Namibia
Nestled among the Omboroko Mountains lies Okonjima, a Herero name meaning place of the baboons. West of the Waterberg plateau, the vast plains are occasionally broken by the remnants of ancient sandstone mountains, which once covered large areas of Northern Namibia.
In the main camp, Okonjima features 6 double rooms which all overlook the lush green gardens and a further 10 bush or mountain view rooms. However Okonjima is so much more than just a luxury lodge, it is also home to the Africat Foundation.
Africat is a non-profit organisation, committed to the long term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores, in particular cheetahs and leopards. Both Okonjima and Africat are dedicated to creating conservation awareness, preserving habitat, promoting environmental education, and researching & supporting animal welfare.
