Mountain Zebra National Park
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Mountain Zebra National Park is an amazing hidden gem in the Eastern Cape Province, providing visitors with tranquility, beautiful scenery, pure Karoo air, and a myriad of wildlife. The rugged heights of the Karoo mountains allow you to embrace the rolling plains and valleys that are home to the Cape Mountain Zebra, a variety of antelope, African buffalo, black rhino, and cheetah. The park is situated only 12 kilometers from the historical town of Cradock.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is South Africa's private reserves: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
