Extraordinary on all levels. Wonderful bungalow offering intimacy, fantastic views and close contact with nature. I loved to take a bath in the outside tub and shower outside the next morning. Quite a view and a very pleasant experience ! Great staff and meals. I enjoyed every moment and also loved the outside fireside.
The copper kissed rocks of the Waterberg mountains at sunset was spectacular!
The set dinner was lovely, even my vegetarian Guest was well taken care off.
I loved the message at the entrance to my room:
"Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all"

We stayed one night at the Waterberg Wilderness ONE and a second night at the Waterberg NWR Restcamp. The views from the ONE were outstanding (we were upgraded to the Plateau Lodge), but the lodging costs were much higher. The NWR had surprisingly nice facilities, considering they are state-owned. Staying in either location requires guests to eat there or to self-cater. The ONE location lodging includes breakfast and dinner. The NWR location includes breakfast, with dinner served at the restaurant (ordering from a menu with decent choices).
We did a game drive through the NWR, which was much more affordable, but we did not get to see much (it was the wrong time of the year to see animals at watering holes). That drive is to the Waterberg Plateau, which is a wonderful trip in itself (even without seeing much wildlife). The ONE game drives are more expensive, but go to their own reserve to view rhinos (probably available year-round).
