Watch elephant bulls at Marabou Pan. Park at the waterhole and wait for wildlife arriving from all directions.

What you can experience here

At Marabou Pan there is a natural and an artificial waterhole right next to each other, attracting numerous wild animals all year round – especially elephant bulls. These majestic animals often come to drink in the late morning, an impressive sight you really should experience.

In the early morning and evening you can also look out for lions, African wild dogs and spotted hyenas, which are active in the area. As the morning goes on, small doves provide the typical sounds of the African savannah and create a unique atmosphere.

It is well worth driving here, parking your car at the waterhole and waiting patiently. The animals use the numerous paths around the waterhole to come to the water from every direction.
