Description

The Marakele National Park is situated in the heart of the Waterberg Mountain range, and as its Tswana name suggests, has become a 'place of sanctuary' for an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa. Marakele National Park is in a malaria-free area, approximately 12 km from the town of Thabazimbi.

Visitors flocking here can expect a welcoming mixture of tranquillity, delight and overall satisfaction, and the picturesque paradise in which the park is set forms part of the promise. Rare yellowwood and striking cedar trees, long and luscious bushveld and grandiose mountains in the background, huge committee’s of Cape vultures soaring through the royal blue skies, and exciting mixtures of wildlife trampling across the pains, certainly makes for a bush experience unlike any other.

The Bontle Rest Camp is located adjacent to the park’s new reception and administrative office, and is in close proximity to the main entrance gate.

It's no coincidence that bontle means ‘beautiful’ in Setswana. This pleasant rest camp consists of 10 tented units for those who would prefer a permanent structure more than putting up a tent and camp themselves. The tented units have a private verandah and are self-catering with their own fully equipped kitchen and outdoor braai stand. The rest camp also offers 36 campsites with power points, arranged into 3 clusters with 1 communal ablution block per cluster.

Just perfect. We really enjoyed our time at Marekele National Park. The ablutions were clean, and the campsite was quiet.
