Okapuka Lodge

close to Windhoek - Namibia

Okapuka Lodge offers a wonderful opportunity to experience lots of game in their natural environment. There are daily viewing and feeding of lions, this is bound to be the closest you will ever want to get! Apart from the lions, Okapuka also has many antelope, zebra, wildebeest, a rich bird life and perhaps most impressive rhino. All of these animals can be viewed on one of the informative game drives, or for the more adventurous from horse back, or even or by helicopter. Game viewing from horseback is an amazing experience, the game seems not to be scared by the horses (or riders) and this allows you to get closer than you had ever imagined possible.

Okapuka lodge is situated only 30km from Windhoek, and as such is an ideal overnight stop for those arriving or departing from the Windhoek International Airport.

Set along the edge of the park are 16 thatched roof rooms, specially designed to ensure comfort and luxury, while remaining almost invisible from a distance, as great architectural care has been taken to blend the rooms in with the surrounding bush.

Equipped with en-suite bathroom, telephone, coffee making facilities, mini bar fridge and open terrace, the rooms' walls are adorned with paintings by the well renowned artist von Aschenborn, and tastefully laid out carpets, made from wool of the local Karakul sheep, evoke the grandeur of times long gone by.

Another 4 rooms with balcony form part of the mountain lodge. Furnished with cane and wall to wall carpets, the rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV and all other facilities of the Park rooms. A bonus of course, is the spectacular view of the African landscape below, gently rolling towards the horizon

Many people choose to spend a few nights relaxing at Okapuka Lodge after their safari in Namibia but it is also possible to visit Okapuka on a day trip from Windhoek.
