Fly-Inn & Luxury Safari
Day 1: Windhoek – Okonjima
Upon arrival, our guide will take you to the welcoming lounge from which a briefing about your safari will be given, while you are enjoying your welcoming drink. Shortly afterward, you will be in the company of your pilot who will fly you from Windhoek to your first stop, Okonjima. Okonjima is a non-profit organizational reserve that has been established primarily for the preservation and conservation of big cats, mostly cheetahs. Since the reserve is amongst commercial farms, cheetahs were often found strapped and killed by the farmers due to the conflict of interests between humans and animals. This has prompted conservationists to come up with the idea of preserving these precious animals by providing education and other methods of protecting their livestock to the farmers. Upon landing, your private driver will be waiting for you and will transfer you to the luxury Bushcamp within the Okonjima reserve. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a private PM game drive and get the chance to see the abundance of flora and fauna that this reserve contains. Accommodation at Luxury Bush Lodge or similar is fully inclusive.
