Okonjima, the AfriCat-Projet - Cats, which are being “not-welcomed” at farms are - if the cats are  lucky - caught a brougt to Okinjima. If they are small they are being brought up and later released  into areas where they have a future - inside of Namibia or outside. This happens in Okinjima. May  fell like a Zoo at times - so it’s not a real Safari one would say but certainly a good project and good for those who love to encounter the cats very close and with a certain gurantee. This is because  leopards are carrying radio transmitters which makes it easier to find them (if they are not in the  thicket). We felt like it is strange that the guids keep on telling tourist that they try to avoid human contact  and that the animals are meant to be wilde. Having said that he the guide did try to attract the Cats by talking to them and making them somewhat moving. We feel like this is not the optimal way of  treating wildlife.
