Reviews of Okonjima Plains Camp

"This was our favourite place of our whole trip to Namibia.

Our rooms were spacious and comfortable with wonderful views from the picture windows. The food was lovely.

The staff were friendly and helpful and seemed to enjoy working there.

We did five activities while we were there. They were all great fun and we learnt loads about the area and the animals that lived there. The guides and trackers were really knowledgeable. Altogether it was a wonderful experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"On arrival we discovered we had been upgraded to the Bush Camp. Best accomadation of the trip. With lots of attention to detail. Wonderful all round views from our Chalet. Game Drives excellent, saw both Leopard and Cheetah and many other game animals including an Ardvark. Magnificent sundowner spot.

Main Bush Camp complex was exceptionally well laid out and very relaxing. Sydney one of the game guides was very good.

The staff also presented me with a card, photograph, and a huge Birthday cake, which we shared with the other guests and staff as there was so much of it. I was very touched. We would loved to have stayed for longer.

A lovely place." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"We were upgraded to a beautiful View Room from a Garden Room.

We expected this to be one of the highlights of our trip but it wasn't... possibly because my scorpion bite/sting was causing me problems at this stage but also the game drives and food were not up to the standard we were expecting." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia

"It was a shame to spend only one night here as there is so much to do.

We went on a leopard drive, a night watch from a hide where we saw porcupines, and a cheetah drive where we saw the rehab area. Very good staff obviously committed to the wildlife and excellent accomodation." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"We were upgraded to Okonjima Bush Camp [Ed: from Main Camp] on the arrival - thank you, whoever took this decision ;-)

It's a great place with fantastic activities - we saw cheetahs and leopards - including a leopard hunting a warthog, which was a great spectacle! A nice bonus was 18 giraffes by the waterholes. Our guide Dean was great, we enjoyed every minute of our drives. He had a vast knowledge and an excellent sense of humour ;) The trails for self-guided walks were also a nice idea.

The room was very big and nicely furnished, the only problem was a lack of hot water on the second day. The bird seeds and the little waterbowl are a wonderful idea - we saw plenty of birds from really close and we also had a visit from a hungry warthog who fancied the bird seeds, too. OUR food was very tasty as well. :)" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Actually ended up in the Bush Camp rather than the Main Camp. We still enjoyed it though. The welcome was fine. The rooms seemed a little tired, but they had everything we needed. Very much enjoyed feeding the birds and Warthogs with the bird seed provided. Service was good, and so was the food.

Guiding was very good, and all the activities were interesting and a lot of fun. The guides were friendly and mixed well with the guests.

It was a different experience again, which we knew before we went, but was justified in what we learned and what we saw. Leopards, Cheetah and Porcupine were all seen here.

A few more people were here at the same time, and it was enjoyable from a social aspect too." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"We were upgraded to the Bush Camp with our own little chalet and this was true luxury. There was a little bird bath under the trees outside the chalet and bird seed to feed them with. At one point we sat and watched a waterhog, guinea fowl and an African Hornbill all munching away on the seeds right outside our room.

The main lodge is beautiful and the staff as good as any top hotel in the world. The food was first class.

The activities were superb and our guide Jacques was exceptional. Passionate, knowledgeable and determined to make sure we got to see the leopards and cheetahs no matter how difficult this was. We were very lucky to be at the camp when the yearly Vet checks were taking place and we were allowed to watch a cheetah having it's health check. It was fascinating to learn all about the Africat foundation. It was very exciting and a perfect end to a perfect holiday.

The cost of the leopard trip was 415 Namibian dollars which was fantastic value for money. We were out for hours, and saw much more than leopards. Jacques told us about all the game in the different areas of the reserve as well as the story of how it all started.

Excellent." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"We were happily surprized to find that we had been upgraded to the Bush camp due to a large group being booked in at the Main camp. After staying at the Bush Camp we appreciated why the cost is higher but felt it would have been well-worth it.

The guides Albert and Jacques were dedicated to finding us a leopard, we saw three hyenas rolling in a waterhole, photographed a sleepy Spotted Eagle Owl quite close by, and really enjoyed getting to know the other guests at dinner.

Best of all was a stop in at the Africat clinic where annual health checks for the cheetah were being given and we learned more about the lives of this threatened species and all that Africat is doing to protect and promte them." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
