Okonjima Plains Camp

CLASSIC ROOMS

The Plains Camp lies within the secluded wilderness area of the Reserve and has majestic sunset views. Game drives in search of elusive leopards and guided bush walks offer visitors an intimate, up-close perspective of Namibia’s wildlife with special emphasis on its most endangered species.

Its design honours the founding family, the Hanssen’s family cattle-farming history with its accommodation facility of 11 large View Rooms and 14 spacious Classic Rooms. The Plains Camp Barn includes a warm dining and lounge area with views over a spectacular waterhole and the Okonjima plains.

The 14 Classic, standard Rooms also offer views of the Okonjima grass plains, but they are slightly smaller compared to the View Rooms.
Among them, four rooms combine to create two spacious family units. The family unit comprising rooms 1 and 2 is located nearest to the barn, while the second family unit with rooms 13 and 14 is situated about 600 meters away. The rooms are thoughtfully spaced 10 to 15 meters apart, ensuring a degree of privacy from the entertainment area at the barn.

Each Classic Room features:
- A compact veranda equipped with two director’s chairs
- Wheelchair ramp for accessibility
- Two double beds
- WiFi connectivity; mobile-phone reception.
- Air Conditioning suitable for cooling down in Summer months & heating the room in Winter months
- A table, and two director’s chairs
- A tea and a coffee station equipped with freshly ground coffee and a French press (plunger) for your early morning ‘cup of java’.
- A small fridge or minibar
- Dual roof fans
- Twin basins and a spacious twin shower
- A secure safety-deposit box
