Windhoek to AfriCat Foundation (Okonjima)
Your Guide will pick you up either from the airport or 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 conservation of large carnivores. The Foundation lies on a 22000-hectare Okonjima Private Game Reserve. We will visit the center and learn more about Namibia’s carnivores and their fight for survival and the Human-Wildlife Conflict challenges that face 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 conducts 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.

Etosha National Park
Today we have a full day game drive to explore the Etosha National Park. The day will be split into morning and afternoon game drive sessions. This implies we will be back at the lodge around mid-day and go back into the park 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-eater, and several species of waders. Ten of Etosha’s 35 raptor species are migratory. Those mostly commonly seen are Lappet-faced Vulture, White-backed Vulture, Hooded Vulture, and on very rare occasion, Cape, Egyptian and Palm-nut Vultures have been recorded. 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.
