Okonjima Lodge is the home of the Africat project which is based about two and a half hours drive, or a forty five minute light aircraft flight north of Windhoek in the heart of Namibia.
Africat has been running for twenty years and in that time has done invaluable work protecting the lives of leopard and cheetah throughout Namibia. These beautiful cats are often seen as a threat or nuisance by Namibian farmers who often shoot, trap or poison them. Staff from Okonjima visit farmers throughout the country when they learn that a leopard or a cheetah is causing a problem and work with the farmer to rescue and relocate the animal, or if it has been injured they take it to their headquarters and nurse it back to health.
This veterinary and education project has led to literally hundreds of these beautiful cats being protected. At any time several dozen are located on the Okonjima Reserve and you will have a unique opportunity to see them and learn of the work of the project.
Okonjima Bush Lodge is a luxurious lodge accommodating guests in beautifully designed thatched cottages, each with proper beds, safari furniture and en-suite w.c and shower. The lodge has a pool and dining lodge and in addition to seeing the work of the project, you can enjoy walking and open vehicle safaris where you can go bird watching, see smaller wildlife and learn about desert adapted plant life. This is a relaxing and interesting place to stay and one which gives you a valuable insight into the practicalities of conservation in this unique African country.
