Mokala National Park lies approximately 80 km south-southwest of Kimberley, and west of the N12 freeway to Cape Town. You'll find it just off the N12 en route to Hopetown, set in amongst koppieveld (isolated dolerite hills) and expansive, sandy plains to the north and west of the park.
Did you know? There are no predators or ‘big’ game (like elephants) but the slow pace, and fewer tourists, means that your visit is pure peace.
Mokala National Park is one of South Africa's newest National Parks, proclaimed only in 2007. It is also informally known as the park where endangered species roam, because of its breeding and re-allocation of animals for use in other national parks and game reserves. The landscapes are a gentle mix of both Karoo and the Kalahari landscapes, whilst from the hills drain small tributaries that merge into the Riet River.
