Okapuka Game Ranch, located 30 km north of Windhoek on A1 highway to Okahandja, has recently entered a joint venture with Gondwana Collection Namibia.
Okapuka will be part of Gondwana's portfolio from 1 November 2022 under the name Okapuka Safari Lodge.
According to a statement: “A collaboration between Gondwana and Okapuka will mean starting a new chapter for both companies, where the authentic savannah bushveld, with a well-established game lodge on Windhoek's doorstep, will join Gondwana's long-established customer base and footprint in the tourism market”.
The new joint venture is an undertaking comprising equal shareholders between Klein Okapuka CC and Gondwana Collection Namibia (Pty) Ltd in terms of management only.
The Okapuka Lodge was originally opened in 1998 and has since become a local and internationally renowned mainstay in the Namibian tourism industry. It was always known for its spectacular game drives, just 30 minutes outside Windhoek's city centre, yet deep enough into the African savanna to enjoy a true African safari experience.
Okapuka Hospitality Management (Pty) Ltd is planning an extensive revamp of the lodge premises, which will only be the first step in giving this classic safari lodge a new lease on life.
Renovations are scheduled to start in October, and Gondwana Collection Namibia will be taking bookings from 1 November. The first guests will be welcomed to the lodge in April next year, where they will encounter a classic safari lodge.
