The land of night drives and bush braais Mokala National Park offers a range of activities along with stargazing, fly fishing, and guided bush walks.
Game Viewing
Here at Mokala National Park, it’s the smaller predators that dominate the landscape, such as black-back jackal, bat-eared foxes and raptors flying overhead.
Through your own self-drives or pre-booked guided game drives, you’ll quickly encounter safari favourites such as giraffe, ostrich, black and white rhino, blue and black wildebeest, buffalo, tsessebe, roan antelope,kudu, springbok, and duiker. Here for the birds? Make a beeline for the Stofdam hide where you can spot Crimson-breasted Shrike and a plethora of kingfishers.
More Mokala Outdoor Activities
Along with guided San rock art excursions and tours of the Anglo Boer War battlefields, there is plenty to keep you busy at Mokala National Park. Spend your nights gazing at the stars and your days soaking up the vistas and picnicking at Kameeldoring and Matopi (open to day visitors).
If you’re keen to throw in a line, the Riet River offers some excellent fly-fishing spots like De Krans and Kleinbek, but if you’re here to play with your 4x4, there are plenty of twin-track routes to tackle. Planning on bringing the mountain bike? Mokala National Park also features plenty of adventurous cycling tracks.
