One of the features of the Waterberg Plateau Park in Namibia is to serve as a breeding area for endangered animal species. These species include Rhinos, buffalo, sable and roan antelope.
The Bernabe De La Bat resort is situated in one of the most spectacular features of the northern region. Towering some 200m above the surrounding landscape, the plateau with its sheer cliffs and fascinating rock formations is the habitat and breeding ground of several game species.
Accommodation at the Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp includes two-bedded rooms and also one- and two-bedroom bungalows sleeping three and five people respectively. Each bungalow has a kitchen equipped with a hot plate, kettle and refridgerator, but no crockery, cutlery or cooking utensils. There is also a shower, wash basin and toilet. Bedding, soap and towels are provided. Each bungalow has its own outside braai area.
Facilites at the grassy camp site include communal ablutions and a field kitchen.
Facilities at the Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp include a restaurant, kiosk which is open outside restaurant hours and a swimming pool at the Rasthaus complex. Adjacent to the reception office is a shop which stocks basic groceries, beer & wine as well as wood and souvenirs.
There are two daily game drives (prices are on request) includes continental breakfast, afternoon- includes sundowner) to the top of the plateau, where you will search for the endangered species.
