Nestled in the Omboroko Mountains near to the Waterberg Plateau in central Namibia lies Okonjima, home of the Africat Foundation.
This is a rehabilitation centre for large carnivores such as lion, cheetah and leopard and you can witness the Africat Foundation at work. Okonjima is renowned for the excellent opportunities for viewing and photographing these big cats at close quarters and a visit here serves as a fascinating education about their lives and the Foundation’s conservation and rehabilitation practices.
Excursions include:
Cheetah tracking on foot with telemetry equipment to monitor project animals;
Visiting the orphaned cats at the Africat Foundation;
Leopard trails (leopard viewing is not guaranteed);
Guided & self-guided nature trails;
Nocturnal & bird hides that can be visited throughout your stay.
Numerous walking trails cross the property and your guide will give you an excellent insight into the natural splendour of the area. You can head up into the hills to the porcupine caves or out into the veld on one of the Bushman Trails which is a highly informative walk and talk about the lives of the Bushmen, their tools, their trapping methods and their threatened way of life.
Our preferred camps are:
Okonjima Main Camp, Bush Camp, Bush Suite & Villa
