Day trips to Marakele

[harrys]

Thanks so much, Harrys,

for all the lovely shots - Looks like a fantastic place

Better than I thought, for a first trip I did not see much but again the hush was very thick as you will see later

[harrys]

Looks like a really nice Park to have so close to you .

Gives me time to spend in nature, even the drive to the park is cool, I saw Sable, grey hornbil, black Impala, Eland and Giraffe on my way to the park

[harrys]

Oh, great! We'll be going to Marakele regularly now too.

Nice sightings and I love that red sand road to new sightings.

I will try my best to go often

The reserve is home to Elephant, Black and White Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Brown Hyena. Resident antelope include Sable, Kudu, Eland, Impala, Waterbuck and Tsessebe. Chacma Baboon and Vervet Monkey are two species to be watched carefully for mischief, especially around the rest camps. Nature lovers can also discover the incredible variety of indigenous and rare flora in Marakele National Park. There are 80kms of park roads accessible to normal sedan vehicles.

Marakele has beautiful Waterberg vistas and the vegetation up there is always greenish

.. and no shortage of elephants

Looks as if those ellies are heading straight at you?

Lovely green and hilly scenery

Do they have separate areas for game?
