Okonjima is so much more than just a luxury lodge. It is also home to
the AfriCat Foundation, which is committed to researching and
rehabilitating Namibia’s threatened wild cat population. Okonjima is known for its rehabilitation and reserch centre, and is part of the Africat Project; over 40 cheetah are currently being monitored in the camp, so you'll have the chance to learn a bit about these beautiful big cats and what Okonjima is doing about their conservation.
In the evenings you can visit the night hide and observe nocturnal animals, such as honey badger and porcupine. For the energetic early-risers, guided mountain and sunrise walks are offered.
