We offer lion feeds after the dinner at the Main Lodge, where you will have the opportunity to observe the cats feeding from a close distance. Due to our black Rhino Breeding Program in conjunction with the Namibian Government, the lions are kept on a large separate portion of the game sanctuary, mainly by feeding them at a specific spot. This minimizes predation on black rhino calves and other rare species roaming the Sanctuary.
Game Walks are offered as well as walks to the famous Dinosaur Footprints, dating back to 230 Million years, described as Saurichnians. Four different tracks have been found, however too little evidence has as yet been found to confirm the exact species. For shorter walks, participate on the guided walks to the fossilised Buffalo Tracks, which give the sanctuary it’s name Okonjati.
Specially guided game drives will take you to our Rare Species Game Sanctuary, an area of 4000 Hectares, which offers a protected refuge for the indigenous Black-faced Impala, the Roan and Sable Antelope, Red Lechwe and Bushbuck and others.
