Okapuka Game Ranch: Okapuka Game Ranch is a private game reserve 30 kilometres north of Windhoek. The lodge has comfortable rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, a private patio, a mini bar, and complimentary tea and coffee. And further boasts a good restaurant, an exceptional wine cellar, a swimming pool and a landscaped garden.
Okapuka, whose name aptly means "small animal" in the local Herero language, lives up to its promise from the moment guests arrive. The lodge is a serene oasis of lush green lawns set against the backdrop of the majestic Otjihavera mountain range. From the private veranda of a cosy, thatched-roof chalet, guests can enjoy the peaceful sight of warthogs and various antelope species grazing nearby, offering a unique, close-up encounter with nature that embodies the tranquillity of the bush.
The primary draw for many visitors is the exceptional wildlife viewing. Guided game drives, conducted in open safari vehicles by knowledgeable rangers, offer the chance to spot a diverse array of animals. The ranch is home to numerous species, including giraffes, zebras, sable antelopes, and ostriches. A particular highlight for many is the opportunity to see the majestic white rhino in a secure environment. For those with more time, the ranch also offers mountain drives, lion feeding sessions, and guided walks, ensuring a rich and varied experience.
Beyond the call of the wild, Okapuka Safari Lodge ensures a comfortable and welcoming stay. The lodge features well-appointed rooms with en-suite bathrooms and air-conditioning, an on-site restaurant serving local and international cuisine (the steaks are particularly renowned), and two outdoor swimming pools perfect for a refreshing dip after a game drive. The attentive and friendly staff, along with thoughtful touches like afternoon tea, contribute to a memorable and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for families and couples alike.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a photographer, or simply in need of a tranquil escape, Okapuka Game Ranch offers a quintessential African experience on the doorstep of Namibia's capital.
