Okonjima Grand African Villa

PLAN MY TRIP

Hidden in a secluded wilderness area just six miles from the main camp, Okonjima Grand African Villa offers guests an exclusive safari destination.

Accommodations consist of two luxury rooms in the main house and two separate luxury suites for up to eight adults and four children. The main house rooms include a spacious bedroom and a separate lounge and dining area with a wood-burning fireplace. The en suite bathroom features an inside shower and a spectacular, outside bush-shower, together with a beautiful bath-with-a-view. Outside there is an open sala for a relaxing afternoon as well as an infinity pool surrounded by red-teak decking. The private, thatched suites have the same amenities and are structured from canvas-screened walls to allow guests to experience the ambience of the African wild in safety and comfort.

The villa is 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 villa. The suite overlooks a natural waterhole and opens to stunning views of the Omboroko Mountains. With a personal host or hostess and chef attending to every need, the amenities here are exceptional. A spacious lounge, large dining area, wood-burning fireplace, chef-designed kitchen, gorgeous infinity pool, African red teak deck, and shaded sala all contribute to the exclusive, luxury atmosphere.
