Participate in radio-tracking of Cheetahs on foot and take a look at the Cheetah Project to see the Africat Foundation researchers at work with these animals during your Namibia safari near Waterberg Plateau. Watch Leopard from the safety of a hide or a safari vehicle and track them by signals from their radio collars.

There are guided and self-guided walking trails, and a Bushman (San people) trail to experience a day in the life of the original hunter-gatherer. Birding on foot or from a spacious viewing hide allow you to spot some of the 300 indigenous species in the area. Night game watching brings to light Porcupines and other nocturnal creatures.

One Night at Okonjima, near Waterberg Plateau, Namibia:

After afternoon coffee, tea and cake, radio-track Leopards from the game-viewing vehicles. The Leopards roam freely and catch their own prey within the 4000 hectare rehabilitation area. After dinner join everyone at the nocturnal hide where you may view Nightlife such as porcupine, honeybadgers and caracal, amongst others. The following morning, visit The Cheetah Project, which will offer you valuable insight into the welfare work of The AfriCat Foundation.
