Rest camps · Kruger National Park
Rated 4.2/5 by 568 guests.
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.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.
The camp
• 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.
Berg-en-Dal Camp offers adventure in the form of guided bush walks and safari game drives, all under the supervision of well informed and keen professional field guides. 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).
The luxury alternative
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the private reserves of the Greater Kruger: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.

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.

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.

As usual the KNP was great. The only criticism we have is the fact that the manager of the Wimpy at Pretoriuskop decided to erect a jumping castle on the lawn between the Wimpy and the shop. Instead of listening to the birds (who are now gone) we were irritated by an air compressor while having breakfast. The manager was very proud of his initiative, even after I called him an idiot. I will visit the park again next year but out of principle will avoid Pretoriuskop. The manager of the camp was not available when I requested to speak to him.

Berg & Dal is a wonderful camp to stay in. The chalets here are some of the best Kruger Park has to offer. Ask for one of the upgraded chalets (units 20 to 33). They are quite a bit bigger than the older ones and have a huge shower and separate toilet. The beds are not built into the walls like in the older ones and can be moved together, and the undercover patio is great. We stayed in no 25 (a three bed chalet) on the perimeter, which was awesome. The camp is just a bit far from the other camps so be prepared to spend many hours driving. We love going to Lower Sabie (where we could not find accommodation) as you see a lot of animals there, and found it very effective to get there by exiting at Malelane gate and re-entering at Crocodile Bridge gate. On that tar road up to Skukuza we saw the Big Five and a lot of other animals within a morning's drive.

I found the kitchen utensils to be very limited as well as serving bowls, but overall we managed. It is the bush afterall. Everything else was very comfortable and cannot complain.

The park was beautiful as always. The berg en dal camp needs to up its game but it is easy to do. The unit was old, dingy and hopelessly under-equipped. It needs an oven, proper crockery, knives, containers and proper cooking utensils. It did not even have the basics and we had to buy our own knives, mixing bowls, bottle opener etc fromt he shop - which is not on. This is very simple to rectify. Our toilet overflowed and flooded the inside of the house, as did the drain outside which flooded the braai area. The maintenance guys said the plumbing is old and often gives problems. The units could do with television - people will not use it if they don't want to but it helps with small kids and keeps them quiet so that others in the camp don't have to deal with their boredom. The linen, position of the unit, basic service and shop/restaurant/pool facilities were spot on.

I had a good trip and stayed at the various Camping Sites. The roads both Tar and Dirt are in very poor condition from all my previous visits as thus able to make this comment, if in normal cars be aware of this especially on the Dirt Roads, I eventually stayed off them and missed a lot of viewing. The camps are getting run down, but the people are good and very helpful. I was disappointed that the camp Sites are not controlled and others take up more space that they are allocated or just used up two Sites and people were forced to miss out, others were obviously taking up two Power Points for Electricity and I had to miss out despite asking them to unplug one Lead, rude and uncaring but them Kruger should police this aspect. There is a lot of noise in the Camps despite being asked to tone it down, Radios - Generator and boozing into the nights. Another Camping Only site had a couple with visitors and the loud attitude was not appreciated, we are there for the wild life and experience the wild night life, not some afrikaans couple shouting screaming their heads off and not caring when several others asked them quiet down.Over all a good trip despite the poor road attitude in blocking bother sides of the road when they see something of interest and others either cannot get a look in or pass them, another real difficulty.would I go again YES YES YES, but be aware and make some plans.

Our chalet was not properly stocked, with crockery and cutlery missing which the reception knew about. House keeping did not wash all dishes on 2 days and left unpacked which was not as previous visits. Our morning game drive booking was done incorrectly which caused stress at 4h45 in the morning which was not a great start. However as always, the bush is certainly a treat and we will definitely be back soon.

No signage to the effect. Result was we drove additional 150 km's with damage to caravan. Also no information offered re road closures when checking in at Satara.2 nights at Skukuza - Enjoyable.Overall experience. Kruger has gone backwards since 4 years ago. Speed limits seem to apply to tourists only and not Park officials.Game drivers rude and offensive and they drive like tow truck drivers. Not value for money any more when driving 2000 km's to get there from Hermanus.

We loved our three days in Berg-en-Dal. The accommodation was lovely and peaceful with daily visits by a dwarf mongoose and her little one, loads of birdlife from our patio and a beautiful dam in which we saw hippo, waterbuck, crocodile, bushbuck, much bridlife and many water birds. The area abounds with rhino and elephant and we even saw leopard and lion but the birdlife was particularly exciting and we marked off many species on our birdlist - my son is now a hooked twitcher! The night drive is really worth doing - just remember to take along warm clothes. On the downside, the lack of a microwave in the kitchen; and the restaurant facilities at Skukuza were disappointingly bad. It's time that a franchise operation took over and ran the place in a more professional manner. Overall, a lovely camp in a lovely location and well-run.

