Okonjima Highlights

  • Leopards are frequently seen, giving you an opportunity to observe these magnificent predators from a hide or a radio-tracked from the game viewing vehicles. The leopards are monitored daily. Guests can join in as the staff track the leopards within the rehabilitation park or on the leopard trail.
  • The Cheetah project offers valuable insight into the welfare work of the Africat Foundation. Cheetahs within the rehabilitation area can be radio-tracked on foot.
  • The Bushman Trail offers an opportunity for you to experience a day in the life of a Bushman. It constitutes an easy walking trail and is highly informative.
  • You get to learn about the art of making traditional artefacts and how the San adapt and survive in an unforgiving wilderness environment.
