Camped at Mokala National Park

Mokala, being the newest park in the SANParks stable, is situated approximately 80km south-southwest of Kimberley, and west of the N12 freeway to Cape Town. Mokala's landscape consists of a variety of (hills) and large open plains.

This landscape creates the ideal habitat for animals like Black and White Rhino, Black Wildebeest, Tsessebe and roan antelope.

Accommodation in the park consists of two lodges, Mosu Lodge and Mofele Lodge; a restaurant, conference facilities and a camping area, Haak-en- Steek camp, which is 10km from the main lodge.

Game to be seen are Black Rhino, Tsessebe, Roan antelope, White Rhino and Black Wildebeest.

This is a brand new park with a lot of opportunities for outdoor adventure. A number of activities such as mountain biking, day walks, sunset and night drives and bush braais will be on offer. The park also plans to take full advantage of perfect night skies and star-gazing as a night time activity will also be offered along with wildlife documentary DVD shows. Rock art painting and engraving excursions, and guided horse trails will also be introduced.

Weather

Rainfall, mainly in summer, is erratic and can be as high as 700 mm per year, but also as low as 300 mm per year. The average annual rainfall for the park is just over 400 mm per annum.

The park has cold winters (coldest months June - July) as low as -4 degrees C while the summer (warmest months December - January) is as high as 44 degrees C.

We recommend Mokala Park strongly for a stay of at least two nights to be able to cover the park properly and enjoy the wonderful quiet and natural surroundings. -TheLinxies.
