Summary

The majestic Waterberg plateau rises behind formidable ramparts that have long discouraged travellers and settlers from exploring it. Reputedly used by President Kruger as a conveniently remote place to exile troublesome burghers, this rugged and scenic upland remained unknown to most South Africans until its development in the past few years as an eco-tourism and hunting destination. Despite its prolonged isolation and sparse population from the earliest times, the Waterberg has experienced a long and vibrant history. Richly illustrated with maps and photographs, Waterberg Echoes not only takes the reader on historical journey through this beautiful landscape, but it also tells the stories of the remarkable people who first settled here, their tribulations from disease, agricultural challenges and governmental neglect.
