Namibia: Renovation works for Okapuka Safari Lodge | Окапука Намибия

Bookings and Renovation Works for Okapuka Safari Lodge kick off

The Lodge is currently closed due to renovation works and will reopen in April 2023. However, bookings are being accepted.

Experience Africa’s wild side at the doorstep of Namibia’s capital Windhoek, just a 30 minute drive from the center of town. Surrounded by a 7300 ha living escape of prime African savannah, Okapuka Safari Lodge is an oasis of lush green lawns under ancient camel thorn trees against the backdrop of a towering mountain range. Enjoy the peace and quiet from the verandah of your cosy holiday home watching an array of warthogs passing by accompanied by antelopes, peacefully grazing side by side.

Okapuka, meaning “small animal” in Herero lives up to its name already at first glance. The iconic game drive, however, will take your breath away as you might encounter most of Namibia’s beautiful and diverse wildlife right here. Just out of town yet deep in the African bushveld, you are almost guaranteed sightings of all indigenous antelope species, giraffe, ostriches and, most importantly, white rhino.

Gondwana Collection Namibia took over the management of Okapuka Safari Lodge on 1 November 2022 and is now accepting bookings. However, guests will only be welcomed from 2 April 2023. Until then, the popular and well-known lodge at Windhoek’s doorstep will undergo a comprehensive facelift.

The thatch roofs are being serviced, and the main area will be opened up for an airier and lighter look. As soon as the first thatch roof of Classic Safari Room is completed, the interior of a sample room will be designed. We will share the first images with you as soon as they are available!

The former Okapuka Game Ranch was opened in 1998 and has since become a renowned accommodation establishment in the Namibian Tourism industry. It is known for its spectacular game drives, just 30 minutes outside Windhoek’s city centre, yet deep enough into the African Bushveld to enjoy a true Safari experience.

The extensive revamp of the Lodge premises is the first step in giving this Classic Safari Lodge a new lease on life. Join us on a nostalgic journey of yesteryear’s travel of your best childhood memories from 2 April 2023.

Namibia: Liebig ghost house near Windhoek - full photo gallery | Дом с привидениями в Намибии

Liebig House - Namibia's ghost house near Windhoek | Дом с привидениями в Намибии

Liebig House | Neu-Heusis is located around 15 kilmeters past Daan Viljoen Game Park near Windhoek, Namibia. This large delapidated building is visible from the road but can not be visited by members of the public as it is a private property. The Liebig House is a reminder of the early colonial history of Namibia. The house was originally built in 1912-13 to accommodate the farm managers of the Karl Liebig Company, specialised in cattle breeding. The Liebig Company owned most of the commercial farming land in the Kuiseb River basin upper catchment and was formed in 1907 by the Deutsche Farmgesellschaft of South-West Africa. Liebig Co bought large areas of land on a nationwide scale - in order to establish a cattle farming and meat processing industry in the country. In 1939, the South African Government bought the land from the Liebig Company. It is not clear when the house was finally abandoned and what is its current fate, some sources suggest it was in 1955.
The large windows of the house provide beautiful panoramic views across the veld, whilst a deep rocky river gorge bisected by an old dam can be found a short walk away from the house.
