Marakele Natonal Park

Marakele National Park is located in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains in South Africa between a dry western part and a wet eastern part of South Africa. It therefore has a varied landscape with grassy hills, deep valleys and high mountains. In this park all large animals are present: elephants, many black and white rhinos, leopards, buffalos, cheetahs, lions, wild dogs and brown hyenas. There are also several antelope species and Marakele has one of the largest Cape Vulture Colonies in the world (about 800 breeding pairs). You can make independent game drives in the park. You can also make ‘bush walks’ with a guide. There are various accommodation options in the park, campsite, chalets and meru tents. A 4×4 is required for the larger part of the park.
