About

A fenced private reserve between Windhoek and Etosha, home of the AfriCat Foundation, with several camps (Plains Camp, Luxury Bush Camp, villas and campsites). Guests track radio-collared wild leopards with telemetry alongside AfriCat research, and can also join pangolin, rhino and brown hyena tracking and night drives, making it a reliable place to photograph leopards.
