What To Do at Hamakari Guest Farm
The geological history of the Waterberg dates back 850 million years and in addition to dinosaur tracks, there are over 90 species of mammals, more than 200 species of birds and almost 500 plant species to discover.
Activities provided by the lodge or provided nearby, nearby tourist attractions, places to visit and things to see.
Because the plateau is largely inaccessible from beneath, several of Namibia's endangered animal species were relocated into the area during the early 1970s to protect them from predators and poaching to extinction.
The programme was very successful and Waterberg now supplies other Namibian parks with rare animals.
Guests of Hamakari can visit the Waterberg Park, go for Game drives on the Hamakari Guest Farm and also visit the nearby Herero Cultural Village. There are also monuments of the German Colonial era close by.
