The African Ivory Route has become one of the major attractions of the Waterberg.

Used by ivory hunters and gold traders, the route offers scenic camps and adrenaline pumping overlanding routes.

The area is malaria free, which counts in the favour of the many animals that can be seen: elephant, lion, white and black rhino, hippo, leopard, buffalo and the African python. See them in their natural habitat and be awed by their magnificence.

Care for a ride on an elephant? That can be arranged, together with many other activities that will turn your stay in the Waterberg region into an Africa Adventure.
