Okonjima Lodge

Otjiwarongo - Namibia

Okonjima is so much more than just a luxury lodge.

It is also home to the AfriCat Foundation, which is committed to researching and rehabilitating Namibia’s threatened wild cat population.
AfriCat is known internationally after featuring in an award-winning documentary filmed for the Discovery Channel. Among the carnivores being researched and rehabilitated by AfriCat are cheetah, leopard, lion and caracal.

Guests are given the opportunity of tracking cheetahs by foot or visiting the Cheetah Project. Wild leopards are lured to feeding-tables every night, giving all our guests a chance to watch these magnificent predators from the safety of a hide. Regrettably no day visitors or children under the age of 12 years will be permitted.
