In the midst of striking prehistoric settlements on the Matjulu Spruit, Berg-en-Dal camp has been built with care and preservation for the surrounding area - original San rock paintings still clearly visible from the hill shelters along the Bushman trail. The camp is flanked on the north and south by dry riverbeds and a dam, respectively, and trees alongside both, adding to the authentic wildlife ambiance enjoyed by guests. Berg en Dal camp is great for families as it is one of the rest camps with the most family cottages in the Kruger National Park.

Accommodation


• Tent and caravan sites have an electricity point. Communal ablutions and communal kitchen facilities are provided. Each camp site may host up to six people.
For tent and caravan sites, you need to provide your own tent and camping equipment, caravan or motor home. Some campsites allow for a tent only or caravan only, while others do allow for both. Please check your documentation to be sure that the correct type of campsite has been selected for your needs.

• Three-bed Bungalows, all with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms (only showers, no baths). Perimeter views from the kitchenettes are optional and need to be requested in advance, if available. All kitchenettes are standard with a hotplate, fridge and sink. Includes an outdoor braai/barbeque area.

• Six-bed Family Cottages are also offered, (two of them being wheelchair accessible). The air conditioned rooms have one double bed, two single beds and two bench beds/single sleeper couches in the lounge area. Each cottage has a private bathroom, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, lounge area, as well as an outdoor braai/barbeque area.

• The two Guest Houses occupy prime positions on the grounds. The kitchens are fully equipped with a microwave oven. Both Guest Houses have air conditioning. TVs are fitted with limited DSTV access. The J Le Roux Guest House has three bedrooms, each for 2 guests. The Rhino Guest House has four bedrooms, each for 2 guests.

Important to note - children under the age of six years old are not permitted on the safari game vehicles and children under the age of twelve year old are restricted from guided bush walks.

The Rhino perimeter trail camp walk is accessible to the blind with its Braille facilities, as well as being wheelchair accessible. Seasonal children’s educational programmes, nightly wildlife films and an eco-display in the reception all round-off this holistic holiday experience.

Facilities at the camp include information at the reception area, public telephones, a post box, restaurant, cafeteria, shop, an internet cafe, laundromat, filling station, communal kitchens and bathrooms, basic on-site first-aid assistance, auditorium and conference facilities, a day visitor picnic area in the camp and a swimming pool (available to overnight residents only).

What our guests have said about this accommodation

hennie steyn
We have a nice stay at Berg-en-Dal Restcamp except for almost been carried away by ants. They have to do something to that please.But apart from that, very nice..
Alan Currin
Absolutely perfect! Thank you!
CAROLINE GRACE
Had a super trip. The bathrooms and washing up area should be cleaned twice a day
PIENAAR DRY
It was a nice stay, we would recommend this camp to anyone. You will see us again.
Ann Hindle
We loved every minute of our trip and I would have rated it 5 except for one disappointment, when we arrived at camp reception we were told that we could not book a night drive etc., as we were only 2 people, in order to book you have to have a minimum of 4 people in your party. I asked why and got no response, the rule makes absolutely no sense to me.
petunia Mabuse
Beautiful quiet and neat house......the linen and towels were fresh smelling as was all the kitchen utensils
Peter Edwards
camp is not visually the most attractive, but the best game was spotted in the surrounding areas. Bungalow had the advantage of an indoor kitchen which aided in the fight against bugs.
Lindy Trollip
Love this campsite... Spacious and so peaceful! Amazing sightings always close by! Will be back soon.
Gerard Hanna
Went for my wife's 50th birthday weekend and she says it could not have wished for anything better.

Catherine Gendre
Very nice stay, we loved it.
Helma van Rooyen
We took overseas visitors to the Kruger Park during the hottest time of the year - crazy, I know. Berg-en-Dal bungalows were an oasis of cool restfulness. They were clean and a joy to visit. We also enjoyed the pool a lot.
Michael Sampson
Enjoyable.
Janine Herbst

Chris De b Rruin

Ross Fyffe
Bungalow was very adequate for our purposes, clean bedding and towels, comfortable beds and a very efficient air conditioner. Although on very hot nights a ceiling fan would have been a welcome addition to the furnishings.
Tony Klein
We had a party of 8 in the Rhino guest house. The lodge was immaculate and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would be good if the gas bar could be made to work and if WiFi could be made more accessible at the Reception.
Antoinette Myburgh

Rodrigo Paiva
Very easy to reach, near the south gate. It was the location where I saw the most amount of animals.
Liza Wilmot
We had a great stay in the park despite the heat wave. Our cabin was lovely, the staff friendly - a great short trip. Thank you.
JEANETTE MALEMELA

