The Waterberg Plateau rises up from the flat landscape northeast of Windhoek into a lush, thickly vegetated mountain that provides habitat and protection for 25 game species and over 200 bird species. The stunning scenery is a joy to explore, either through guided game drives on top of the plateau, or hikes from its base up towards the peaks to enjoy the best views.

FAQs
The Waterberg Plateau is a fantastic year-round destination, but we recommend visiting it when the Namibian weather is at its most pleasant during the cooler months between March and September. During the rainy season between February and April, the plentiful water can turn the Waterberg into a lush paradise perfect for exploration. December and January are also very sunny, but it can get extremely hot during the day.
