Title:

Waterberg Plateau Park

Abstract:

Over 150 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the plateau at Waterberg. Now you can too, and discover the amazing variety of plant and animal life that thrives here today. Rising some 200 metres above the surrounding African savannah, the Waterberg Plateau with its brilliant brick-red sandstone formations and lush green vegetation is a wonderous place to explore. Take on the challenge of a three-day hike, accompanied by a park ranger, to the Waterberg's summit, or the thrill of setting out on you nown 42-km self-guided trail. Catch a glimpse of an illusive leopard or patiently stalk a herd of sable through the dense bush. Visit the Vulture Restaurant, a conservation effort designed to attract hundreds of vultures, including Cape vultures, where they feast. Guided game drives on the plateau, plus time spent in a hide lying in wait for rare species to approach a waterhole, give you the chance to learn more about one of the most unique conservation areas in the world.
