The spectacular Waterberg Mountains are a wild and inspiring 150 km range carved by rivers. At the heart of this range is the isolated Marakele National Park which is home to many species of large game including elephants and rhino. For birders, it's also home to 800 pairs of the endangered Cape Vulture.
Get here in 5 hours from Johannesburg or stop off en-route to the Madikwe Reserve. Whatever your reason for being here, come by 4x4 as the best routes through the mountainous territory are on tracks which quickly feel like wilderness once inside the park gates.
