Discover hotels and villas for adventure holidays in Marakele National Park, South Africa

A narrow tar road winds to the top of the Waterberg massif. From here, the view is spectacular, sweeping across the Limpopo province’s plains and the Matlabas River. Wedged between the dry western and humid eastern regions of South Africa, this varied habitat offers good chances of spotting the big five (lions, leopards, Cape buffalos, black rhinos and elephants). Rare antelope species have also settled here; birdwatchers should seek out the colony of regal Cape Griffon Vultures, the largest in the world.
