Overview
Marakele, at the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, is a scenic destination in remote wilderness. The park is home to the Big Five, but sightings are hit-and-miss. Big cats aren't encountered very often, but white rhino is seen regularly. A highlight is the vulture viewpoint where Cape vulture can be spotted. The park is divided into two sections: the first contains easy-to-drive gravel roads but not many animals; the second is far wilder but also richer in wildlife.

The best wildlife viewing in Marakele is during the dry winter months from May to September. At this time animals gather around predictable water sources and are therefore easier to spot.
