Okonjima Bush Suite
Two-bedroom private bush suite with chef and waterhole pool inside Okonjima Nature Reserve
Skip to product information
Glass spans 180 degrees around each bedroom, framing the Omboroko Mountains and the waterhole that leopard, brown hyaena, and plains game visit after dark. The suite sits in open acacia thornveld on the edge of the Okonjima valley, a two-bedroom thatched structure that accommodates four. Two separate en-suite bedrooms share a double-volume roof; each holds two queen-size beds, air-conditioning, and doorways fitted with roll-down canvas and gauze screens. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the lounge and dining areas. The chef-designed kitchen includes gas and electric hobs, a double-door refrigerator with ice maker, and wine and soft-drink coolers.
A 13-metre swimming pool overlooks the waterhole. Staff prepare meals on-site and handle turndown service; you set the schedule. Game drives and leopard-tracking excursions depart from the suite with a private guide using telemetry to locate collared individuals monitored by the AfriCat Foundation, whose research programme has followed three generations of leopard since 1997. Brown hyaena tracking focuses on the reserve's unusually dense population — 24 individuals per 100 square kilometres, the highest recorded density for the species. Pangolin tracking runs at night or, seasonally, by day, always on foot and in silence. Rhino tracking is led by the anti-poaching team.
The reserve spans 220 square kilometres of acacia thornveld, mountain outcrops, and riverine thickets. It is malaria-free. Wi-Fi and mobile reception reach both bedrooms and the main living area. Secure parking and laundry service are standard.
