The Waterberg

A Unique Safari Destination in South Africa

Waterberg: Untouched Safari Close to Johannesburg

The Waterberg region in Limpopo, South Africa, is a remarkable yet still relatively undiscovered safari destination just a few hours from Johannesburg. It features dramatic landscapes, rich biodiversity, and forms part of the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere Reserve.

Compared to more famous regions, the Waterberg is quieter and more exclusive, with private reserves like Welgevonden limiting visitors for a peaceful experience.
Its combination of accessibility and abundant wildlife makes the Waterberg an ideal destination for travellers.

From Big 5 Luxury to Active Adventure

Guests visiting Elephants Crossing often choose to combine their stay with a few nights at Zebras Crossing, located elsewhere in the Waterberg region.

While Elephants Crossing offers a luxury Big 5 safari experience in Welgevonden Game Reserve, Zebras Crossing provides a more active safari atmosphere where guests can explore the bush through mountain biking and bush walks.

This combination allows travellers to experience two different sides of the African bush!
