Birds & Birding in Waterberg Plateau Park

Waterberg Plateau Safaris Waterberg Plateau Park

Waterberg Plateau Park is an excellent birding destination, with more than 250 species recorded in a relatively small area. This diversity is due to the different habitats: broad-leafed woodland on top of the plateau, thornbush below the plateau, and cliffs. The park has nine self-guided walking trails that are very productive for bird watching. It is also home to Namibia’s only breeding colony of Cape vultures. Migratory birds are present from November to April.

Best Time for Bird Watching

The Waterberg Plateau can be visited throughout the year. Bird watching is best in the Wet season (November to April), when summer migrants from Europe and Asia are present. Most birds of prey, and many other species, are resident in the park and can be seen year-round.
