Waterberg - Striking Red Sandstone
This strikingly beautiful region features an imposing plateau that rises 400 m (1 310 feet) above the surrounding plains, as well as extraordinary geological formations and vegetation. Meaning "water mountain" in Afrikaans, the name probably stems from the numerous life-giving springs on the southeastern slopes.
A place of important historical significance to Namibians, the Waterberg is also a noteworthy conservation area. It was declared a nature reserve in 1972 and has become a refuge for several endangered species.
The Waterberg is also one of Namibia’s prime birdwatching destinations and here you will find the world’s only breeding colony of Cape vultures.
