Setting foot in Marakele, right in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, allows one to discover a park like no other. Like the Tswana name suggests, “A place of sanctuary” is indeed what is to be expected.
This national park is located in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa, therefore allowing for a remarkable variety of wildlife. A moderate and pleasant climate ensures an enjoyable stay, with perfect summer rainfalls keeping the worst heat at bay.
Visitors flocking here can expect a welcoming mixture of tranquillity, delight and overall satisfaction – and the picturesque paradise in which the park is set forms just part of the promise. Rare yellowwood and striking cedar trees, grand mountains in the background, Cape vultures soaring
through the royal blue skies, exciting mixtures of wildlife roaming the plains… certainly a bush experience unlike any other!
