Mountain Zebra National Park
|
|
Nature Reserve
in or near
Cradock
This incredibly scenic park of more than 28000 ha varies from grass-covered plateaus to wooded ravines and provides a sanctuary for the rare Cape Mountain Zebra. It is also home to herds of eland, springbok, kudu, black wildebeest, blesbok, cape buffalo and red hartebeest, to name but a few, and smaller predators such as the cheetah, caracal, brown hyena, African wild cat, bat-eared fox and aardwolf.
Over 250 bird species have been recorded here. In the park one really feels close to nature. There are opportunities for game viewing from your own vehicle, riding in the bracing mountain air, walking along several nature trails, or undertaking the 3 day hiking trail. (With overnight huts).
Visitors to the park can overnight in the rest camp’s caravan park or self-contained chalets. The park also offers a licensed restaurant, conference facilities, swimming pools, fuel pumps and a shop for provisions and souvenirs. An unforgettable experience is a stay in the Doornhoek farmstead, which houses 6 persons, dates from 1836, and lies hidden in a secluded valley. It is a national monument, furnished with beautiful antiques. If you’ve travelled far to get away from the city, a visit to the Mountain Zebra National Park is a must.
