The surrounding area is rich in history. “The Waterberg Meander route starts here, at the most common entrance to the Waterberg plateau - the Sandrivierspoort, one of only five natural gateways into the hinterland.
Stretching to the west is the iconic view of the “Seven Sisters” one of the most photographed and painted images in the Waterberg. In reality there are many more sisters - buttresses of the Waterberg massif rising from the flat basin outside the southern escarpment. Here the journey of exploration begins. (With recognition to Waterberg biosphere).
