The Waterberg Biosphere

Guests in Game Drive Vehicle, Lion in Foreground, South Africa

Situated amidst the towering Waterberg Mountains in the Limpopo Province, the Waterberg Biosphere acts as a vital water source for the region. Its rugged beauty showcases low-lying mountain ranges, dramatic escarpments, and a network of streams, rivers, and lakes.

It is home to South Africa’s first-ever savannah biosphere reserve and many other nature reserves that provide a protected habitat for wildlife. Visitors can relax in natural hot springs, discover the ancient World Heritage-listed archaeological site in Makapans Valley, and view abundant birdlife at the Nylsvley Wetlands.

Amenities

  • Our usual program whilst inside the game reserves will involve a 5 am wake-up, game drive at 5:30 am – 8:30 am (including a tea and coffee stop), followed by 9:30 am breakfast, relaxing during the day, and then a 4 pm afternoon drive (sundowners), then bush dinner. Our drives will be timed to take advantage of the early morning and late afternoon light and weather conditions to see wildlife. During the heat of the day, you’re free to take advantage of our fantastic camp facilities, relax by the pool, in your room, etc.

  • Coffee, tea, and light snacks are available before all game drives and activities. Breakfast is served after our morning activities. Lunch timing is flexible depending on our schedule. Dinner will be served based on our return or departure time. Our fantastic chefs at HoneyGuide will prepare all meals. Please inform us of any dietary requirements (e.g., gluten-free, nut allergies) in advance.

  • March in this region, similar to Kruger National Park, features a transition from summer to winter. Expect warm days with highs around 32°C and cooler nights dropping to 16°C. Though rainfall decreases in March, afternoon showers are still possible.

    For your safari in Manyeleti, pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm days, along with a light rain jacket and a warm layer for cooler evenings and mornings. Don't forget essentials like swimwear, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and insect repellent.

    Remember that the weather can be unpredictable, so layering your clothing is crucial for adapting to temperature changes throughout the day.
