 | The Marakele National Park in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, as its Tswana name suggests, has become a 'place of sanctuary' for an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa. |
 | However the park is also appealing to birders as it falls within the transition zone between the dry western regions and the moister eastern regions of the country. |
 | The park is situated in the summer rainfall region and rainfall occurs in the form of heavy thunderstorms or soft rain. |
