The Lodge

Okapuka Safari Lodge

Okapuka Safari Lodge, part of the Gondwana Collection, lies on 7,300 hectares of bushveld with wide views of the mountains, only 30 minutes from Windhoek. It is a good place to start or end a journey through Namibia.

The 21 rooms are rustic bungalows with verandas, and antelope often graze on the lawns in front of them. The restaurant stands among old camelthorn trees and serves Namibian and international dishes, and there is a pool for the warm afternoons.

Most Namibian antelope species live on the farm, and the lodge runs sunrise and sunset game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with an experienced guide, with drinks and light snacks along the way.
