Frequently Asked Questions

We're considering Weaver's Rock Guest Farm for a relaxing break after a busy safari. Is the spa truly worth it, or is it just an add-on?

We absolutely love the spa at Weaver's Rock. It's not just an add-on; it's a destination in itself. After days exploring Okonjima, sinking into a massage while listening to the African bush sounds is pure bliss. We highly recommend booking treatments in advance, especially the signature Namibian marula oil massage.

We've heard Okonjima is fantastic for cheetahs and wild dogs. What are our chances of seeing these specific animals when staying at Weaver's Rock?

Staying at Weaver's Rock puts you on the doorstep of Okonjima's incredible rehabilitation programs. While sightings are never guaranteed, we've had consistently excellent luck spotting cheetahs and wild dogs on guided drives from the guest farm. The rangers know the best times and locations, and the sheer density of these animals in the reserve is remarkable.

What's the best time of year to visit Weaver's Rock Guest Farm if our priority is comfortable wildlife viewing and pleasant weather?

For us, the sweet spot is during the cooler dry season, from May to October. The daytime temperatures are wonderfully mild, perfect for exploring Okonjima, and the reduced vegetation makes spotting wildlife much easier. Evenings can get chilly, so pack layers, but the dry air is generally very pleasant.

We're a bit concerned about safety in remote areas. How secure is Weaver's Rock Guest Farm, and what precautions should we take?

We've always felt completely at ease at Weaver's Rock. The guest farm is well-managed and secure, and the staff are vigilant. During guided activities in Okonjima, always follow your guide's instructions, especially regarding wildlife proximity. Namibia is generally a safe country for tourists, and this lodge upholds those standards.

Beyond the Okonjima activities, what can we expect in terms of the atmosphere and amenities at Weaver's Rock itself?

Weaver's Rock feels like a luxurious and timeless country escape. Expect beautifully appointed rooms, delicious home-cooked meals often served under the stars, and a genuinely warm welcome. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a book on your private veranda or enjoy a sundowner overlooking the vast Namibian landscape. The tranquility here is profound.
