À vivre

The Hoanib region, situated between Damaraland and Kaokoland, offers a wealth of activities for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. Known primarily for its desert elephants, this semi-arid area is best discovered through 4x4 safaris accompanied by experienced guides. These excursions allow you to observe not only elephants, but also oryx, springbok, mountain zebras and giraffes, as well as carnivores such as lions and hyenas.
Walking safaris, led by local trackers, offer a more intimate and immersive experience, allowing you to follow animal tracks and learn more about their behaviour and adaptation to this harsh environment. Birdwatching enthusiasts, meanwhile, can observe a rich diversity of bird species.
Finally, the unique Hoanib landscape, alternating dry riverbeds, rocky hills and desert plains, provides an ideal setting for photography and photographic safaris, offering spectacular views at every turn.

Cheetahs of Okonjima

On the trail of the cheetah at Okonjima

Okonjima Nature Reserve is arguably the most memorable place in the world to observe cheetahs. Tracking the fastest land animal in the animal kingdom is usually done by vehicle, then on foot. You'll typically find it resting in the shade of an acacia or, with a bit of luck, setting off on a hunt.
