Mokala Park is the latest addition to the Sanparks stable of parks. Situated near Kimberley, it is a good two-day overnight spot on the way to Cape Town or the West Coast or Namaqualand. This park promises to become one of the real jewels amongst the National Parks. Small but exquisite. We recommend at least a two day stay to enable you to drive the whole park or at least a large part of it before you move on.
