The villa has two separate, private suites, together with a ‘main house’ which contains two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. This whole ‘villa’ is kept for the exclusive use of one group – and can accommodate up to eight adults.
The lovely main house has two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms, which have indoor and outdoor showers, and a bath with a very special view. Plus a large lounge and dining area, complete with an open, wood-burning fireplace. The modern kitchen has wine and soft drink coolers, gas and electric cookers, and a large refrigerator.
Outside is a stunning infinity swimming pool, surrounded on three sides by wooden decking, and a walkway to an open, shaded ‘sala’ – which has a roof fan for the days when the air is still!
The two separate and very stylish thatched suites each stand about 40–50m from the main house; one on each side. They have air-conditioning, high airy roofs with fans and heating, for the cooler months.
Large, glass-panelled folding doors look out onto spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding area, and these open doorways roll-down canvas gauze screens. Each an internet connection, work spaceand a well-stocked mini bar. The en suite bathroom has inside or outdoor bush-shower – with a view, of course.
A personal host(ess) and chef run the villa, and there’s a dedicated guide and 4WD to ensure exclusive activities here – which follow the same patterns that Okonjima follows. So you can walk around the ranch on your own, hop on a guided 4WD, or follow a trail with one of your hosts, who will illustrate the lifestyle of some of the region’s original peoples. A night hide helps enormously in spotting elusive nocturnal animals, like honey badger and porcupine.
