Waterberg Rest Camp

The Waterberg Plateau Park, Namibia, towers some 200m above the surrounding landscape, the plateau with its sheer cliffs and fascinating rock formations serve as a breeding area for endangered animal species. These include black and white rhinoceros, buffalo, sable and roan antelope and the diminutive Damara Dik-Dik which can be observed at close quarters foraging around the camp. There are over 200 bird species, including the only colony of the endangered Cape vulture left within Namibia.

Situated below the cliffs is the Waterberg Rest Camp, the camp was originally known as the Bernabe de la Bat Rest camp. A series of nature walks are set out leading from the camp to the chalets, historical sites, and the top of the plateau. The Mountain View walk leads to a viewpoint on top of the plateau, affording the walker with a magnificent panorama of the surrounding area.

The plateau can be explored on foot by means of guided Waterberg wilderness trail or the unguided Waterberg hiking trail, or by vehicle on guided morning and afternoon game drives.

Facilities at the Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp include a restaurant, kiosk which is open outside restaurant hours and a swimming pool at the Rasthaus complex. Adjacent to the reception office is a shop which stocks basic groceries, beer & wine as well as wood and souvenirs.
