An afternoon in the bushveld beneath the mountains
Only about 30 minutes from central Windhoek, Okapuka Ranch protects some 7,300 hectares of highland savannah beneath a dramatic mountain range. It is the quickest way to see Namibian wildlife without leaving the capital for days, and a perfect fit for an arrival day, a layover or the final morning or afternoon of a longer trip.
What you may see
The ranch is best known for its white rhino, and you can also expect giraffe, ostrich, warthog and a wide range of antelope such as oryx, kudu, eland, springbok and hartebeest. Sightings always depend on nature on the day, but your guide knows the ranch well and shares stories of the animals, plants and landscape along the way.
Why go in the afternoon
Ideal after a morning flight or a relaxed start. As the day softens, light warms across the grassland and mountains, and wildlife gathers at waterholes.
Good to know
Small groups of up to four guests. Pickup is from accommodation in Windhoek; please share your hotel name when booking. Bring a hat, sunscreen and a light jacket, as highland temperatures change quickly.
