Beautiful plateau and beautiful views. Wildlife is unremarkable though one can see quite a lot.

Rhinos and Hippos at Wabi Lodge
We stayed at Wabi Lodge. Their website contains a lot of useful information about the region and its progressive shift from game to eco tourism and wildlife conservation. Rooms are large and nicely furnished, with some reminders of the game period. (Cold) swimming.pool, good meals.
Safari with a very friendly and interesting local black chauffeur and guide, one of our very few constacts with black people in Namibia. He brings some food for the rhinos at the water hole, where we have a close encounter with a family of rhinos and two hippos, the only we saw in Namibia.

Wide open spaces with a variety of wildlife.
Plateau is well worth the effort to scale.

The mountain alone is a sight not to miss!
I spent one night, out of my 10 days Namibia private guided tour, at Waterberg Plateau Park. The bird watching (the main purpose of our trip) one mid-afternoon/evening and the next morning, was excellent. I would have loved to stay longer to enjoy the wildlife as well as the great scenery. Especially the evening sun created an unforgettable image of the orange-colored mountain range majestically framing the area. Damara Dik-dik were wandering around not far from the neat houses of the rest camp, and we saw Baboons and Southern African Ground Squirrels on various occasions. You can find a list of the birds observed on ebird, and a choice of my photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/88593217@N04/albums/72157648777792800. A lovely quiet spot with a lot to detect. I can warmly recommend it.
The landscape is amazing. It was a privilege to see sable and roan antelope in addition to numerous other species at one of the hides. The educational center is well worth visiting and staying at if possible. Visited during the dry season.
The wildlife was more sparse on the Plateau but the views were stunning.

The amazing Waterbury Plateau
The beauty of Waterberg Plateau is astonishing. We have finished our trip in Namibia by this amazing site. The campground is probably one of the best in Namibia, large, quite. People are very nice on site.
Waterberg plateau is a place where you can both see wild life but also do some hiking and going up to the plateau throuh the forest is a gift. When you arrive at the top you can see the landscape around and a lot of animals, especially birds.
