AfriCat and Okonjima Namibia

The AfriCat Foundation was founded in 1991 and officially registered as a non-profit organisation in August 1993. AfriCat has grown significantly since then and what started out primarily as an animal welfare organisation has over the years, identified the need to include a focus on education and research as being essential to our mission – the long-term conservation of large carnivores in Namibia. We concentrate on four objectives in working towards our mission:• To create awareness and promote the tolerance of large carnivores among the farming communities by assisting farmers in effective farm management techniques, including targeting problem predators as opposed to indiscriminate removal• To educate youth about large carnivores and environmental awareness• To research large carnivores, particularly cheetahs and leopards, on farmland and in captivity• To provide humane shelter, treatment and care for orphaned and injured animalsOKONJIMA is the home of the AfriCat Foundation and is committed to long-term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores. We are situated halfway between Windhoek and Etosha National Park. Over a 1070 predators have been saved since 1993! 86% have been released back into the wild. OKONJIMA offers:• 5 different CAMPS / ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES: o The Grand African House - The Villao The Exclusive Bush Suiteo The Luxury Bush Campo The Homestead – Main Campo The Private Campsite – The OmborokoAFRICAT North (previously Afri-Leo Foundation) supports Carnivore Conservation & Communities through Environmental Education, Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution and Research.
