A two-bedroom house on a 220 square kilometre reserve, taken exclusively, with its own chef, guide and pool.
01 / 06
Overview
Two Hundred and Twenty km²
Two en-suite bedrooms, a private guide, a private chef, and a 13-metre pool.
The Bush Suite sits alone on the Okonjima Nature Reserve, 220 square kilometres of central Namibian bush south of Otjiwarongo, and it is let exclusively — normally to one family or two couples travelling together. There are two separate en-suite bedrooms, a large open living area and kitchen, and a private 13-metre pool. Bathrooms have indoor and outdoor showers and a bath with a view. A private chef cooks when you want to eat, indoors or on the patio; a guide is assigned to the suite alone. Okonjima is home to the AfriCat Foundation, and it is one of the more reliable places in southern Africa to see leopard.
It is let exclusively. The Bush Suite is booked whole, for one party. There are no other guests and no shared vehicle.
