Waterberg trip AA Traveller

A story of contrasts - silent, ancient mountains and giggling kids in large warm pools. Lots of fun in the X-Trail, great roads - eventually - and a close encounter with big cats.

Waterberg, Mabalingwe

A story which started slowly - 'where are the fucking mountains?' - ended well, although potentially fatally. Taking pics of Tlopi tented camp in Marakele I didn't realise I had been ringed by lions. As I got back into the X-Trail they popped out around me. Close call. Stayed at Mabalingwe.
