Accommodation Venue - Vaalbos National Park(
Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation in Vaalbos National Park
/ Vaalbos National Park / South Africa )
The Vaalbos National Park is an extraordinary
area along the Vaal River where wildlife such as roan antelope,
black rhino, white rhino, buffalo, eland, red hartebeest and tsessebe
are to be seen in the former heart of the alluvial diamond diggings
near Kimberley. A tourist route, built with material from the
diamond diggings using local labour, winds through the park, exposing
visitors to all facets of its three different ecosystems as they
merge together as one. The name Vaalbos originates from the vaalbos
(camphor bush), a prominent plant species in the park.

to keep big herbivores out.
