Local Weekend 4x4 Safaris: Mountain of the Mamba – Waterberg

Mountain of the Mamba is on the Private Big 5 Game Reserve ENTABENI, which is situated in the World Heritage ‘Waterberg Biosphere’ in the Waterberg region. This 22000 hectare malaria free reserve boasts five eco systems. Entabeni offers far more than the usual game sightings of the Big Five. A true African bush experience awaits you at our bush camp site where the beauty of the unspoilt wilderness of the Waterberg can be enjoyed, viewing herds of zebra and blou wildebeest grazing next to our unfenced camp and enjoy a crimson sunset over the plains. On this bush safari we also have the opportunity of learning more about the bush i.e.

  • Identifying game tracks, trees, bushes, birds
  • Talk on survival strategy and survival equipment
  • Learn about navigation – map and compass
