Otjiwarongo was established in 1892, and
is considered one of the oldest towns in the country. The word “Otjiwarongo”
is derived from the Herero language meaning the beautiful place. Okonjima
is so much more than just a luxury lodge. It is also home to the AfriCat
Foundation, which is committed to researching and rehabilitating Namibia’s
threatened wild cat population.

Okonjima is so much more than just a luxury lodge. It
is also home to the AfriCat Foundation, which is committed to researching
and rehabilitating Namibia’s threatened wild cat population.
AfriCat is known internationally after featuring in an award-winning documentary
filmed for the Discovery Channel.
Among the carnivores being researched and rehabilitated by AfriCat are
cheetah, leopard, lion and caracal.
Guests are given the opportunity of tracking cheetahs by foot or visiting
the Cheetah Project.
Wild leopards are lured to feeding-tables every night, giving all our
guests a chance to watch these magnificent predators from the safety of
a hide.
Regrettably no day visitors or children under the age of 12 years will
be permitted.
