NATURAL & HISTORICAL SITES

6 : Open Vistas

A short distance along the route to the south, the traveller is afforded wonderful wilderness views west towards Welgevonden Game Reserve and Marakele National Park. The highest point in the Waterberg (2 088 m) is located in the National Park and amongst those cliffs lives an important Cape Vulture colony.  In this region one will find a number of "big five" reserves with well-appointed facilities.  In the foreground is the Mokolo River basin which drains the southern highlands.  Apart from the Mokolo River there are numerous other rivers and streams that also contribute to this important wetland area.
