Excursion Overview
The AfriCat Foundation threw open its gates to day trippers for the first time in August 2012. Visitors passing through the area can now meet the big cats and predators rehabilitated by AfriCat, gaining a wider sense of the conservation work being carried out on the private Okonjima Reserve. There will be two set departures per day, one in the late morning and one in the early afternoon, with children four and older allowed to participate.
The trip includes a drive to the AfriCat Carnivore Care centre, where a guide will answer any questions you have about the foundation or the animals themselves. You will get up close and personal with some of the resident animals (mainly cheetahs) and have ample opportunity to get that potentially award winning predator photograph! A light packed lunch will also be served, as visitors enjoy the communal experience of eating together and discussing all aspects of the day's experience.

We have just returned from an amazing 3 weeks in Namibia. What a beautiful country - the scenery is breathtaking and so varied. Wildlife truly amazing, the people so friendly and the food and wine far too good !! Kirsty gave us such good ideas based on her personal experience. From the first iteration she took us through different options (very patiently !) until we came to one that matched our wishes perfectly. Her suggestions of where do stay were spot on and we enjoyed some fantastic locations. The organisation of cars, outings and the brilliant detailed itinerary made the whole trip so relaxed. When (not if !) we return to Namibia we will be back in touch with Kirsty. A very big thank you to her and all the support team in Namibia for making this our best ever holiday.

This was our first time using Holiday Architects and I really can't recommend them highly enough! We had an amazing trip to Namibia which felt like it had been tailor-made for us. Kirsty was so helpful in listening to our outline plans and set up a wonderful intinerary for us. The coordination between HA and their local agents felt like it was seamless, we had so much local information and support if needed while we were away. The whole experience was just fabulous, Namibia is just so beautiful and each place we stayed seemed to have unique qualities. I really can't thank HA (and particularly Kirsty) enough for their attention to detail and customer care.
