Running down Namibia's spine, the Central Highlands separate the Kalahari from the dunes of the Namib. Here the mountains jut into the sky in earthly magnificence just begging to be explored. The rolling hills are the home to many of Namibia’s largest farms and ranches, many of which offer wonderful ‘guest farm’ experience where you stay and experience first-hand what it is like to farm in such a vast terrain.
To the east lies the Waterberg Plateau National Park, a flat-topped sandstone plateau rising 150 metres above the surrounding plains. The park boasts a number of endangered species including eland, sable and roan antelope and both white and black rhino and offers some fabulous hiking in pristine surroundings. Here you'll also find Okonjima Nature Reserve, home to the Africat Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the long-term conservation of Namibia’s large carnivores and other endangered species.
