Description: Marakele National Park is a National Park that is part of the Waterberg Biosphere in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Accessible only by four wheel drive, Marakele is home to the big five as well as sixteen species of antelopes and 250 species of birds. The Matlabas River runs through the park. The area now constituting Marakele was home to several iron-age settlements which are not yet open to public viewing. Previous to its foundation as a National Park, it was home to naturalist Eugene Marais. Marakele was founded as Kransberg National Park in 1944 with the purchase of 150 acres (0.61 km²). By 1999, the park had expanded to 450 acres (1.8 km²).
