DID YOU KNOW?
‘THE OMBOROKO’ is the name of the main river on Okonjima.
The OKONJIMA ‘mountain range’ - is also called the ‘OMBOROKO MOUNTAINS’.
OMBOROKO means a natural ‘CRATER’ or what seems like a ‘man-made EXCAVATION’ in the Oshi-Herero language. There are a few natural ‘crater like formations’ in the area, which is why the Herero people named the river and the mountains on OKONJIMA – The Omborokos.
OKONJIMA from the Herero word meaning ‘PLACE OF THE BABOON’ – lies nestled in the Etjo Sand Stone, part of the well-known Waterberg Plateau.
An ‘ONJIMA’ is the ‘CHACMA BABOON’ you may see roaming the mountains around you when visiting Okonjima.
‘CHILALA’ in the Tonga language of Zambia means, “Sleeping or a Place to Rest”.
‘CHIMELO’ in Igbo – a language of Nigeria means, “Made by God.”
