Waterberg Plateau : tout pour préparer ton voyage

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

• Special feature – The Waterberg stands out from the rest of Namibia with its red plateau and comparatively green landscape.

• Landscape – In this region you will find steep rock faces, densely vegetated slopes, open bush and wide views from the plateau.

• Atmosphere – The region appears greener and noticeably cooler than many of Namibia’s dry desert areas.

• Wildlife viewing – You can see especially antelopes, buffaloes, rhinoceroses and many bird species here.

• Safari feel – Instead of long game drives, hikes, short safaris and the special landscape are often the focus here. All safaris are guided; self-driving is not permitted.

• Plateau – The national park lies on top of the plateau and offers impressive views over the surrounding plains. Buffaloes also live on the plateau.

• Accommodation – The state-run NWR accommodation is located directly at the foot of the Waterberg. Waterberg Wilderness is also at the foot of the plateau in a private valley.

• Waterberg Wilderness – The private reserve offers quieter accommodation and the opportunity to hike on your own as well as to join rhino trackings on foot and by vehicle.

• Self-drivers – The Waterberg is ideal for travellers who want to combine nature, hiking and relaxed safari experiences. However, you cannot go on safari here in your own car.

• Roads – The main access roads are mostly well developed and easy to drive.

• Climate – Because of the altitude and vegetation the region often feels a little cooler and more pleasant than many other parts of Namibia.

• Mobile reception and internet – You usually have reception around the accommodation, but often only limited coverage on the plateau itself.
