Northern Cape
Escape to Mokala National Park – Tranquillity, Wildlife & a Touch of History
Tucked away in South Africa’s Northern Cape, just south of Kimberley, Mokala National Park is a hidden gem for those seeking peace, pristine landscapes, and close encounters with wildlife. Spend three nights at the charming Lilydale Rest Camp, perched above the Riet River, where wide-open skies and sweeping savannahs set the tone for a truly relaxing escape.
Mokala is renowned for its conservation of endangered species such as roan and sable antelope, white and black rhino, and tsessebe—offering rewarding game-viewing in a quieter, less-crowded setting. Between morning and afternoon drives, enjoy the serene river views right from your chalet’s veranda.
During your stay, take a day trip to Kimberley, just over an hour away. Explore the city’s fascinating diamond mining history with a visit to the Big Hole and its excellent museum, stroll through historic streets, and discover the heritage that shaped South Africa’s past.
Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a history buff, or simply in search of calm, Mokala and its surrounds offer a unique blend of adventure and tranquillity.
