Understand

It is home to the very rare and endangered Mountain Zebra. A few decades ago only less then 20 individuals of this zebra existed, but since then they have recovered and today there are around 150 of them in the Mountain Zebra NP.

There is not much vegetation, because the MZNP is close to the semi-desert Karoo.

Get in

Get around

You may use your own car to drive around and spot some animals.

There are also very nice hiking trails, which will allow you to experience wildlife and nature from very close. The trails start at the camp. Ask at the reception to get a small map and some advice on the trails. There is no danger when walking the trails, as there are no dangerous animals like lion in the park, but is is not uncommon to see fighting baboons or relaxing kudus and zebras in the distance during a walk.

See

The main attraction of the Mountain Zebra NP are the Mountain Zebras. But there are also other interesting animals, like the many antelopes that live in the park.

At the camp (way up to the pool) is a big colony of Rock Dassies. They hide between the stones and elsewhere. They can become very naughty, but are normally shy. You will surely spot more and more, if you stop for a second and stand still.

Do

Buy

Eat

There is a restaurant in the camp, which offers some interesting meals, like Springbok Carpaccio.

For evenings after a long day, a braai (South African word for barbeque) is recommended. All chalets have braai facilities and meat and wood can be bought in the camp's shop.

Drink

Do not forget to drink enough, especially in the summer months of December and January. Take enough water on a game drive, unless you want to spoil your wildlife experience, because you are thirsty and have to return to the camp. Water and other drinks (also alcohol) can be bought in the camp's shop.

Sleep

There is a small camp in the park and a camping site and chalets allow visitors to stay overnight.

Get out

• Good place to start for a day-tour to Graaff-Reinet, one of the oldest towns in South Africa, with some wonderful Victorian houses and a beautiful old town centre.
• Go to the Addo Elephant National Park or Port Elizabeth from here.
• Drive towards Bloemfontein in the north.
