4. The AfriCat - Okonjima
Relationship
From this moment on, The AfriCat Foundation functioned as a separate
entity to Okonjima Lodge, although AfriCat remains based on Okonjima
farm:
- All carnivore work on Okonjima takes place under the auspices
of AfriCat
- Guests were now able to see cheetahs and leopards in the care
of AfriCat and were able to learn
about their natural history as well as the '‘Namibian story'
- Concerned guests pledged donations, which supported AfriCat’s work and allowed its development from animal welfare to
a fully fledged conservation organisation
- Okonjima still pays monthly royalties to AfriCat and every
tourist staying on Okonjima automatically becomes a donor through
their accommodation fee
- The two organisations are marketed together, Okonjima being
"The Home of the AfriCat Foundation"
