What To Expect
his half day Carnivore Feeding tour at Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary includes the opportunity to see baboons, caracals, lions, cheetahs, wild dogs and leopards. These animals are known as “ambassador animals”, which means they are unable to be released back into the wild for different reasons. This half day tour allows you to watch as the animals are being fed by the experienced guides as well as a chance to get some spectacular photos of these majestic animals. It is followed by a scenic drive that provides a good chance of spotting some of the other wildlife on the reserve. This is not just a great way to learn about these amazing animals and how they behave in the wild, but it is also a great up close photo opportunity.

1.00(1) The tour was advertised with a photo of an ‘inverted safari’ (out of a cage) (they seem to have changed it in the meantime?). This is more than just false advertising - don't fall for it! (2) In fact, it's not even a safari. It's a very, very sad zoo - don't support it too! (3) If you want to support it: It is the Naankuse Bush Camp. The activity costs 55USD. If you book a taxi or shuttle to get there from Windhoek, you can get the day for 80USD (100USD more than the provider here charges). You will also have a more enjoyable experience because ... (4) ... the tour is terribly organised. It starts with the fact that you are picked up 1.5 hours early and then have to wait on site. (5) My guide was very obviously drunk? He didn't understand any questions, his speech was very slurred and delayed and he smelled very dodgy. Paying 100USD too much for this is very sad.

A great way to get up close to the wildlife, friendly pleasant & knowledgeable guides and staff and it is all supporting a good cause for the local people, children and endangered wildlife.
