Namibia : Waterburg

Okonjima
Okonjima lies on the Waterberg Plateau, about an hour north of the capital Windhoek. The farm is home to the Africat Foundation, where the owners Lise and Wayne actively rehome and raise orphaned cats, the main emphasis is on cheetahs, lions and leopards, but you will find other welcomed wildlife around the farm, lookout for Elvis the baboon and the warthogs!

There are ten luxury cottages on the farm all with en-suite rooms and a secluded swimming pool surrounded by beautiful gardens where a variety of birds and animals may be encountered. Your stay here will directly support the Africat foundation's work. Okonjima provides an excellent opportunity to get closer to these large cats and learn about their survival; you can watch collared leopards feeding at night from the safety of a hide, meet one of the three tame lions and watch some of the 40 cheetahs being taught survival skills before being returned to the wild. Other activities include a Bushman's trail, stunning mountain walks, bird watching, game viewing and night game viewing from an adapted hide.

With a very relaxed and serene atmosphere, the secluded Okonjima Guest Farm offers a personal welcome to each of its guests.
