“Where Endangered Species Roam”… Mokala is SANParks’ newest park. Nestled in the hills, Mokala’s landscape boasts a variety of koppieveld (hills) and large open plains.
Mokala National Park, proclaimed in June 2007, is South Africa’s newest park, located 80km southwest of Kimberley. Named after the Setswana word for Camelthorn tree (Acacia erioloba), the park features striking, twisted specimens ranging from small shrubs to towering 16m trees.
Covering 27,500ha, Mokala’s landscape blends koppieveld (hills) with open plains, creating a secluded yet expansive setting. Drainage lines from the hills feed into the Riet River on the northern border.
The park plays a vital role in species conservation and is home to Black and White Rhino, Buffalo, Tsessebe, Roan and Sable Antelope, Giraffe, Eland, Zebra, and more. Its diverse habitats also attract numerous bird species, including the Black-chested prinia, Pygmy falcon, and Northern black korhaan.
