"The home of Africat"
We used the activities to the full and had a super guide, Jonas, who took good care of us but also went out of his way to secure good animal sightings especially when tracking Leopard. For us the the animal sighting of the trip was here when we found TJ and a beautiful 8 yr old male who ate his dinner of Kudu whilst we enjoyed our sundowner next to him. That day we had sightings of five Leopard which was just great.
Service in the boma was good and the food amongst the best if only it had been hot when we got it." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Always be patient"
The game sightings are disappointing if you have spent a lot of time in the bush but you can never really get bored of seeing the large cats. I fear for the future as it is proposed to introduce lions in 2013 which will have a dramatic impact on cheetah tracking and possibly drive the leopards to more remote areas.
The main highlight was seeing a small pack (4) Wild Dogs make a kill but it took us 2 trips and 6 hours to find them, but was a unbelievable experience." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Our forth visit , even better than expected."
The standard of the Game drives is excellent, as is the knowledge of the guides.
The staff always friendly and efficient and food very good.
We are interested in the education and research aspect of Africat, we had a very informative talk with Tristan Boheme, one of the owners .
We found that our room was quite chilly at night time." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
Oh my goodness. The rondoval was stunning. The only problem was that we weren't there long enough to enjoy it. Meals were just superb. The excursions were fabulous.
I could have spent a week there. Wow!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
The cheetah tracking was great fun with very professional guides. We would have liked to have done the Leopard tracking but our schedule did'nt allow us time in the morning. We stayed in a view room which was a nice experience.
Great staff and a shared table for evening meal with other guests was a pleasant finish for the last evening of the holiday." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Great safari at Okonjima"
Unfortunately my husband suffered a bad electric shock when he opened one of the perimeter gate as there was noone there to open the gate for us. There should be warning signs on the gates" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Great big-cat experience"
The included activities (cheetah tracking on foot, leopard tracking by vehicle) were extraordinary experiences, and our guides Jonas and Angela thoughtful and knowledgeable. And the night hide gave us wonderful views of elusive honey-badgers and porcupines, including a dramatic fight in which the badger came off worse!
Dinner, although a set menu with no choices, was excellent in all respects.
Okonjima was a perfect end to an amazing holiday" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Great trips at Okonjima"
Rooms comfortable, food excellent and yet again friendly, helpful staff.
We did the leopard hunt (leopard finally spotted just before it got dark) and the cheetah hunt on foot. Would recommend both but would advise doing the leopard hunt in the morning rather than afternoon if possible as it got dark too quickly (5.30pm).
Only suggestion would be for the staff to give you a written outline of the various trips on offer on arrival - this is much easier to take in than the spoken word.
Restaurant was cold in the evening - more gas needed for the patio heaters !" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
We went leopard tracking and although we were excited to see a leopard I now have my doubts about vehicles following the animal with its radio collar. At least two vehicles were on its tail." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
And while we were very happy to see a leopard and a cheetah it did seem contrived to use a tracking device to find them." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
