Two spacious rooms on either side of a stunning main area offers great space. The bathrooms are huge, with a bathtub, inside and outside showers and a separate toilet and bidet.”
Beautiful lodge, fabulous game drives
“We stayed at Okanjima on our Namibia tour, sadly for only one night. What a wonderful place! We were upgraded to the Bush Suite, a short drive away from the main building and it literally took our breath away! We went on two game drives with Denny who was extremely knowledgeable, the highlight being seeing a leopard and white rhino at extremely close quarters. The staff were lovely and friendly and the food was good. Thank you everyone at Okanjima for such a brilliant start to our tour.”

The Okonjima Experience
Spanning 220km² of undulating acacia , mountainous outcrops, and riverine thickets, the Okonjima Nature Reserve serves as a thriving habitat for leopard (Panthera pardus), known for their remarkable adaptability among wild cats.
AfriCat takes pride in maintaining one of Namibia’s longest-running leopard monitoring projects.
Discover more about our Leopard Research initiatives.
These intelligent, solitary predators thrive in high concentrations across the diverse terrain of the Okonjima Nature Reserve. Over the course of three decades, the reserve’s predator research programme has yielded profound insights into leopard behavioural patterns, offering an optimistic outlook for their sustainable future in modern Africa.
A minimum two-day stay at Okonjima, provides the prime opportunity to witness wild leopards in their natural habitats, including those collared for research purposes.
Researched leopard are actively tracked, and their collars prove invaluable in locating and safely returning cats that have ventured into surrounding farmland, where they might be perceived as a threat to livestock.
Situated within the rugged commercial farmlands of central Namibia, the expansive Okonjima Nature Reserve stands as a protected expanse that embodies a diverse ecosystem, encompassing both large and small mammals native to Namibia. Additionally, a significant proportion of the country’s endemic bird species finds refuge within these borders.
Visitors can partake in game drives and guided bush walks, offering an intimate and up-close encounter with Namibia’s wildlife, particularly its most guarded species.
Within the Okonjima Nature Reserve, extensive research initiatives are conducted concerning rare and endangered species, both large and small.
