Waterberg, private game reserves and the easy road north to Etosha.
Central Namibia is the country's farming heartland, a region of thornveld, rocky hills and private reserves between Windhoek and Etosha. It is home to the Waterberg Plateau, a sandstone massif rising above the plains, and to conservation projects such as AfriCat at Okonjima.
Most travellers pass through on the way north, and it is worth slowing down for a night or two. Guest farms and reserves here offer game drives, walks and big cat tracking, and they break up the drive to Etosha nicely.
