"Loved it!"
This camp is all about the activities and we were booked on them all! We tracked leopards (twice), walked up to a group of cheetahs and visited the Africat Foundation.
We were grouped with 2 other couples from the UK for the game drives and meals and kept the same guide throughout.
We couldn't visit the hide though as the storm knocked out the lights there." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Okonjima Main Camp review"
The rooms were excellent and fully equiped with fridge, coffee/tea making facilites and quality toiletries etc.
Given the size of the lodge dinner was disappointing. There was no choice. Whilst it's presentation was more sophisticated the quality of the actual food was no where near the quality we had experienced at the other lodges. Breakfast was good.
We were rather rushed into an afternoon activity as soon as we arrived and didn't get a chance to catch our breath. The same guide (Norman) was allocated to us during the stay who was very good and obviously very committed / enthusiastic about the project. It did feel a bit like being bomarded with information. Our other activities with Norman were excellent and possibly the highlight has to be the afternoon drive through a thunderstom being pelleted with hailstones and getting soaked. All was taken with good humour as we sought refuge at the other camp, were given warming drinks, dried out a little and then continued our drive." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Got upgraded to Bush Camp!!"
Bit dissapointed that we didnt get to 'adopt a spot' and felt surprised that staff werent more willing to assist with us donating to the Foundation." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 1n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
We loved our Cheetah walk and leopard tracking. We had a sundowner with a sleeping leopard. The staff seemed to be completely oriented toward our satisfaction. The internet was unusable. It was just too slow. Our view room was nice but we had quite a hike to the lodge. The food was excellent.
We had a little ant problem... but no big deal." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Okonjima main camp review"
The lodge and surrounding area is 'safe from predators' so don't worry if you have children - it is fine. Our guide (Martin) was fantastic. Lovely food, cakes with afternoon tea and breakfasts excellent. Our only very minor comment was we felt the staff were just a little too enthusiastic in constantly offering drinks to us and the children during every evening. Just left a slight feeling of them trying to extract as much money from us as they could." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Upgraded!"
Lovely room which opened down one side straight onto the open bush. We had Helmeted Guineafowl and Hornbills sitting outside waiting to be fed!
We all ate at big tables, which gave us a chance to talk to the other guests, who were mainly Dutch, German and Swiss, all speaking excellent English!
Two amazing trips out with Rohan , tracking both Cheetah and Leopard, with really close sightings of both. Should have stayed another night!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

A lovely place, with wonderful big cats. The leopard tracking and cheetah tracking were very special - did leopards twice." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Final night"
Dinner was very good and enjoyed the company of others during the meal. Went on the after dinner drive in search of cheetah - no luck but did see a pangolin
Exceptionally comfortable night's sleep" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
