Waterberg Mountains Travel Guide

The Waterberg, a 150km-long (93-mile) mountain ridge that rises quite dramatically from the bushveld plains to 2,085m (6,839 ft.) above sea level, is substantially less populated than the big-game country that lies to the east of the Escarpment. With no major roads and only one town (Vaalwater) within a 15,000-sq.-km (5,850-sq.-mile) area, the region is almost totally devoid of humans—and, with no forestry or industry contributing to pollution, it's one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the country. It also offers a more varied terrain than most of Kruger, with majestic mountainscapes and rocky ravines, grassed valleys, and lush riverines. Aside from its proximity (a 2 1/2-hr. drive) to Johannesburg, the reserve is malaria-free, which means you don't have to suffer the side effects of medication. Add to this the mountainous landscape and lack of congestion when compared with some of the private game reserves around Kruger, and it becomes a very appealing choice indeed. Read More
