Waterberg Plateau Park is a national park in central Namibia 68 km east of the town of Otjiwarongo.
The Waterberg
Plateau after which the park is named is a particularly prominent feature, elevated high above the plains
of the Kalahari of Eastern Namibia. The plateau and some 405 km² of surrounding
land were declared a Nature Reserve in 1972.
Waterberg plateau is largely inaccessible so in the early 1970s several of Namibia's endangered species were translocated there to protect them from predators and poaching to extinction. The programme was very successful and Waterberg now supplies other Namibian parks with rare species. In 1989, Black Rhino were reintroduced to the area from Damaraland, sparking a successful breeding programme of national and international significance for the species.
