Description
Invigorating crystal clear air, beautiful scenery, tranquil ambience and an abundance of wildlife offer you a special and personal African wilderness experience at Mountain Zebra National Park.
Situated near Nxuba (Cradock) in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, this national park was originally proclaimed in 1937 to save the dwindling Cape mountain zebra population. Now, at over 28,000-hectares, the park boasts a conservation success story, protecting over 600 zebra as well as wildlife such as endangered black rhino and cheetah.
The comfortable accommodation units in the park are all self-catering and fully equipped with bedding, towels, cooking and eating utensils as well as braai sites. Units are serviced daily. There are also camping and caravan sites with power points on grassy substrate. Communal kitchen and ablutions are provided.
A swimming pool, a shop with curios and basic commodities, a fully licenced a la carte restaurant, and a fuel station are available in the rest camp. The park also offers 2 picnic sites, Fonteinkloof and Weltevrede, with braai faciltiies, picnic table and ablutions. There is a swimming pool for day visitors at Fonteinkloof picnic site.
The park is abundant with wildlife including buffalo, eland, kudu, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, blesbok and gemsbok, while mountain reedbuck and grey rhebok can be found higher up on the mountain plateaus. The park is known for its special sightings of the rater wildlife such as aardwolf, bat-eared fox and caracal. Over 200 bird species occur including black and martial eagles, ostrich, secretary bird, blue crane, Ludwig’s bustard, red-billed oxpecker and eastern long-billed lark.
The park has a rich variety of bird species and in spring, the plains are covered with flowers. The summers are warm and the swimming pool provides a welcome oasis for guests to laze in. Winter nights are cold - just right for evenings spent in front of the blazing log fires in the cottages. Regular snowfall on high-lying areas in the colder months turns the park into a winter wonderland.
