Fodor's Expert Review Waterberg Camp

Waterberg Plateau Park, Otjozondjupa, Namibia

This NWR property is located on the escarpment's wooded slopes. Take a dip in the camp's natural-spring-fed swimming pool at the foot of the towering sandstone cliffs or the pool bar, then relax in front of your bungalow and watch the sun set over the plateau. Surrounding the camp is one of the largest varieties of plant species in southern Africa. It's best to book accommodations in advance at NWR in Windhoek, online or by calling, although you can take a chance (particularly in the low season) and book when you arrive at the park office between 8 am and sunset. There is a restaurant and small shop selling basic groceries and drinks on-site; and there's a grocery store in town.

PROS

  • guided game drives on the plateau where you can see rare animals
  • home to over 200 bird species
  • beautiful self-guided walks and nature trails in the park

CONS

  • not all self-catering kitchens are well-stocked
  • service is inconsistent
  • walking trails are not always well maintained
