hartmann’s mountain zebra, Burchell’s zebra, steenbok, common duiker, Damara dik-dik, warthog, and chacma baboon.

A massive thatched roof covers this spacious bush-cottage, which overlooks a busy waterhole and opens to stunning views of the sandstone Omboroko Mountains. With a personal host or hostess and chef attending to every need, the suite’s amenities are exceptional. A large lounge, inside dining area, shaded outdoor dining area, wood-burning fireplace, pool, and kitchenette all contribute to the exclusive, luxury atmosphere.
