Okonjima lies nestled in the unspoiled beauty of the Omboroko Mountains, part of the Waterberg Plateau. In the Herero language, Okonjima means 'place of the baboons'.

Okonjima is home to the Africat Foundation which is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to the conservation and protection of Namibia's threatened cats, primarily cheetah and leopard. The organisation seeks to find solutions to the conflict between predators and farmers in Namibia.

You will be able to observe the programme at work giving you some wonderful photographic opportunities.

There is a bird hide within walking distance from the lodge where over 300 species have been identified including most of the Namibian endemics. There are also a number of walking trails including a guided Bushman trail where you will learn about the traditional lifestyle and philosophy of these unique and ancient people.
