Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp | Okonjima Nature Reserve

The Okonjima Game Reserve in the Omboroko Mountains is the fund-raising arm of the famous AfriCat Foundation, non-profit organisation, committed to long-term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores, especially big cats. Visitors staying here learn a great deal about leopard and cheetah, and can view them at close range in their natural habitat, knowing that their visit is not only enjoyable but supports the conservation work. Perhaps track leopards in the rehabilitation area, radio-track cheetah on foot or visit the cheetah project. After dinner you can visit the hide to spot night creatures like caracal, porcupine or honey-badgers. The fascinating Bushman walking trail is also highly recommended, as is simply relaxing by the pool.

Okonjima Bush Camp offers 8 well-spaced, and therefore secluded, chalets on the edge of a wilderness area. Each circular room is attractively decorated with a cosy seating area with day bed and mini-bar, a bedroom with views over the grasslands and behind the bedroom area is the dressing area and bathroom with shower and enclosed loo.The decor is a combination of earthy, ochre walls and khaki-green canvas, under a thatched roof.

Mushara Outpost | Etosha East

The Mushara Outpost is on the same reserve as the Mushara Lodge and Villa Mushara, as the crow flies 2 km east of the Mushara Lodge. Guests are accommodated in custom made tents on a wooden deck nestled amongst trees on the western bank of a small omuramba, also known as a dry river bed. The tents face eastwards, to allow for privacy and protection from the sun which is harshest from the west.

Each tent has a deck of 12 square meters of private space which provides the perfect spot for enjoying the solitude of nature. A large glass sliding door leads into the tent, all windows and doors are covered with fly-screen to keep cool air in and insects out. Three large glass windows stretching from ceiling to floor allow for plenty of fresh air during the night. For very warm afternoons, air conditioning adds an extra level of comfort. The open-plan bathroom has an enclosed toilet with ceiling and two large windows. The shower walls are glass from top to bottom. The furnishing of the tent is minimal, comfortable and has a light feel to it. A mini bar, coffee station, safe, telephone, mosquito net and hair drier are standard.

The main lodge is styled on an old farm house and has tall walls and a corrugated iron roof with a large wrap around veranda. This is North-east facing to take advantage of cooling shade. The ambiance is that of a well lived in house, friendly, warm and extremely comfortable with a homely atmosphere. Dinner is enjoyed under the African stars, breakfast and lunch are taken on the veranda and in the house. A wide refreshing pool is welcome relief after a hot day in Etosha where the focus of the day's activities take place.

The Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier big game destination and one of Africa's iconic landmarks. The Mushara Outpost offers game drives into the park with talented local guides who are truly passionate about sharing the wonders of Etosha. The Mushara Outpost is all about old-fashioned hospitality with warm, friendly and personalized service on the door step of the magical Etosha Pan National Park.

Etosha Oberland Lodge | Etosha South

The lodge’s hallmarks are luxury and plenty of privacy. This remarkable place is superbly suited for safari excursions into Etosha. The main building is surrounded by large, ancient mopane trees in a wild, but park-like setting. Upon entering the lobby with the bar and spacious seating areas, the eye is drawn through the open building to the vast savannah, where often enough the first animals can be spotted right then. The large infinity pool also offers fantastic views of the open plain in front of the lodge and the two waterholes. The best spot to enjoy the sunset with a drink of your choice. After that we will treat you to a delicious 5-course dinner in our restaurant.

Our spacious chalets have been integrated into nature with loving care. They are placed so far apart and aligned so cleverly, that there is no sign of a neighbor. As a result, the rooms offer a high degree of privacy and unobstructed views of the savannah. The ingredients for a relaxed sojourn are 75 m² of living space, tasteful natural furnishings and colors, air conditioning and Wi-Fi in the room, minibar, tea and coffee station, and above all the incredible view. Great attention to detail rounds off the experience.

'Kipwe', meaning blessed in Swahili, is built creatively into the large granite boulders of the Twyfelfontein area and is found in the Beautiful Damaraland, Namibia

Camp Kipwe is nestled in the boulders, facing out onto superb scenery. Incorporating boulders, small red basalt rocks and mopane branches, it has a natural organic feel. The eight rooms at Kipwe are round in shape, with large outside decks to admire the view. The outside, partially open bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms have boulder, cement and rock walls, and roofs of rough mopane branches. Hot water is supplied by wood-burning 'donkey' boilers.

A small swimming pool built into the rocks and a viewpoint with 360 degrees of beauty, are two attractive outdoor features. Activities at the camp include nature drives with the possibility of seeing the desert-adapted elephants in the dry season, Twyfelfontein excursions to the rock engravings and guided walks in front of the camp with Kipwe's experienced guides.

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch | Kalahari Namibia

Bagatelle lodge lies on the edge of the Southern Kalahari in the mixed tree and shrub Savanna. The ranch is characterised by huge red sands dunes running parallel, and in a northern-westerly to south-easterly direction. The valleys in between the parallel dunes are commonly known as 'streets'. The design and décor, materials and furnishings, gardens and natural settings, all combine to ensure our guests live their dream of an African Safari. A rambling old farmhouse was extensively altered, upgraded and renovated to not only serve as a residence, but also as the main nerve center of the Lodge. An entrance hall leads to the reception, lounge, dining room, bar & cellar, library and office. There is a swimming pool and recreation area with a pool table and hammock. An open air lapa for outdoor meals captures the atmosphere of an African Safari.

Although two styles of chalets are provided, both have the same standard of luxury and finished quality. Four chalets, constructed of wood and on stilts are built on top of a Kalahari sand dune, with unsurpassed views to the Southwest. The other six chalets are built in the street or valley between the dunes. These chalets are built of 'hay bales' with walls 600mm thick, the insulation and atmosphere are equally effective and tranquil. The main difference between the two styles of chalets besides the construction method, is the fact that the dune chalets have a bath and shower, while the 'hay bale' chalets only have a shower. The standard and quality of finish is the same for all our chalets, with exquisite décor and equipped to exceed your expectations.