Gary Longshaw
As a group of 4 Adults and two children in 2 MP-V's we arrived early on the morning of October 1st at Malelane gate. The gate staff were friendly and professional, with even the assigned SAPS officer showing the kids the big skulls outside and telling them about the animals, while we went through the sign in motions. Our camp for the first night (Bergendal) was close to the gate, so we did a short circuit around the area before going there. The southern tip is teeming with a huge variety of wildlife, and we had seen three of the big five within a few hours. On arrival at Bergendal, the check in process was seamless, the staff were excellent, and the amenities at the camp were brilliant. The guest house we had booked was very clean, modern and comfortable with everything we needed and more. The following morning we headed North toward Skukuza taking a variety of back roads, to go to watering holes, viewpoints and hides. We reached Skukuza Around 1:pm and by then had seen Lion feeding, Elephant herds, several Rhino, Giraffe, all manner of Buck, and even a Cheetah. Skukuza was great, and we spent the evening having a barbecue. The only disappointment was there was no facility at the restaurant or bar to watch the Springboks play in the Rugby World cup. On previous visits there has always been facilities at the bar or Restaurant? The next day we drove toward Pretoriuskop leaving early, and completed our trip with a spectacular leopard sighting, no more than 10 to 15 meters away from us. All in another very memorable long weekend in the Kruger, I will keep coming back for more.
RODERICK CAIRNS

We had a stunning weekend, all the aspects of the game were good, pleasant, helpful staff all round. We were depressed to see the park so dry, but we really enjoyed ourselves.

Good Reception and value for money. Stood a long time at the gate entering as the day visitor quota was full and we did not know that we could pass. We saw a lot of animals but no lions/leopards.
FIONA MACPHERSON

Top agent - Jayson!
When I spoke to Jayson, my plans were very loose and had little to no information. Jayson was informative, patient and also provided numerous options as we continuously changed our mind. He finally provided us with an option for our honeymoon that ticked all the boxes. Don’t hesitate to speak to Jayson, the guy is a star!

Had an amazing safari at sabi sabi earth lodge. Worked with Dolan to secure the booking. He arranged the transport to and from the lodge as well and made sure dietary requirements were given to the lodge on arrival. Would give this 10 stars if I could.

Keagan was fantastic
Keagan was fantastic. Kind and patient and clever in figuring out my slightly off-kilter trip. I am a single mother, traveling with 3 of my grown kids and my sister and her daughter. They like adventure, I like a little luxury. But also, since I am paying for them all...I didn't want to over pay for our Safari adventure. Keagan got me and our hope for the long weekend. He was very thoughtful and understanding of my challenge of getting opinions from the dispersed group. All done for now...Next step we shall see how it all turns out. Best thanks,

Answer the questions I ask
I asked a very specific question about the travel insurance you are providing for a South African safari. I know South Africa has very specific requirements. I asked if the provided insurance met the South African requirements? Your reply was that you sell safaris not insurance. That is BS: and the answer is either a "Yes" or a "No."

Thank you Safari.com!
Keagan was who I liaised with for our safari booking, and needless to say he was extremely helpful. After our initial discussion, we wanted to make some changes and he went out of his way to find something that could accommodate us better. It was also a trip for my dad's 60th, and he arranged for a little celebration to be done at the lodge we were staying at, which was really really special. Thank you so much Keagan for helping us arrange such a memorable trip that we'll never forget! I highly recommend making your bookings with Safari.com, you definitely will not regret it.

I discovered safari.com by pure chance just scrolling through in line but it was lucky I did because they were excellent! In particular I need to give a shout-out to our agent Pascal. He helped us to find the write luxury safari lodge for us to spend our honeymoon (incidentally I would also recommend staying at Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge). He was very hands on always answering any questions we had in a timely manner. He was extremely helpful throughout and all of the travel plans went extremely smoothly without any hitches whatsoever. Would recommend booking with this company and going with Pascal if you can :)

I had the most incredible safari holiday experience in Kruger National Park, all thanks to the exceptional services provided by Pascal of Safari.com. From start to finish, he demonstrated a level of professionalism that left me impressed. The booking process was smooth, and he was always prompt in answering my queries, ensuring that everything was tailored to my preferences. The accommodations he arranged were top-notch, offering comfort and a close-to-nature experience that added to the magic of the trip. What stood out most was his commitment to delivering a high-quality experience. The safari itself was a mesmerizing journey, filled with memorable sightings of the Big Five and other fascinating wildlife. Pascal truly went above and beyond to make this a trip of a lifetime. I cannot recommend this agency enough for anyone looking to embark on a safari adventure. If you want a reliable, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience in Kruger National Park, look no further.

