"Excellent experience"
The service and general ambience in the main areas we great. Everyone was very friendly. Our guide was excellent and really tried hard to get us a glimpse (however fleeting) of a leopard.
We had a fantastic experience walking close to Cheetah and Rhino and then really enjoyed the AfriCat centre. Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Okonjima Bush Camp review"
We had lunch and breakfast here which were fantastic, however, I skipped dinner as I was ill, but they very considerately sent my dinner to my room. The staff were very attentive and friendly and there is a well stocked gift shop.
There's plenty of activities on offer here, but a major highlight was the leopard tracking and sundowner drive - we were incredibly fortunate in that we saw two leopards, one very closely with her cub - even our guide said he'd only seen one of these leopards twice in four years so he was also over the moon."

"Okonjima, a must!"
Angel the Manager was excellent and runs a tight ship with everything done to perfection. Attention to detail justifies its success. Helia his assistant must be mentioned too.
Game drives to see Leopards and Cheetahs fantastic and Previous, our Zimbabwean guide, a fund of knowledge about every aspect of the work of this big cat sanctuary.
The early morning walk to see the cheetahs hunting was a fantastic privilege.
Lovely people and lovely place with fantastic accommodation. A must go-to place." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Okonjima Bush Camp is amazing!"
Our guide Daniel was excellent. He and the trackers did a great job finding a big male leopard called Nkozi, 2 pairs of cheetah and a pair of African Wild dog for us to track and watch.
On our evening visit to the hide we saw a family of porcupine, a honey badger and a brown hyena!
It was a bit unclear what activities were included and which were extras. We opted for a night drive on our last evening which we thought was included, but found out later was extra. Not a big problem but the paperwork we had in advance wasn't clear about this.
The stars here are amazing too.
The camp is in huge fenced area where you can walk on your own without the risk of meeting a predator. We were therefore able to walk the Dik Dik trail on our own to watch birds It was good to be out of the vehicle and stretch the legs! On our walk we saw black wildebeest."

"Okonjima Bush Camp review"
We did the Leopard trek in the evening and the early morning Cheetah trek with our guide Jonas who was brilliant. Both activities were great and were very lucky to see two wild dogs and a cheetah involved in a kudu kill on the morning walking trail. We were allowed to stay for as long as we wanted and not rushed back - they just worked around us, having breakfast laid on later and also letting us check out late - all staff seemed to work in sync.
Overall great place which is made special with the exceptional staff and service." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
"Another wonderful place!"
The boys' highlight were the wild dogs. We enjoyed being able to walk near the cheetahs.
Our guide was Daniel who was gorgeous. We also liked Jason and Angel
Our rooms were stunning and to have a day room was unexpected and very special." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
