In the rolling plains and deep valleys of the Mountain Zebra National Park, the Cape Mountain Zebra has been preserved from extinction. This national park boasts a range of attractions, including game viewing, 4×4 trails and cheetah tracking.
There is a range of accommodation options, from camping to self-catering cottages, in various locations in the park. If you love the seclusion that 4×4 access roads afford, check out their Mountain Cottages for tranquility and beautiful starry nights.

A 4×4-ers paradise, Marakele National Park has lots of trails to explore and is the perfect opportunity to go rooftop camping. Should you seek a taste of comfort, check out the Marataba Luxury Lodges situated on a private concession of the national park.
