Okonjima is located in the Omboroko Mountains, owned by the Hanssen family and the home of the AfriCat Foundation, which aims to rescue, relocate, and rehabilitate Namibia’s wildlife, particularly leopards. Okonjima owns several farms up in the mountains, split into large enclosures where leopards roam. It’s an excellent programme and a good place to get close to big cats and learn about them. Photographers will appreciate the chance to get some dramatic close-up shots.
There are two lodges on the farm: Okonjima Plains Camp and Okonjima Bush Camp. Okonjima Plains Camp has many comfortable rooms, comprising Standard rooms around the main lawn and View rooms located a short walk from the main area. The View rooms each have a veranda overlooking the Okonjima bush-veldt. Each room has double or twin beds, bright African fabrics, and en suite bathroom. The dining room is under thatch, and excellent meals are served.
Activities from Okonjima include drives to track the leopards and opportunities to learn more about AfriCat's work. Guests can also visit the night hide, which is frequented by porcupines and other nocturnal animals.
