Okonjima Bush Camp

interaction with habituated cheetahs

Okonjima Bush Camp is located in the Otjiwarongo area of northcentral Namibia.

This is a comfortable permanent lodge, with pleasant open-sided lounge and restaurant-style dining at separate tables, leading out to a nice campfire area. To one side there is a decent swimming pool area.

Animals in camp

We particularly enjoy the fact that a number of different animals visit the lodge, most notably an extremely habituated family of warthogs and some young jackals, as well as a host of birds.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Okonjima Bush Camp is in nine suites, which take the form of circular thatched huts with canvas walls, which can be rolled up to leave the bedroom completely open.

Activities

Okonjima Bush Camp provides access to the following activities, not all of which are usually included in the room rate …

• Habituated cheetahs
• Habituated leopards
• Habituated spotted hyenas
• Conservation project visits
• Hiking trails
• Bushman interaction
• Vehicle safari
• Night vehicle safari

The Otjiwarongo area lies on the main overland route between the two most visited locations in Namibia, Windhoek and Etosha. Since this is quite a long drive, it often makes sense to break the journey, meaning that the lodges in this area frequently feature in trips.

The usual stay duration is 1-2 nights.

Seasonality

Although the activities in the Otjiwarongo area are relatively unseasonal, they are perhaps more enjoyable during the May-Nov dry season.

Getting there

Access to the Otjiwarongo area is most commonly by self-drive vehicle, usually when travelling between Windhoek and Etosha.
