About Waterberg Valley Lodge
About Waterberg Valley Lodge
Waterberg Wilderness is a private nature reserve that lies in a valley at the foot of the Waterberg Plateau. Waterberg Valley Lodge is part of this reserve and is located on a hill from where you have a very beautiful view over the valley and the red cliffs.
The lodge is surrounded by a unique plant world, which you can explore on several hiking trails. Particularly noteworthy are the more than 200 different bird species and the rhinoceroses that live at Waterberg Wilderness.
The chances of seeing rhinoceroses here are very good. You can either join a Rhino Drive or go Rhino Tracking.
On the Rhino Drive you drive through the private nature reserve where the white rhinoceroses live. The tour lasts 2-3 hours and starts at 4pm.
Our recommendation: You really shouldn’t miss the Rhino Drive. Ideally you should arrive at Waterberg Valley Lodge by 3pm at the latest so that you can join the tour.
On Rhino Tracking you can head into the bush with a guide to track down the rhinoceroses. The tour starts at 8am and lasts 3-4 hours.
