We meet you at Hosea Kataku Airport, or at your accommodation in Windhoek, then embark on our 300km drive into the Namibian bushveld to Okonjima Nature Reserve. Okonjima Fast Facts INTRODUCTION West of the Waterberg Plateau Park, vast plains are occasionally broken by remnants of ancient sandstone outcrops, which once covered large areas of northern Namibia. Nestled among the Omboroko Mountains, in a Malaria-free area, lies Okonjima – a Herero name meaning “Place of the baboons”. Okonjima is a family-run business. Wayne, Donna and Rosalea Hanssen, who coown and live on the property, bought Okonjima from their parents, Val and Rose, in 1993, and turned the then cattle farm into a conservation project. Okonjima is so much more than simply an African safari lodge. It is also home to The AfriCat Foundation, which was established when Chinga the Cheetah was bought by the Hanssen’s at a cattle auction and given a home on Okonjima. AfriCat became internationally renowned after featuring in an award-winning Discovery Channel documentary filmed in 1995 and 1996. AfriCat and Okonjima have dedicated their efforts to rescuing carnivores from inhumane conditions, taking care of those that are too injured to be set free, and have rehabilitated and released more than 1 080 large carnivores since 1993. Today, AfriCat’s emphasis lies with ensuring the long-term survival of Namibia’s large carnivore species through environmental education, research and by mitigating human-wildlife conflict. In this way, AfriCat contributes to habitat and wildlife conservation, as well as uplifting affected farming communities. Namibia is home to the world’s largest wild and free-roaming cheetah population. Due to commercial farming and urbanisation encroaching on wild habitats, cheetahs and leopards often roam on the 7 000-odd commercial farms found in the country. These large carnivores occasionally prey on the livestock and are trapped and sometimes killed by the livestock and game farming community. Okonjima Fast Facts AfriCat is also a safe refuge for the large number of captive cats and carnivores that are no longer wanted by other establishments. Cheetah, leopard, lion, caracal, wild dog and hyaena are rescued, researched and rehabilitated by AfriCat. The pressure on our wildlife grows daily. Where can one find a truly wild place, where the elephant can roam, the lion roar, and the cheetah hunt freely with no threat from humans? Through education and human-wildlife conflict mitigation, The AfriCat Foundation believes that little by little the battle can be won.
