	SA Tours & Safaris (Pty) Ltd • Marakele National Park
		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.

		The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is situated in the southern Kalahari, with 73% lying in Botswana and the remainder in South Africa.
		The vastness of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park allows the nomadic ungulate populations and their predators to maintain themselves in balance with their environment, consequently there is little need for extensive management intervention.
		The transfrontier park has built up a deserved reputation as one on the few ecosystems in southern Africa where a variety of large predators can be maintained, with leopard, brown and spotted hyena, lion and cheetah all being well represented.
