Omatozu Game Farm
Accommodation near Okahandja - Namibia
Omatozu Game Farm is located 100km north of Namibia's capital city Windhoek, and just 25km from the town of Okahandja. This central location means it is en-route to Waterberg Plateau and Namibia's main tourist attraction, Etosha National Park. This guest farm has easy access making it an ideal stop-over for self-drive tourists at the beginning or end of a Namibian holiday.
The location and relaxed atmosphere at Omatozu make it an idyllic place for those wanting to escape the rigours of modern life. The hosts Carla & Arthur are both very knowledgeable with regard to Namibian wildlife. Carla was one of the first woman trophy hunters in the country while Arthur is a retired vet who specialised in treating large game and was involved in cheetah research.
The entertainment area consists of a wooden deck with a bar, dining room and lounge. The braai area affords views of the farm dam with the opportunity to experience the incredible Namibian night sky around a camp fire. The cosy living room has an open fireplace, a popular winter night-time venue. Other facilities include a laundry service while dinner, breakfast and braai-packs are available on request.
Across the lawn from the main camp and nestled amongst thorn trees are 3 x luxury walk-in tents: En-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, electricity, bedside lights, plugs, linen and towels are standard.
