Mostly for the landscape and the tranquillity. There are sable antelope here which are quite rare to see in the wild.
A wonderful, intimate safari experience
I stayed in Mokala National Park during an ant-collecting field trip with three entomologists, so I was not there as a tourist and cannot comment on the catering and guide services. However, we really enjoyed the few days we had there, since the hut we stayed in was comfortable, the weather was sunny and the place was throbbing with life. A variety of lovely birds visited us at the hut, including Crimson-breasted shrikes, Common scimitarbills and Black cuckoos (which are usually difficult to find, let alone see close-up). We encountered many mammals as well, including giraffes, herds of antelope and warthogs.
On the whole, I would highly recommend Mokala for a holiday. Since it straddles the boundary between the Karoo and savanna biomes, it is also a fascinating area to study if you are seriously interested in wildlife.
