Leopard filled reserve that's big on conservation
Settled at the base of the Omboroko Mountains, Okonjima Nature Reserve offers you vast plains filled with leopard, giraffe and antelope and the opportunity to discover how conservation has restored this reserve to its natural wild beauty.
Wake before the first glints of golden sunlight paint the bush gold and head out from your luxury safari lodge on exhilarating game drives and nature trails. You’ll have the chance to track big cats that have been rehabilitated by the AfriCat foundation. Carefully monitoring and supporting leopards, wild dogs and hyenas, this foundation provides unique opportunities to learn about their important development work, including successfully introducing new cubs into the wild. Seeing the results of the work in action is a moving experience and one you’ll carry with you long after you return home. As the sun dips below the horizon and the skies are transformed into a spectacular canvas of colours, enjoy the quintessential sundowner experience, listening to the sounds of the bush.
The bird watching in Okonjima is also first class, with a wide variety of species waiting for eagle-eyed spotters to find them, so keep the binoculars and your camera handy. Your time here not only offers you scenic photography and the chance to get up close to exciting creatures like honey badgers and oryx, it also supports the future of Namibia‘s people and wildlife.
