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 and 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. 'The Main House' also sports 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 completed by a well-stocked mini bar in each Suite. Guests, once again, have 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. Each bedroom has a dial-up, internet connection with ample work space. An array of three concertinaing, glass-paneled 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. A personal host or hostess and chef attend to all your needs whilst you enjoy your exclusive guide and game-drive vehicle, thus setting the leisurely pace that bests suits you, your family or small group of friends, during your stay at THE VILLA. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: THE "AFRICAT" FOUNDATION: AfriCat is a non-profit organisation set up to conserve and protect threatened cheetah, leopard, and other wild cats of Namibia. Guests will be able to observe some of this program at work and learn more about these amazing and beautiful animals. LEOPARD VIEWING: Leopards are frequently seen, giving you an opportunity to observe these magnificent predators from a hide, or 'radio-tracked' from our game-viewing vehicle. The leopards roam freely and catch their own prey within the 4000 ha rehabilitation area. These cats however, are notoriously people-shy and sightings are not guaranteed. THE CHEETAH PROJECT: offers you valuable insight into the welfare work of The AfriCat Foundation. CHEETAH TRACKING: You are invited to participate, on foot, in the radio-tracking of the rehabilitated cheetahs on the Cheetah Tracking Trail. BUSHMAN TRAIL: Experience a day in the life of a Bushman. It constitutes an easy walking trail and is highly informative. You get to learn about the art of making traditional artifacts and how the San adapt and survive in an unforgiving wilderness environment. Participation is welcomed! NATURE TRAIL: Self-guided walking trails of up to 8 km, for those of you who want to spend some time alone in the solitude of the Okonjima wilderness. BIRD WATCHING: identify some of the more than 250+ species in the area, including Namibian endemics - Carp's Black Tit, Hartlaub's Francolin and the Damara Rock Runner. PHOTOGRAPHY:
With the abundance of animals and bird life and spectacular scenery,
Okonjima is a photographer's paradise. Be sure to
bring plenty of film!! Photographers take note: Due to the specific
nature of our new rehabilitation project - all free roaming cats
on Okonjima are radio-collared. 2006 - 2007 Rates : on request
