Lush trees amidst savannah
 The Waterberg Park is located 280 km to the north of Windhoek. The mountain that bears its name comes from the springs that surfaces on its lower slopes. The lush vegetation that grows here contrasts sharply with the thorn savannah of the surrounding plains. The plateau itself is one of the most interesting geological sites in Namibia. Dinosaur tracks and petrified dunes make it almost a must stop for travellers heading north.
One reason for creating this park was to protect and resettle endangered species, including black and white rhinoceros, buffalo, roan and sable antelopes. At the Waterberg, travellers may also see leopards, rock dassies, small antelopes called klipspringers, deer-like creatures called tsessebes, wild dogs, lesser bush babies and cheetahs. Despite their small size, the rock dassies that proliferate here are related to the African elephant.
The rest camp basically consists of self catering bungalows. It has its own petrol station and a shop. Camping sites are also available. A stay at Waterberg Park can be booked separately or as part of a tour package by African Desk. Send your ideas to
