Rare species including white rhino, buffalo, and sable and roan antelope have been introduced to the Waterberg Plateau Park and the existing game includes giraffe, kudu, leopard, hyena and cheetah. While no match for Etosha National Park as a wildlife destination, the park has two excellent - and very popular - long walking safaris that provide a fascinating close encounter with Namibia's wilderness. One is guided with no set route and the other is a self-guided demarcated trail.
Several excellent game farms have developed over the years and offer exceptional private safaris with luxury accommodation and good numbers of Africa's big game. |

The Cheetah Conservation Fund is several amalgamated game farms with private lodges on the western side of the Waterberg Plateau Park. The AfriCat Foundation is part of luxury lodge/game farm combination where they rehabilitate animals such as cheetah to be re-released into the wild.
On a farm, 60km south of Otjiwarongo, is a series of fossilised dinosaur footprints estimated to be between 150 and 200 million years old. Further north, near Grootfontein, is the Hoba Meteorite: the largest meteorite ever found and a huge hunk of metal 1m high and nearly 3m across. |
