Okonjima Nature Reserve is situated in the Omboroko Mountains, halfway between Windhoek and Etosha National Park. Okonjima (from the Herero word meaning place of the Baboons) is located in the unspoilt beauty of the Omboroko Mountains, near the Waterberg Plateau, about halfway between Windhoek, and Etosha National Park in Namibia. Okonjima Nature Reserve covers 4000 hectares.
Namibia is a vast country and time is needed to see all the wondrous sights of natural beauty. Okonjima is a perfect place to stop before or after a trip to Etosha National Park in the north, a visit to Swakopmund - 'Little Bavaria' - at the coast, a fly-in safari to the orange sand dunes of Sossusvlei or the remote Skeleton Coast.
