About Waterberg Plateau Campsite
About Waterberg Plateau Campsite
Waterberg Wilderness is a private nature reserve. The area used to be a cattle farm, which was turned into a nature reserve in 2000. It now covers 3,500 ha of land at the foot of the Waterberg Plateau. Waterberg Plateau Campsite is located in a valley and was opened in 2005.
Over time, various animal species have been reintroduced into the reserve. The highlight of Waterberg Wilderness is definitely the severely threatened rhinos that live here.
On the Rhino Drive you travel in an open safari vehicle through the reserve in search of the rhinos. The tour takes place in the afternoon and lasts about 2–3 hours. The chance of seeing rhinos is very high.
Our recommendation: You should ideally arrive at Waterberg Plateau Campsite by 3pm at the latest so that you can still join the Rhino Drive.
You can also take part in rhino tracking. For this activity you need to be fit on your feet, as together with a tracker you track down the rhinos in the bush. The tracking takes place in the morning and lasts about 3–4 hours.

Your accommodation
The campsites are separated from each other by bushes and trees and therefore offer privacy. The pitches are on typical red Kalahari sand.
Each pitch has a shade roof, a tap and a braai and campfire area. The braai area is equipped with a height-adjustable grid and a cast-iron pan. You can buy firewood at check-in at reception.
There is a wash block where you have your own unit with shower, washbasin and toilet. The hot water for the shower is heated by a fire in a boiler (‘donkey’). There is also light in the wash block.
Waterberg Plateau Campsite has a pool. The water can look a bit cloudy because it is very fine spring water that is treated with only a little chlorine. So no need to worry!
