Reviews of Okonjima Plains Camp

"We were lucky to be upgraded but our location made no difference to the safaris.

Excellent leopard tracking and superb foot safari.

Cannot recommend this palce to highly. Genuine value for money.

A must for Namibia visitors." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia

"We had so much fun at Okonjima Plains Camp - the staff were fab and the tours were amazing. Our guide (we had the same one for all of them so built up a nice rapport) really, really tried (and succeeded) to find us Cheetah and Leopard even through a massive thunderstorm!

The accommodation was once again amazing, with massive, spacious rooms and beautiful bathrooms.

The main building at Okonjima was great - with ample room for the kids to knock about and make friends with other kids. The food was great and the service was again wonderful.

The management staff really made us feel welcome and special, wonderful" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"What a wonderful camp to finish our memorable trip! We absolutely loved it - the room - even though called Standard - was excellent, the massive lapa brilliant for relaxing and for food, the activities and getting to know the work of AfriCat were all outstanding.

We really enjoyed the drives, and by far the highlights of the stay at this camp was the quality of the food at dinners, the acknowledgement of our honeymoon, and - most importantly - the friendliness of all the staff. We had a wonderful guide, Ims, helped by Opari, who were both extremelly funny and friendly, open-minded and helpful, and Ims particularly knowledgeable for a guide who is only 21 years old. And of course the staff at the Camp - led by Tobias, Angel and all their other colleagues, particularly Dennis, who looked after so well in terms of drinks from the bar. Absolutely fantastic time and we felt it was definitely worth spending two days before flying back there.

We will certainly consider staying at this camp again, and will be following the work of AfriCat, as we have made a donation to the NGO already." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Okonjima Plains Camp as we had been upgraded to the bush camp. The introduction to the camp was good and the room was exceptional. The only down side was that there was an issue with the water supply the following morning which was quickly fixed.

The game drives use telemetry tracking as some of the animals are collared. We enjoyed our game drives and had good sightings of leopard and cheetah. We did struggle to understand why so many animals, leopards in particular, were collared. The room also had a supply of birdseed and the feeding of Honey Badgers and Porcupines at night differs from most other camps we have been to where you are actively discouraged from feeding the animals.

The food at the camp was good and accompanied by good service." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"We had a lovely stay at Okonjima. The room was delightful with an uninterrupted view over the plains.

The staff were very good and helpful, the guide was excellent and found 5 cheetahs and one leopard, as well as plenty of other wildlife." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"We did not stay at Plains Camp but did have a quick look. Style is different to the African style of Bush Camp but would be comfortable.

We will probably continue to ask for Bush Camp" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"A well-run, ethical Camp where the opportunities of seeing cheetah and leopard (etc.) is near-guaranteed, given that the rescued ones have emitting collars.

Overall, an excellent experience." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Fabulous rooms - although booked at Plains Camp, we were upgraded on arrival to Bush Camp.

Unfortunately it was not made clear to us on arrival that each activity was to be paid for as our "itinerary" (afternoon drive, optional night hide/drive, morning drive and afternoon drive), so we ended up paying a little more for the activities than we had intended.

The lodge is focused around the drives, and allows you to get very close to leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena - all of which were fabulous. We also saw the elusive pangolin." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"An interesting place to stay with good activities to see Leopard and Cheetahs.

Slightly more commercial orientated than some of the private lodges but we enjoyed our stay." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Amazing place - loved it! Basic chalet was fantastic - huge room (not overlooked) had full wall windows and views over the savanna.

Wildlife, notably warthog families, regularly trooped past the front door. The 'barn', the main building is a design masterpiece of light, space and artwork and the pool, though rarely used, is equally good. Service was good, staff friendly and the food was excellent.

The radio tracking was extremely well organised and very enjoyable and we did both the cheetah tracking (on our arrival) and leopard tracking (early the next morning). The guides were excellent and knowledgeable. Both activities resulted in wonderful photos.

The onsite shop is also worth checking out with prices lower that those found elsewhere.

Would go back tomorrow!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
