Experience zebras and wildebeest at the waterhole in an exotic landscape as they graze and quench their thirst.

What you can experience here

The waterhole is a magnet for zebras and wildebeest, which graze in the area and quench their thirst here. The tall palms, which grow up to 18 metres high, lend the scene an exotic touch.

Keep an eye out for approaching zebra herds in the distance and enjoy the peace and quiet while you wait for them to arrive. As predators such as the lion and spotted hyena follow the plains game and rest in the shade during the day, you should always scan the few shady spots for them.

Plan your visit for late morning to afternoon, as this is when your chances of seeing the animals are greatest. The track to the waterhole turns off the main road and is easy to reach.
