Waterberg Plateau in the evening sun, Namibia.
The Waterberg Plateau National Park is a national park in central Namibia, located on the Waterberg Plateau of the same name. It lies 68 kilometres east of Otjiwarongo. It covers an area of 405 km² and was opened by the local Ministry of Environment and Tourism in 1972.
The park has a prominent place in Namibia due to its central and high location of 200 meters above sea level. Because the area is relatively inaccessible to humans, endangered species have been placed in the reserve since its opening in 1972, mainly to prevent poaching. This proved to be a success and due to the growing population of endangered species in the park, populations in other parks can be supplemented with animals from the Waterberg Plateau Park. In 1989 the black rhino was returned to Damaraland, an area in the north of Namibia that is inhabited by the Damara.
The park has a large amount of fauna. There are 200 different species of birds and 25 species of mammals, including the white and black rhino and the sable antelope.
