Waterberg Plateau Park, located near Otjiwarongo in Namibia, is a stunning natural reserve known for its dramatic sandstone plateau rising over 200 meters above the surrounding plains. Established in 1972, the park covers an area of approximately 405 square kilometers and serves as a sanctuary for a wide variety of wildlife, including rare and endangered species such as the black and white rhinos. The plateau's unique ecosystem supports lush vegetation, contrasting sharply with the arid landscape below.
The Hoba meteorite, located near Grootfontein in Namibia, is the largest known intact meteorite on Earth.
