Waterberg Biosphere

Situated in the central Limpopo province, just a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg, the malaria free Waterberg Biosphere is a scenic and wildlife rich area. The impressive Waterberg Mountain Range stretches across the Reserve, creating a natural diversity with endless views of the plains of the lower escarpment from the high peaks of the upper escarpment. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna, a chance to see the big five and over 40 species of game including the highly endangered Sable antelope. The region is known for its strong conservation ethics in the form of projects to breed disease-free Cape buffalo as well as white lion, coupled with a highly acclaimed Field Guide Training facility. The Waterberg is steeped in history and some artifacts found here date back to Stone Age times. The area is a mosaic of culture and tradition as is reflected by the Bapedi, Tswana and Basotho tribes, while the Voortrekkers also left their distinctive mark on the area.
