Waterberg Biosphere

NATURE

Malaria-free bushveld and red escarpments

The Waterberg is one of the most accessible bush escapes in northern South Africa, known for red-rock ridges, broad valleys, private game reserves and a generally lower malaria risk than the Lowveld. It appeals to travelers who want wildlife, lodges and landscapes without committing to the scale of Kruger. Conservation, safari tourism and weekend escapes all overlap here.
