Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) – Get up Close to a Cheetah!

Namibia is home to the largest free roaming population of cheetah in the world! The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) was started in 1990 and is the global leader in research and conservation of cheetahs. CCF is an international non-profit organization and is totally dedicated to saving the cheetah in the wild. Thanks to its founder, Dr. Laurie Marker, the attitudes and perceptions of farmers and land owners in Namibia towards these graceful big cats has changed considerably over the years resulting in the population of these cats to grow and thrive. Farmers are taught about methods to conserve biodiversity and about the role of the cheetah and other predators in healthy ecosystems. This has resulted in more than half of the 900 cheetahs that CCF has worked with being successfully released back into the wild. However there are always injured and orphaned cheetahs that cannot survive on their own in the wild bush and CCF provide these resident cats with a large and peaceful reserve for them to live as close to possible to how they would in the wild. Cheetah Conservation Fund Location The CCF is located just outside of Otjiwarongo in Northern Namibia and is conveniently position between the capital city of Windhoek and Etosha National Park. Visitors are welcome to visit the CCF Field Research and Education Center and partake in some of daily activities available. In fact a visit to CCF is highly recommended and is a highlight for many travelers to Namibia. The activities for visitors to CCF include Guided tours around the Centre and Cheetah Museum, Cheetah Drives, Cheetah runs, Cheetah feeding and game drives. Families particularly enjoy visiting the centre as it allows young children to get really close to a cheetah which would normally not be possible out in the wild. CCF also have a children’s educational playground where kids complete a range of activities which are designed to demonstrate cheetah physiology and environmental issues – children are shown that learning can be fun! Cheetah Feeding Times Feeding times at CCF brings much excitement not only for the cheetahs but visitors too! Visitors to CCF get to experience and watch some of the orphaned cheetahs getting fed (remember feeding times are at 2 PM during the week and at 12 PM on weekends). The Cheetah Safari Drive allows visitors to get close up to these graceful cats. The Cheetah Run enables visitors to experience the incredible speed that these animals can achieve. The Cheetah’s long-legged and slender body is built for speed – they are known to reach speeds of up to 113 km/h (70 mph). They use their long tails in a similar manner to a rudder on a boat – this assists them to turn and steer in the direction they want to go which is especially helpful when hunting their prey. Cheetahs can also be viewed in their natural habitat in CCF’s Bellebenno Reserve which offers excellent viewing and photo opportunities. Enjoy a private safari through CCF’s own...

Essential Tips When Travelling in Namibia

Travelling in an unfamiliar country can be daunting, so it pays to be aware of any information and handy tips that may be of use. Namibia, a beautiful country with a stunning Atlantic Ocean coastline and some wonderful features, may seem alien in many ways to first time visitors, so Book Namibia has put together a handy information resource covering everything you need to know about visiting this amazing place. We cover all areas from currency to climate, and rest assured, this quite glorious country is inherently safe and welcomes visitors. One area of concern to tourists visiting Africa is that of health; malaria is a problem in some African countries, but apart from some areas in the north, Namibia is free of malaria. It is, however, advisable to ensure you have medical insurance, and that you have taken any recommended pre-emptive injections before visiting. In the towns and cities, and in most accommodation, tap water is safe to drink – if not, it will be indicated – although thanks to the hot weather it is strongly advised that, when travelling, you take bottled water with you in sufficient quantities.

Explore Namibia’s Mysterious Past

If you are looking for reasons why you should choose Namibia as your African destination we can offer you many; the stunning unspoilt landscape of the Namib Desert, the wonderful weather, the friendly locals and a choice of amazing accommodation are a few, but at Book Namibia we like to go that extra mile and show you something fresh and unique. The history of Namibia is an interesting and varied tale of ups and downs, and nothing illustrates this as well as the rise and fall of the diamond mines. At Kolmanskop, a desert dwelling that now lies abandoned and decaying, you can take an exciting Ghost Town tour through what was once a thriving mining community, and learn about the turbulent times experienced here in a seemingly uninhabitable spot in the desert. It’s a fascinating experience that gives you a real glimpse of what life must have been like for those prospectors during the diamond rush, and allows you to experience a world that has long been forgotten. With daily tours of this fascinating place – and the chance to enjoy a drink in The Tavern at the end of the tour – we can strongly recommend it.
