Waterberg Plateau National Park, located in the heart of Namibia, is the perfect place to start your tour. The park is inaccessible to poachers, and as a result many endangered species were moved to this area. The conversation programme has been so successful that animals from this park have since been used to repopulate other reserves. You find the white and black rhino here, blue wildebeest, buffalo, sable, roan, eland, and more than 200 bird species! However, this is not the only reason many people visit this area. It is a great place for guided and non-guided hikes! Rather do something different? Take a visit to the Cheetah Centre and meet the fastest animal on land!
