Great camping experience
The wildlife in the park self wasn't that great, but it was almost the end of our holiday en maybe we had seen enough. But the campside was great! No amazing. Great view of a little lake with al kinds of animals like rhino's! And Ostrichs walking around the campsite, real fun.

There is a unfenced tented camp, beautifully situated at a lake where we stayed a couple of days. You can drive up the mountain for a lovely view, or drive into the bush to see rhinos and other animals from nearby (watch my video of Marakele at youtube). Mix of dirt and tar roads.

Beautiful scenery, but unfortunately we didn't spend long enough to appreciate it to the full

A reat destination in South Africa. Excellent for Photography. The Waterberg is a must.
The best part of Marakele is the Scenery. It is not overpopulated like some of the other National Parks in SA.
When I camped at Marakele the roads were bad in wet weather and not having a 4 x 4 we got stuck several times. It is a relatively new reserve with no big game but good bird life.

Lots of animals for such a small park. It can't beat the Kruger but as it is small and very quiet, the experience is better. And scenery is awesome too.

For lovers of nature and relax
Staying at Tlopi tented camp it felt so relaxed, surrounded by pure nature, observing birds and wild animals drinking at the waterpool, fabulous sundown and sunset and a clear starfull night. It felt so nice this solitude yet richness of nature. The safari from gate to the camp was a wonderful ride with all the zebra's, impala's, monkeys around. The accomodation was with all the comfort the visitor needs.

Marakele- worth the trip
Marakele , has been one of my favourites national park i've been to .
the park in , 2 parts : once is more rocky mountain, with stunning view on surrounding, and the other part more flat .
The wildlife for ones who loves mamal has been great : kudu, white rhino, antelope is really lovely.
The tented camp is great and well situated , You can enjoy, very early morning , animals coming to drink, while you'll hear sometimes fishing eagle.
i overall rate it as excellent, and also considering that kind of camp and price range.

Greatest experience ever
Every thing during our stay was fantastic. From the accommodation (tlopi tented camp) to the warm welcome from every employee we met, not forgetting the wild life and great sceneries.
Thanks to our guide Tinyiko, we almost saw all the big fives. We had the chance, the first evening and next morning at the camp, to see a group of more than 20 elephants of all ages, come and stay two hours by the pound side, drinking, bathing, playing. It has been the most beautiful show we ever saw.
The evening dinners cooked on the braai was perfect, with the wild as soundtrack for this three nights / four days stay.
We would highly recommend this national park to anyone dreaming of wildness, peace and beauty.
