Olonjima Leopard Tracking

Our Leopard “experience” takes you deep into the Okonjima Nature Reserve, where you’ll have the opportunity to spend extended time with our experienced guides, focusing on finding the leopard. During this adventure, you’ll also become part of our research efforts, contributing to our ongoing leopard project and brown hyaena project. Several of our adult leopards, accounting for approximately 40% to 43% of the 35+ leopards positively identified in the ONR, are fitted with radio collars.

These collars enable our guides to monitor their movements using specialized telemetry devices. AfriCat has one of the longest-running leopard monitoring projects in Namibia. This significantly increases the likelihood of guests spotting these magnificent predators in their natural habitat during a one- or two-day visit to Okonjima. You’ll get to witness their captivating behavior and interactions, especially when they compete for food. However, please keep in mind that even with these advantages, encounters with these wild, free-roaming predators can never be guaranteed.
