"Leopards spotted!"

2 nights Arrived 12 Oct 2019
"Great room overlooking the plain.

Enjoyed both the drives we did although sponsorship for was rammed down your throats a bit too much but can put up with that to then see the cheetahs.

The morning leopard tracking drive was fantastic in that we saw both a male and female leopard." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

1 night Arrived 9 Oct 2019
"We had a comfortable stay, the rooms were very good, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

We did the Leopard tracking, and enjoyed it as a sundowner tour. The tracking itself was interesting, and we managed to find a leopard. As photographers it was just ok. The tracking collar took away from the photos, but we did enjoy the drive, and a beautiful sunset." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"good"

2 nights Arrived 3 Oct 2019
"Interesting place. Seen tagged leopard in tree.

However, excursion to cheeta's in enclosure was interesting but not the real thing mostly a reason for a contribution to Afri Cat which we would have been happy to give anyway. .

Story of cheetahs very sad ie cant be released into the park as the leopards kill them all as rivals for prey." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2019
"Bigger than some of the other places we stayed and somewhat less welcoming, although the staff were all very friendly. Felix, our guide took us on a really good drive in the morning tracking a leopard which we finally found. The afternoon drive to see the work of the Africat Foundation was interesting but less exciting in that the cheetahs there are now in captivity and provided with food rather than in the wild.

Our standard room was very good with a nice view across the bush and very well equipped. We don’t see the benefit of a View room.

We went on one of the three walks which was well signposted and a good opportunity to see some animals on foot rather than from a vehicle." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"We really enjoyed staying here.

It was obviously of some concern to the staff though that no photographs which showed animals in enclosures were taken. We're not sure why if everything was as above-board as it appeared to be!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Wow. Wow. Wow."

2 nights Arrived 12 Sep 2019
"This camp is Luxury from start to finish. I am pleased we stayed here on our last 2 nights, or it would have been all downhill from here on.

The rooms are fantastic, with a panoramic view while you are laid in bed of the wildlife area. Ours was a standard room, so I have no idea what the people got extra for their extra money. The bathroom is huge and you are provided with everything that you need. The food was excellent, Well Presented by friendly and attentive waiters.

This is well worth the 25 km from the main road to get here.

We went on 2 organised game drives, one that included a sundowner and one the following day, when we saw the Leopard." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Quite an experience at Okonjima Plains Camp"

1 night Arrived 10 Sep 2019
"Africat Foundation's Okonjima Plains Camp is a remarkable place. Our individual "standard" camp chalets were extremely large and very deluxe, with a huge well equipped bathroom. The chalet overlooks the concession area where we saw the occasional animal. A large open lounge and dining area in the main lodge is artistically designed and has an adjoining well stocked gift shop.
The main attractions at Okonjima are the cheetah and leopards, which we hoped to see on our afternoon and morning drives. Our South African guide Jordi was passionate about the work done by Africat and he proved to be an amazing guide, expressing a personal relationship he had with the animals. He did, in fact, lead us to one of the leopards within an hour of starting to track it.
He provided us with clear and concise information about the work done by the foundation and the relationship it has with the country's farming community.
The meals were of very high standard and dining room service was excellent" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
