Okonjima Plains Camp

Overview of Okonjima Plains Camp

Namibia, Windhoek

Set in a remote wilderness area in the Otjiwarongo region of northern Namibia and close to the superb Waterberg Plateau Park, Okonjima Plains Camp was once an old family farmhouse. Now fully converted, the thatched lodge and its rooms are scattered around rolling lawns but what Okonjima is most famous for is its big cat rehabilitation centre – The Africat Foundation. This education and research facility is dedicated to the rehabilitation of Namibia’s big cats, particularly cheetah and leopard.

Observing and learning about the conservation work done at Okonjima is an obvious highlight here but with a bird list of over 300 species, birdwatching is also a popular activity. If you want to stretch your legs, take an early morning self-guided mountain walk; the sunrises are spectacular and the San Bushman local history fascinating.

    It is a very interesting and worthwhile place to visit – thank you for persuading us to spend two nights there – I think x2 nights is about right and it was the perfect place to end our trip and in easy reach of Windhoek and the airport.

    Anderssons and Okonjima were both very good – we were very lucky to see both the leopards and the cheetahs (accommodation and food first class there)

    The accomadations were very good. We really enjoyed Okonjima Main camp. We got there in time to do an afternoon game ride and also a nice morning ride. Very interesting conservation of the animals there and very nice place to stay and eat.

    Okonjima Main Camp : nice for seeing big cats. Food and reception poor and not really good : (to recommend for one night shift)

    My favourite part of the trip was Okonjima. I loved it there. The meals were great, the lodge is very trendy and has nice decor and the room was so great. I can’t believe the view looking out that massive window. I even had my own resident Oryx sleeping outside.

    Great accommodations. Africats is a great introduction to another challenge faced in Africa, the balance of farming.

    One of the best places! The location, the lodge, the animals, the service we received, the fun we had and, most remarkable: the dinners! The quality and the presentation of the food was definitely of the kind which deserves Michelin-stars! We were extremely impressed!
