    There are a number of trails you can choose to hike along. I chose the mountain view trail because I find it most scenic.

  • Directions: Waterberg PlatoPark is north of Windhoek on your way to Otjiwarongo. So 27Km before Otjiwarongo you'd turn right. This road is about 68km and then you'd find the park on your left. Don't worry there's plent of signage, you won't miss it.

    The various hiking trails are marked with various symbols, so just keep a lookout for your trail. Also, all the way to the top of the mountan there are little white footprints to show your the direction and so you know you're still on track.

    Many animals can be seen in the park and especially rare and threatened species such as the sable and roan antilopes and both black and white rhinos. We missed all of them but other interesting animals such as the rock dassie ("daman des rochers" in French) which is in fact a pachyderm even if it's not bigger than a rabbit ;-)

    After your long hike up the mountain, there's nothing as refreshing as a dip in the pool.

  • Directions: The pool is in the park and they give you a map, so fear not :)

    The park provides camping facilities but you can also stay in one of the bunaglows if you're not a hardcore camper :)

    Climbing on top might not be easy but it really worths it. There are several walking tracks so you can pick the one that suits you better. On the pic, you can see the track we took : a short but intensive walk !

    The Namibian table mountain is much bigger and more impressive than the one in Cape Town : it's a 50km-long and 16km-wide colourful plateau consisting of porous sandstone. The top is arid but there's a lot of surface water and permanent springs at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, there's a lot of vegetation but also a lot of animals.
