The Waterberg straddles an area of some 15,000 square kilometres in the Limpopo Province, and is unmatched in its beauty. Including the Welgevonden Game Reserve and Marakele National Park, this malaria-free region has all of the big five as well as many more rare species.
The Waterberg can be found just a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg, making it easily accessible to families looking for a hassle free safari, without the risk of malaria! Not only will the rich and varied wildlife appeal, but the surrounding hills, valleys and gorges are perfect for satisfying curious minds, providing exciting walking, riding and biking trails and plentiful opportunities for exploration.
And if all that's not enough then the Waterberg also offers a wealth of cultural attractions; significant San rock art sites can be found within the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, and in the Makapans Valley, ancient hominid fossils have been uncovered. The intricate cave network has since been declared a national monument, and makes for a fascinating side trip to compliment your Waterberg safari.
