Waterberg Plateau National Park

The Waterberg rises like an enormous castle out of the surrounding bushveld plains. Several fountains surface at the base of the perpendicular cliffs - giving rise to the Afrikaans name Waterberg.

The park was established to breed rare and endangered species such as sable, roan, tsessebee, black and white rhino as well as the only population of foot-and-mouth disease free buffalo in Namibia. The Cape Vulture colony is also of interest as it represents the only breeding colony of this species in the entire country.
