Windhoek to AfriCat Foundation (Okonjima)

Your guide will pick you up either from the airport or your accommodation. You will take a 3-hour drive to Okonjima Nature Reserve, which is the home of the AfriCat Foundation. Founded in 1993, the AfriCat Foundation is primarily dedicated to the conservation of large carnivores.

The foundation lies on a 22,000-hectare Okonjima Private Game Reserve. We will visit the center and learn more about Namibia’s carnivores, their fight for survival, and the human-wildlife conflict challenges facing both man and carnivore. Both Okonjima and AfriCat are dedicated to creating conservation awareness through environmental education at all ages and levels, rehabilitation and reintroduction programmes, and conducting constructive wildlife research. We get a chance to see the ambassador cheetahs during this tour. We will go for leopard tracking in the afternoon. This reserve is renowned for having the highest density of these elusive cats, hence high chances of encountering one during a game drive.

We will settle in after lunch and embark on an afternoon game drive in a private game viewer. We will enjoy our sundowner drinks before heading back to the lodge for dinner.

Etosha National Park

Today, we have a full-day game drive to explore Etosha National Park. The day will be split into morning and afternoon game drive sessions. This implies we will return to the lodge around midday and enter the park again in the late afternoon. Enjoy the siesta or swimming pool and the tranquility of the lodge.

Besides the 114 mammals found here, 340 bird species are known to occur in Etosha National Park. About a third are migratory, including European bee-eaters and several species of waders. Ten of Etosha’s 35 raptor species are migratory. Those most commonly seen are lappet-faced vulture, white-backed vulture, hooded vulture, and on very rare occasions, Cape, Egyptian and palm-nut vultures have been recorded. There are 8 species of owls. This park is semi-arid; hence, animals depend on contact springs, water level springs, artesian springs and a couple of man-made waterholes for water. We will be visiting these waterholes all day in search of wildlife.

Etosha National Park

Today, we will embark on a walking safari on the private game reserve. We will be accompanied by a local armed field guide as we might approach one of the Big Four mammals in this area. This is a good way of experiencing Mother Nature talking to you, as you will be doing active wildlife tracking on foot, including observations of the inner and finer details of the African bush.

We will have a full breakfast when we return from this activity and have more time to relax at the lodge. You can stay around the main area, with a waterhole frequently visited by elephants in the afternoon and rhinos at night. In the late afternoon, we will embark on our private game drive as we say goodbye to Etosha National Park.
