Activities and Excursions

• •LEOPARD VIEWING: Leopards are frequently seen, giving visitors an opportunity to observe these magnificent predators from a hide, or ‘radio-tracked’ from the game-viewing vehicles. The leopards roam freely and catch their own prey within the 4500 ha rehabilitation area. These cats however, are notoriously people-shy and sightings are not guaranteed.
• THE CHEETAH PROJECT: Offers visitors a valuable insight into the welfare work of The AfriCat Foundation.
• LARGE CARNIVORE TRACKING ON FOOT: Visitors are invited to participate on foot in the radio-tracking of the rehabilitated cheetahs (if available) or the Spotted Hyena on the Tracking Trail. (Tracking Cheetahs - this activity is only possible if rehabilitated cheetahs are roaming freely in the park and need monitoring on a daily basis)
• BUSHMAN TRAIL: Experience a day in the life of a Bushman. It constitutes an easy walking trail and is highly informative. Guests get to learn about the art of making traditional artefacts and how the San adapt and survive in an unforgiving wilderness environment. Participation is welcomed!
• NATURE TRAIL: Self-guided walking trails of up to 8 km, for those guests who want to spend some time alone in the solitude of the Okonjima wilderness.
• BIRD WATCHING: Identify some of the more than 250+ species in the area, including some of the Namibian endemics – Carp’s Black Tit, Hartlaub’s Francolin and the Damara Rock Runner.
• NOCTURNAL ANIMALS: At the nocturnal hide visitors may view after-dinner ’Nightlife’ such as porcupine, honey-badgers and caracal, amongst others.
