Okonjima Nature Reserve, located in Namibia, is a world-renowned conservation sanctuary best known for its work with cheetahs and leopards through the AfriCat Foundation. It is generally accessible by self-drive (4x4 recommended for some internal roads, though main roads are good) or transfers can be arranged. Visits are primarily guided, as guests stay at lodges within the reserve and participate in scheduled activities like tracking big cats, visiting the nocturnal mammal hide, or exploring the Bushman trail; solo exploration is limited for safety and conservation reasons. While open year-round, the dry season (May to October) offers excellent wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources, though the wet season (November to April) brings lush landscapes and migratory birds. Costs are on the higher side, reflecting the inclusive lodge experience and conservation efforts, typically ranging from $300-$800+ per person per night depending on the lodge type. A typical visit duration is 2-3 nights to fully experience the activities and allow for multiple wildlife sightings. Useful insights include booking well in advance, especially during peak season, and being prepared for early morning starts and evening activities. This visit offers a unique opportunity to learn about wildlife conservation firsthand.
