During rhino tracking at Waterberg you can track the rare and highly endangered rhinos in the company of a guide.

What you can experience here

Set off on an exciting rhino tracking experience at Waterberg Wilderness and encounter majestic white rhinoceroses up close in their natural habitat. Together with experienced guides you hike through the wilderness at the foot of the Waterberg Plateau, following the tracks of these impressive animals. Your guide will show you how to read spoor and track rhinos while you learn a lot about their behaviour, their adaptations and the challenges of rhino conservation in Namibia.

This guided walking expedition begins in the cool morning hours. You cross the dry savannah at Waterberg, always accompanied by an experienced ranger who ensures that the animals are not disturbed. The exciting thing about this tour is that you encounter the rhinos at a respectful distance. With a bit of luck you can also observe giraffes, kudu or oryx in addition to rhinos.

To take part in the rhino tracking, you must stay in one of the accommodations or campsites at Waterberg Wilderness.

    What others say about Waterberg Wilderness Private Nature Reserve

    Reisende erleben den Aufenthalt oft als intensives Naturerlebnis: Vor allem Rhino-Touren und Wanderungen bleiben als Höhepunkt in Erinnerung. Viele loben die freundlichen Guides und teils auch das restliche Personal. Gut ausgestattete, ruhige Campsites mit eigenen Bädern kommen besonders gut an.

    Beim Komfort gehen die Erfahrungen auseinander. Einige finden die einfachen, teils gealterten Unterkünfte für ein paar Nächte passend, loben Essen und Preise. Andere empfinden Zimmer, Campsite und Buffet als lieblos oder veraltet und halten Preis-Leistung und Service an der Rezeption für schwach.

    Mehrere Gäste waren überrascht, wie rudimentär die Ausstattung ist: teils kein Strom, schwaches WLAN, sehr kalte Nächte in Zelten ohne Heizung oder große Hitze in Hütten ohne Klimaanlage. Auf manchen Plätzen ist es abends sehr dunkel, Bäder oder Restaurant liegen weiter weg und Tiere plündern Mülleimer.
