Waterberg Camp About Waterberg Camp The Waterberg Camp has recently been re-developed. Accomodation is provided
in comfortable premier bush chalets, two and four bed bush chalets and
double rooms, all nestled along the base of the Waterberg Plateau cliffs,
amongst towering trees. Daily guided drives are offered to the plateau, which is managed as a breeding area for rare and endangered species, including black and white rhinoceros, disease-free buffalo, sable and roan antelope. The natural beauty of the park area can also be explored on foot, by means of guided trails or self-guided trails, as well as a number of short trails from the camp, offering spectacular bird viewing opportunities and a high diversity of interesting flora. Waterberg Accommodation Waterberg Attractions and Activities General Information abour Waterberg
Geologically, the oldest rock stratum is over 850 million years old and dinosaurs tracks were left there some 200 million years ago. The first human inhabitants were the San people, who left rock engravings believed to be several thousand years old. A small tribe of the San were still living their traditional lifestyle on the plateau until the late 1960s. The site is also home to one of the major turning points in Namibia's History. It was at Waterberg, in the foothills, that the Herero people lost their last and greatest battle against German colonial forces at the beginning of the 20th century. The Herero were forced to retreat from the Waterberg and headed eastward to British Bechuanaland (now Botswana). Thousands were killed by the pursuing Germans and many lost their lives in the Kalahari Desert due to lack of food and water. Estimates are that nearly two thirds of the Herero population lost their lives during this period. The graves of German soldiers who lost their lives at Waterberg can still be viewed near the waterberg rest camp at the base of the park. NWR GENERAL PRINCIPLES
