The Grand African Villa

OKONJIMA’S GRAND AFRICAN HOUSE

COMPLETED DEC 2005

A Unique Experience in a Home away from Home.

THE VILLA, overlooking a natural waterhole, is situated in a secluded wilderness area approximately 10 km from our Main Camp.

THE VILLA has 2 separate, private Suites, together with 2 select, en-suite bedrooms in the ‘Main House’, which together can accommodate groups of up to 8 adults and 4 children.
The graceful ‘Main House’ consists of:
- An Up-to-date, chef-designed kitchen with wine and soft drink coolers, both gas and electrical cooking facilities and an endless supply of ice from a double door refrigerator.
- The living spaces are punctuated by a spacious lounge and dining area with an open, wood-burning fireplace.
- There are 2 en-suite, luxury bedrooms. The bathrooms have both an inside shower and a spectacular, outside bush-shower, together with a beautiful bath-with-a-view.
- A Magnificent infinity pool, surrounded on three sides by African, red teak decking and a walkway to an open, shaded ‘Sala’ - for some serious birding and afternoon napping - incorporating a roof fan to stir the gentle breeze that crosses the adjoining waterhole.
2 separate, exquisite, thatched Suites situated approximately 35m – 50m on either side of ‘The Main House’ are complemented by:
- A well-stocked mini bar in each Suite.
- The choice of either an inside or a unique, outside bush-shower.
- Toilets and bidets accompany the baths, all with a bush view.
- Fittingly, 3 of the 4 bedrooms have magnificent, wheeled, king size beds, for rolling out onto the terraces to sleep under the stars.
All the bedrooms
- Have air-conditioning, high airy roofs with fans and when needed, heating facilities.
- An array of three, glass-panelled doors easily fold away to give magnificent, panoramic views of the surrounding vistas. These open doorways may be substituted with an elegant but practical, ‘roll-down’ canvas partitioning that contains heavy-duty gauze screens. This zip-fastened, secure, tent-style canvassing not only provides sufficient light, but also contributes to the impression of living in the wild by delivering the audible ambience of your surroundings, while still maintaining a degree of comfort and safety.
- Have Wi-Fi or a dial-up, internet connection with ample work space.
A personal host or hostess and chef attend to all your guest’s needs whilst they enjoy their exclusive guide and game-drive vehicle, thus setting the leisurely pace that bests suits them, their family or small group of friends, during their stay at OKONJIMA’S Grand African House.
- A fully inclusive rate ONLY.
- From mid May 2010 - No children under the age of 12 years.
- {During certain periods of the year The Villa is opened as a second ‘Bush Camp’ and sold as 3 or 4 separate rooms – depending on the group or individual bookings. (Bush Camp FB rates apply)}
