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.

The visit to Na'an kuse preservation sanctuary was really worthwhile. This non-profit organization has funded numerous efforts to protect the essence of Namibia. The tour operator showed up on time and their transport was fine. Our guide from the Preserve was very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. We learned a lot about the various predators in the Namibian outback and especially enjoyed the encounters with the leopards. Overall, if you want to see these magnificent animals up close this is a great excursion.

I liked the experience and the guides were great, but the machine they use to cut the meat for the animals was broken and they didn't tell us until the tour had already started. The whole point of buying a "Carnivore Feeding" experience (because it's literally its name) is to see the animals being fed, and we didn't. Plus, I would've expected they took that into consideration to offer something complimentary as a compensation, but that wasn't the case either. Also, I think they should change the picture representing the experience, because there are no lions to be seen at the moment. Even though I believe that's a good thing, since the animals they have at the reserve were rescued from vulnerability situations (so, good to learn there haven't been endangered lions in the area so far), I also believe people expect to see whatever is shown in the picture, which is supposed to represent what you will see during the experience. There are a lot of other amazing animals that could make the cut for that picture.

(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.

The carnivore feeding experience was a fantastic way to spend the day. If you are in or around Windhoek and have a spare morning I would highly recommend taking this tour. 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.