Luckily, We Hit the Jackpot!
Luckily, we found Safari.Com searching online for our Sabi Sabi Safari vacation and was contacted by their representative, Dolan Sequera. Our experience from the beginning to our final payment has been outstanding! Dolan was so efficient, knowledgeable and patient. Yes, we had tons of questions & worries and he was extremely prompt in his replies and putting us at ease. All aspects of our trip to Sabi Sabi and then to our time in Capetown he arranged. We are now ready for our trip to begin in a few weeks. We feel confident so far with all of the help from Dolan & Safari.Com. Once we return, we’ll post again.

Safari.com are the best for your African Safari holiday!
My experience with booking my Southern Africa tour with Safari.com was amazing. The Safari Consultant I was working with (special shout out to Keagan Davids) was the most helpful, responsive, polite and awesome person to work with. I originally tried to book a safari holiday with a local agent in Australia and was getting nowhere fast. I decided to do some leg work myself and put a request in for some advice on safaribooking.com. It was the best thing I could have done! I only wished I had planned my first half of the holiday with Safari.com given the ease and expertise they have provided. I highly recommend their service - you will not be disappointed!

Simply The Best
We are now home from our trip and am writing to thank you for organising such an amazing adventure. We cannot fault anything about the trip from start to finish. Buffalo Camp was fantastic - the accommodation, the food and the hospitality too but most of all our game drive guys who were awesome. We saw the ‘big 5” and more. Slon and Forest went above and beyond to find the animals we wanted to see. Then we transferred to Victoria Falls River Lodge and became part of a family. I can hardly find the words to describe it. From sitting in our plunge pool watching a crocodile swimming up the Zambezi to our helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and everything in between. What a beautiful place run by beautiful people. We were invited back by both Buffalo Camp and Victoria Falls River Lodge and hopefully we can do that in the not too distant future and if it becomes possible we will not hesitate to use Safari.com again. We truly recommend your services. Once again, thank you for organising the best holiday we have ever had and one we shall treasure forever. Best wishes.

Pascal should be your Go-to consultant - 5 stars
Pascal was wonderful to work with. We wanted to stay in Sabi Sands during peak season and were having a lot of trouble finding a great lodge to stay in. Pascal was able to find us a lodge that met our needs, call the lodge to ensure they had the rooms we wanted, book flights, transfers, etc. and was very attentive and easy to talk to. He made sure to get back to us quickly and when he said he would. He was always available and I would recommend using him and safari.com to anyone looking into a safari in the future.

Superb short Safari
We were referred to Safari.com through a UK safari holiday company. We were dubious at first about dealing with a company in South Africa but we found Safari.com and in particular Mr Keagan Davids, very easy to comunicate with. He was very communicative and made all the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, the safari lodge we'd booked got flooded out so Keagan found an alternative lodge Called Kapama River Lodge. It was great. Very nice accommodation. Great efficient and friendly staff etc. We were not disappointed. All of the arrangements went like clockwork so we'd highly recommend Safari.com

Booking for Addo Elephant Park…
I made a booking for Addo Elephant Park through Safari.com. The instructions were clearly conveyed to me regarding the payment of a deposit to secure the booking. The service received from the lady I dealt with was very professional. For example, upon requesting a change in accommodation type, the request was promptly attended to and I was informed accordingly which I noticed was outside office hours. Proof of secured accommodation was sent promptly and reminder for payment of balance was send well in advance of final date. Finally, once payment was cleared, I received the booking voucher as well as forms to be filled in by all passengers upon entrance as well as the conservation fees to be paid. All in all it was a pleasure to deal with Safari.com and we are looking forward to our stay in ADDO ELEPHANT PARK. Thank you.

Spending 40 years in the travel industry and taking several Safari to Kenya, my wife and I reached out to Dolan at Safari.com to help plan our S. African Safari to Kruger. Dolan handled all aspects of the planning including transfers to and from airport, plane reservations and lodging at the 5-star Leopard Hills lodge. With just a couple of emails he made the planning seamless. every aspect was on-time, and all responses were very timely. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend Dolan at Safari.com

Unorgettable trip in South Africa
We have spent 12 days as a family in South Africa with my 3 children and my wife who is in a wheelchair. Thanks to Pascal, Safari.com consultant, we were able to spend an unforgettable moment with a great program while being well accompanied despite our constraints. I recommand particularly the "Monwana game lodge" for a safari in Hoedspruit. It's an amazing place with very nice people and a real family atmosphere. Thank you to the entire Safari.com team for this unforgettable trip.

