Okonjima's Bush Suite offers sublime luxury, complete privacy and a fascinating wildlife experience. Secluded in the wilderness area of the Okonjima Valley with personal host, chef, and a guide with exclusive use of a game viewing vehicle.
Okonjima Lodge started with a conversion of the Hannsen family's farmhouse into what is now the Plains Camp. Then followed the up-scale Luxury Bush Camp, which offered more luxury and more intimacy. The Villa arrived to tip the scales of luxury and seclusion and was followed shortly after by The Bush Suite - an equally opulent den for couples, families and small groups.
A private annexe of the Bush Camp that comprises two suites and a central living area. Being the newest addition, the design, décor and luxury far exceeds expectations. It’s like having your own private African cottage in the bush, set with a view over the Acacia grassland, on the edge of a natural waterhole and with the Omboroko Mountains as a backdrop.
Offering exclusive use, the Bush Suite has a private chef, personal host and exclusive use of a game viewing vehicle. You won’t have to share your experience with other guests and your personal ranger will add a fascinating wildlife encounter to complete the package.
Luxurious. Leather. Lavish. The African décor of beads and baskets in neutral colours with warm accents and all the extras for comfort will make you feel right at home. You’re very own elegant “bush home” for the duration of your stay.
AfriCat Foundation; leopard viewing; AfriCat Carnivore Care Centre; Bushman trail; self-guided nature trails up to 8km; bird watching
The AfriCat Foundation is world-renowned for its conservation work with all predators, with the emphasis on cheetahs and leopards, and is the main attraction at Okonjima. Track leopards, hyaena and rhino, follow the Bushman trail, and game viewing and birdwatching on the 220 sq km reserve.
Children of all ages are welcome at the Bush Suite, but keep in mind that due to the nature of some activities, participation for children may be limited.
The AfriCat Foundation, established in the early 90s in Namibia, has evolved from a rescue-focused charity into a science-driven conservation organisation centred on long-term research of leopards and brown hyenas. Based on the 22,000-hectare Okonjima Nature Reserve, AfriCat now prioritises ecological research that guides evidence-based predator conservation and habitat restoration.
While it began by mitigating farmer–predator conflict and rehabilitating injured animals, AfriCat today partners with specialist groups for welfare work so it can focus fully on research, monitoring and sustainable reserve management. Tourism at Okonjima supports this mission, offering guests insight into modern, science-led conservation in action.
