Okonjima Nature Reserve, Wildlife sanctuary in Central Highlands, Namibia
The reserve spans 220 square kilometers at the base of Omboroko Mountains, featuring acacia thornveld vegetation and supporting numerous species of African wildlife.
The land transformed from a German military rest site in the 1800s to a cattle farm, before becoming a nature reserve in the 1990s.
The AfriCat Foundation operates within the reserve, implementing educational programs about carnivore conservation and local wildlife management techniques.
Visitors can select accommodations from Plains Camp, Bush Camp, Villa, or Bush Suite, each providing direct access to guided wildlife tracking activities.
The reserve maintains radio-collared leopards and cheetahs for research purposes, leading to frequent sightings during guided tracking expeditions.
