CONSERVATION & COMMUNITY

AfriCat Foundation
A care and information centre for predators, many of which are too old or habituated to humans to be released into the wild

Large carnivore ecology in enclosed reserves
Studying the effects of keeping cheetah, leopard and brown hyena among other predators within fenced areas to see the impacts on their home ranges, territories and breeding via VHS telemetry, GPS collars and camera traps

Leopard density study
Monitoring the leopard population within Okonjima Nature Reserve

Pangolin conservation
Researching the spatial ecology, diet and habitat preferences of the world’s most highly trafficked animal

Aardvark climate change research
During drought, ant and termite populations decrease so aardvarks change their behaviour in response to a reduced diet, making them vulnerable to predation

OVERVIEW

If you love big cats, then you will love your time at Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp in the Okonjima Nature Reserve as it is home to the AfriCat Foundation. Not only is this the place in Namibia where you’re most likely to see leopard in the wild, it is also a research hub for cheetah and brown hyena, shy and hard-to-find species. Conservation is an important part of the Okonjima experience and highly endangered pangolin and aardvark are also closely monitored.

The camp has very well-spaced chalets and suites, all with lovely views of the surrounding bush and special feeders to attract indigenous birds to your accommodation. The waterhole holds the promise of plenty of animal action, especially for photographers.
