Safari
Waterberg
Attractions
The Waterberg's sandstone plateaux and river gorges make for a different kind of safari to the lowveld: game drives alongside multi-day walking and river-bed trails through terrain few visitors to South Africa ever see.
Climate
Drier than the lowveld, with hot summer afternoons and cold, clear winter nights across the high ground.
Activities
Game drives, guided multi-day hiking and river crossings on foot, and stargazing camps on open sandbanks.