Cape Town miracle
I was in Cape Town, South Africa recently for an athletic competition and had allowed myself a week of personal time to relax and properly conclude the trip, but had not bothered to plan a safari to occupy the time. I was skeptical of the cost and whether I would enjoy the experience, however a couple days into that final week it occurred to me, in a bit of a panic attack, what a waste it would be not to take advantage of this opportunity. I hopped online and started looking at flights to Johannesburg (almost all the safaris in SA start there with an early morning pick up), but it was basically impossible to get a flight early enough and/or to coordinate with the multiple safaris operating in or just outside of Kruger. With no apparent options available to turn my remaining 4 1/2 days into even a 3 day safari I stumbled on the most obvious website one could imagine, Safari.com. I'd completely given up negotiating all the variables on my own but here was a safari travel agent that might be able to help me .. and they were based right out of Cape Town, literally a stones throw from my lodgings. Serendipity, or so i hoped. I immediately sent out an email and crossed my fingers .. for roughly an hour and a half, at which point Dolan from Safari.com responded to me requesting I give him a call so that we could expedite potential arrangements. My in country phone plan wasn't able to make calls, but we arranged for him to call me and not 3 hours after being in the grip of despair Dolan got through to me and far from notifying me of how absurd it was to hold out hope for a literally, last minute safari adventure with barely 4 days available to me, he had already worked out all the details I'd sent and created a preliminary safari trip that would bypass Johannesburg airport for a flight the next morning to a closer, much, much smaller airport where I would be picked up taken, not to a 3 day safari, but a full 4 day safari, then back to the tiny, tiny airport for a return flight to Cape Town with 2 hours to spare for my return leg all the way home. It almost feels like an afterthought, after the minor miracle Dolan was able to conjure up, but the safari itself at Simbavati Lodge was just an absolutely stunning experience. The single "tent" he booked me was as luxurious as any 4 star hotel I've stayed in, the game drives, one every morning, one every evening were more amazing than I could have ever imagined, and the food, 3 meals a day with snacks and an open bar was sublime. I could go on about the wonderful staff, or the wonderful other safari goers you can meet and grab a drink with, or the different animals walking through the open lodge facilities daily .. but I've gone on long enough. I'll simply conclude by saying .. safari, absolutely, yes, do it, it is amazing. And when you do decide, Safari.com will do you right and if you have the pleasure of working with Dolan, do give him my thanks .. the entire experience was the best part of my trip :)

A great company
What to say! We planned a South African Safari for 2020 with Safari.com. We researched companies and took a chance on one we had never heard of before. Henry Franklin was our agent, we gave him our budget and wish list. He came up with a wonderful looking trip and we made our choices! Then came Covid, preventing us from going. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Henry rebooked everything for the next year. He kept us updated on how things looked there. When in 2021, we decided it still looked iffy, he rebooked us a second time for 2022. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we had in a rough time for all. We had a wonderful experience on our trip when we finally got to go!! Henry had everything so well organized and gave us a detailed list of what transfer companies would be meeting us and when. When Airlink bumped us and put us on standby returning from Victoria Falls, we called the concierge number Henry had given us and Catherine worked hard on this and got us back on our flight. The Safari.com team had our back and we have no regrets. Would definitely use them again. Our lodging was wonderful, saw the big 5 within first 2 drives. Henry definitely knew the territory and did a great job matching what we wanted with where he suggested we go and stay. Thanks Safari.com, Henry and Catherine!

Superior service, knowledgeable, transparent, amazing can-do attitude
These guys get 10/10. I have booked with them a few times. To Kruger National Park, including both public and private(concession) camps, flights and car hire. Their senior agent, Dolan is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Attention to detail, transparency, and 'can-do' attitude are out of the ordinary. I recently came into contact with Tanya at safari.com as well. It looks like all their agents are similarly well trained. Thank you. I cannot recommend Dolan and his team highly enough.

Excellent service by the agent Jayson Scheffers (Africa Safari Expert). We had little idea of the place and things to do. He made it at all soo easy and planned it so well that it all went smooth. We had a baby with us so we were not sure about the things but he advised us well. All the hotels, pickups etc were well informed about our situation and we did not face any issues. He was always there to answer any questions 24/7. Very personalized service. Highly recommended.
