"Okunjima Bush Camp was very patatial"

1 night Arrived 3 May 2013
"Okonjima had been sold to us as a great place to overnight on the way to the airport. It turned out that it would have been worthy of a longer stay. Perhaps another time. Although some distance from the airport it was an ideal place to stay to catch a mid / late afternoon flight.

We were booked on a half board basis and, therefore, had to pay for activities which seemed rather expensive and I wonder if a different 'package' would have given better value." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 7n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Wonderful for getting close to big cats"

2 nights Arrived 21 Dec 2012
"This was a different experience from the rest of our trip as the big cats here are mainly collared and so can be radio-tracked. This did not in any way detract from the wonderful experience of getting VERY close to both a leopard and a cheetah.

Our guide Rohan was one of the best we have ever had anywhere !! He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and seemed to be as excited about seeing the animals as we were! We went with another guide, Gideon, to see the information centre of the Africat Foundation which runs Okonjima, and he gave us an extremely informative tour of the facilities.

The Bush Camp is a really comfortable, well appointed and well run camp, and with the superb guides here, we felt this was an excellent experience and a wonderful way to finish our wonderful holiday !" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"A very good lodge"

2 nights Arrived 23 Nov 2012
"We were very fortunate as we think we were upgraded to their bush suite, because of a big party staying at the main lodge, which was fantastic.

The bush suite was a 3 minute drive from the main lodge and the other chalets. We enjoyed some very interesting guided drives to see leopold and cheetah. An excellent stay." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Okonjima Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Nov 2012
"Think we were upgraded here as we seemed to be the only ones in a very large one-off villa in main camp. Room and bathroom were stunning but very hot. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Excellent guides who were very knowledgable and helpful." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"We Were Upgraded to the Villa!"

3 nights Arrived 7 Nov 2012
"Although we loved Bush Camp on our previous visit, we had an even more amazing time in the Villa. On our final night, we had the whole place to ourselves. The facilities are incredible.

Beautiful suite with every luxury and wonderful views of the bush from our bed. Drinks and laundry were inclusive and the meals, cooked for us by the chef at the Villa, were delicious. Clive was an excellent guide and we had some really great sightings of leopards, cheetahs and much more besides.

We definitely plan to visit Okonjima again." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
