Rising dramatically from the flat Kalahari plains of northeast Namibia, the Waterberg Plateau is one of the country's most distinctive landscapes — a great table of red Etjo sandstone, its vertical cliffs glowing orange in the afternoon light, topped by a lush plateau ecosystem completely unlike the semi-desert below. The views from the rim are extraordinary in every direction.
The plateau functions as a natural enclosed reserve, allowing Namibia Wildlife Resorts to maintain populations of species that need protection — white rhino, buffalo, sable and roan antelope, eland, and tsessebe among them. Guided game drives are the primary way to encounter them. The resort sits at the base of the cliffs with a choice of accommodation from camping to premier bush chalets, and guided hiking trails lead up onto the plateau itself.
Comfortable double rooms at the resort base, each with ensuite bathroom. A clean, practical option for couples or solo travellers who want the full resort experience — restaurant, bar, swimming pool, and guided game drives — at an affordable price point. The rooms sit within easy reach of all facilities and the dramatic cliff backdrop is never far from view.
Bush chalets set in the grounds of the resort at the foot of the Waterberg sandstone cliffs. Available in two configurations — sleeping 2 (also available as a single) or sleeping 4 (minimum 2 guests). Each chalet has an ensuite bathroom and the characteristic Waterberg atmosphere: red rock, lush vegetation, and the possibility of wildlife wandering through the grounds. A popular choice for families and small groups wanting more space than a double room.
The best accommodation at Waterberg — premium bush chalets with more space, better finishes, and enhanced views of the plateau and surrounding bush. Each premier chalet sleeps 2 with full ensuite facilities. The most sought-after units at the resort and the right choice for anyone wanting to experience Waterberg in comfort. Spectacular surroundings at first light, with the red cliffs catching the sunrise in a way that's hard to describe without seeing it.
Campsites at Waterberg are set at the base of the plateau with the red sandstone cliffs as the backdrop — one of the most dramatic camping settings in Namibia. Sites include a braai area and access to shared ablution blocks. Campers have full access to the resort's restaurant, bar, and swimming pool. A genuinely memorable place to spend the night under a sky free of light pollution, listening to the sounds of the African bush.
The plateau at Waterberg functions as a natural enclosed reserve — the cliffs prevent animals from leaving, making this one of the most reliable places in Namibia to see white rhino, buffalo, sable antelope, roan antelope, eland, and tsessebe. Guided game drives take guests up onto the plateau top, through a landscape of red rock, acacia woodland, and sweeping views across the Kalahari plains below. Birdlife is exceptional, with a number of endemic and near-endemic Namibian species recorded here.
