"We have to return!"
They provided us with a bottle of Champagne to celebrate our anniversary which was a lovely touch. Our room had a great view out over the plain with hills in the distance, and Warthogs, Oryx and Impala in sight. In fact our room was stunningly spacious.
We have to return as we have adopted a Leopard - 2 years time all being well." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

On the second afternoon we went to see the work that the Foundation is carrying out. This was the only disappointing part of our stay here - a short talk and a chance to look at some small photographs didn't really enthuse us (they need some advice about how to conduct educational tours). This trip, however, did enable us to get close to some captive cheetahs who were being prepared for release into the reserve and their "ambassador" leopard.
We enjoyed good quality food here and the whole wonderful experience was topped off by a bottle of sparkling wine to celibrate our anniversary." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Okonjima Plains Camp review"
Leopard drive fully recommended and not to be missed, Previous was a great guide who gave an excellent game drive and went out of his way to show us as much as possible. The vegetarian options were very good. Highly recommend this camp." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Okonjima Plains Camp review"
The information in the rooms referred to a night hide but when we asked about this it wasn't available at the Plains camp. I'm not clear if it was at the other camp, but it is something we would have enjoyed using, particularly as we were a bit unlucky on the night drive and didn't see too much."

"Okonjima is beautful but lacking character"
"A different experience"
We had a problem getting into the property as the gate wouldn't open. We sat in the very hot sun with cars lining up behind us and with not much information from the people we called. Eventually they did come and open the gate and we did have a good time there. But probably liked it the least of all the other places we stayed. But it was still very nice. We did finally see cheetah cubs and the next day my daughter finally saw a leopard" See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia

Meals and bar served in the very impressive glass-fronted Barn, which over looks the plains and a small waterhole. Comfortable 3 hour drive from Windhoek airport." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Africat and the honeymoon suite"
Food was taken around dining tables which seated 6-8 and was well presented and served, with a good variety.
The game drive on the first day was a disappointment. The tracking equipment did not seem to be working very well. We did manage to get a glimpse of one leopard (which strangely did not have a collar!) On the second day we looked for Cheetah and found two very placid looking ones which had not long since been released into the hunting area. A special treat was the Porcupine watching after dinner from a specially constructed hide." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
