Leopard tracking
Ask about the current guided tracking programme. Some monitoring uses research methods that help guides locate animals, but a wild sighting is never a promise.
Wildlife, tracking and the work behind it.
Okonjima
Okonjima can give the journey a focused final chapter, with time to learn about carnivore conservation and explore the reserve through the activities offered to overnight guests.

How it fitsBetween Windhoek and Etosha
What draws usA guest-only private reserve
Make it a stay, not a passing stop
We plan Okonjima around an overnight booking and the activities available with it. Confirm the reserve’s current arrangements rather than expecting a day visit. One or two nights can work between Etosha and Windhoek, depending on the rest of your route.
Ask what the activity involves
Tracking, conservation learning and other outings have their own formats and requirements. We’ll establish what is offered for your dates and group. Wildlife remains unpredictable, even when an activity has a particular focus.
Places and experiences
More than one species
Available experiences may include other tracking, guided walks and research-focused visits. Choose from the current programme when your stay is confirmed.
A considered final stop
The reserve can fit between Etosha and Windhoek. Two nights leave more space for activities than a single late arrival and early departure.

When and how to visit
Choose the base
We match the location of your stay to the activities and the next stage of your journey.

How long should we stay?
1–2 nights is a useful starting point. Add time if the activities here are a priority, or simplify the wider route rather than rushing the stay.
Can this fit a self-drive trip?
We can explore self-drive and privately guided options. Specialist activities use their own guides and arrangements.
What happens next?
Tell us your dates and the rest of your route. We will work through the stay, the travel day on either side and the experiences you want to include.
