Nthubu Camp: Masebe Nature Reserve


This 4 500 ha provincial park is situated in arguably one of the most picturesque spots in all of the Waterberg. It is characterized by dazzling sandstone cliffs, in the sheltered overhangs and hollows of which San Rock Art bears testimony of the people who inhabited this land in ancient times, and of what animals they encountered here – which included elephants, rhinos and buffalo. Today all of these animals no longer roam these areas but the reserve harbors most of the other game species that naturally occurred here. Birding is particularly good at this camp, which also presents an ideal habitat for raptors like black eagles, feasting on the abundant hyrax on the cliffs.

Masebe has a particularly strong spiritual vibe, which makes it an ideal retreat for those in need to revitalize the mind and spirit. Natural rock shelters present ideal natural meditation salas for those practicing this type of therapy.

Ntubu Camp is situated on the bank of a river of the same name, which is a tributary of the Klein Mokgalakwena River which transects the reserve in the west.
