Company profile

The AfriCat Foundation company profile

The AfriCat Foundation runs carnivore conservation, research, and education programs linked to a private nature reserve. The organization rescues, rehabilitates, and when possible releases cheetah, leopard, and other carnivores, while providing lifetime care for animals not suited for release. Field teams track and monitor wildlife, gather ecological data, and support conflict mitigation with farmers through practical advice and outreach. The education program hosts learners and educators for camps and classroom sessions on coexistence and conservation. Scientific projects at the reserve use radio-collars, camera traps, and long-term studies to inform management decisions. Okonjima’s hospitality operations and guided activities channel revenue and visitor participation into AfriCat’s work and monitoring costs. Partnerships with researchers, veterinarians, and authorities maintain animal welfare standards across rescue, release, and ongoing care.
