Geocache Description:

Bring your own pen (BYOP). BABOONS KEEP MUGGLING THIS CACHE SO PLEASE REPLACE SECURELY.

The cache is located in a quiet National Park situated in the Karoo, close to Cradock - an ideal get-away for a weekend. Camping or Chalets are available and booking is essential in season. The usual National Park fees apply. Entry with a Wildcard is free.

The craggy heights of the Mountain Zebra National Parks Bankberg embrace rolling plains and deep valleys, and have become an entrancing preserve for the Cape mountain zebra. The proclamation of the park in 1937 saved these animals from extinction, and currently their population stands at 300. Other animals found here include Cape buffalo, black rhino, eland, black wildebeest, red hartebeest and gemsbok, while mountain reedbuck and grey rhebok frequent the higher areas. In late May 2007, two adult female cheetahs were released and a month later this was followed by the release of a coalition of two adult males. In early January 2008 both females were seen with cubs of about 6 weeks of age.

THE CACHE: To find the cache, enter into the enclosed area and walk around to the back of the tallest "koppie". No rock climbing necessary.
