Waterberg Plateau at Waterberg Plateau National Park, in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia, Africa. The plateau is largely inaccessible so in the early 1970's several of Namibia's endangered species were translocated here to protect them from predators and poaching to extinction. The programme was very successful and Waterberg now supplies other Namibian parks with rare species. In 1989, Black Rhino were reintroduced to the area from Damaraland, sparking a successful breeding programme of national and international significance for the species.