We were a multinational party of seven people from the USA, the UK and SA. Visiting the KNP is, as always, an exceptional experience, the weather, except for one violent evening storm whilst on a night drive, was good, the accommodation was adequate and the Park was teeming with game in the south.The experience was marred only by being refused permission to go on a bush walk, due to our age. We are in our 60's. Despite being allowed before (about two years ago - when I was over 60).We all regarded this as age discrimination, the bush walks are gentle strolls through flat terrain at a leisurely pace. We are all healthy, and frequent and experienced walkers through far rougher terrain and more difficult conditions.The receptionist did make mention of possible doctor's certificate certifying that we are fit, which obviously (although one of our party is a doctor), it was too late to do at that stage, although may have been possible had we known of this before we arrived.I think some further thought on the matter of a global age exclusion would be sensible.

Kruger National Park is fantastic for the amount of game, the roads, the excellent game drives on offer. We saw so many elephant, and I know that has its problems, but they are beautiful. There are two negatives. The food on offer is poor quality and the same menu on offer in the whole region is ridiculous. The other negative is the very off-hand manner in which visitors are received at the entry gates, when paying the exorbitant conservation fee. The reception staff, in particular the females, really need to work on their service skills.Most of the staff in the shops and restaurants were helpful and the guides on the game drives were wonderful. The park has amazing potential to boost the economy through overseas tourists. Please don't let poor attitudes and over-commercialization spoil the experience.

We paid for a sunset game drive and experienced hostility and aggressive attitude from the game driver. We were 6 adults over 60 years, and 2 visitors from Australia (of which my son was one)with me on the truck.The driver was hostile, unpleasant and very bosy and made our experience negative. We were instructed to NOT talk and sit down at all times and only use our cell phones to contact each other. That was absurd.The first siting was a leopard walking alongside the truck for 300 meters. Some of us were on the other side of the truck and could NOT stand or move to the side where the leopard was seen. The dirver personaaly reprimanded me like a child and told me to sit down and keep quiet or he will leave the siting.He spoke to the rest of the visitors on thr truck in the same manner. People ended up staying in their seats and missed the sitting if it was not on oyur side of the truck.It was not possible to take photos - the event was missed. The next animal was a lioness and we were qgiven the same orders and treatment. We were treated like children on a bus trip with the coach. His negative and aggressive attitude made our experience not only unpleasnat but not worth the money we paid for the drive. The Austrailians expressed it as neagtive, unpleasant customer service and care and will not refer otners to visit the Park based on their first expereince.I told the driver that we needed to be given better service for our money and time spend.Personllay I will not take visitors from outside south africa to the Park again, because Raymond said this is how things are done at all the Camp site(this is bad advertisement for the kruger National Park).The comment the visitors made was 'never again'.It must be emphasised that customer care and service is priority and staff who interact with clients must be skilled and competent interms of customer relations, communication and interaction to enable profesisonal service to be provided

She immediately changed it and we had a ball. Saw every animal we were hoping to see on our early morning drives. We saw leopards lying in the street, one had a baby and was walking along the roadside. We saw a hyena mama lying in the road with 4 babies playing around her.That was so fantastic!.2 female lions was walking on the s114 .Every morning 2 male lions were lying near the road as if they were waiting for the visitors to come and say hello.

The stay at Kruger Park was as per normal most enjoyable. The bungalow was ideal and the Berg-En-Dal camp was perfect, the shop was well stocked and our every need was catered for.As far as the Park was concerned we saw most of everything, the Cheetah's and Wild Dog once again eluded us, the good news is that we have to return to try and sight them. The major concern was that some members of the public disregard the park closing times and then have to speed to make it before closing which in many cases was dangerous, on one occasion an Impala was almost collided with, I reported the matter to the Satara camp manager.We will be back, I have already booked our bungalow for December 2012.

We stayed at Berg-en-dal from the 21/12/2011-26/12/2011. The camp was very busy so we had to look for the last available stand. No shade! It's best then to check in early as most checks out early. The Facilities were okay. It is just that our fellow campers don't feel the need to clean the shower and toilets after use. Wonder how their houses look! I prefer staying at the Sattelite camps in future as you are more in contact with the wildlife as in the main camps. But thank you to Kruger for giving us another wonderful bush experience.

The pool was well maintained and a great design, ideal for little kids and adults alike, most enticing after a hot drive in the Park. And the wildlife and landscapes were diverse and rich. We were most impressed and will certainly visit again. Well done to the Kruger team!Most amazing of all was seeing a 'herd' of 12 white rhino very near to the camp. Perhaps they are learning, safety in numbers and ganging up on poachers!

Morning. Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to give feedback. I suggest that customers are clearly informed about conservation fees when they book their stay at KNP. At other resorts the fee paid for the camping spot is the only fee, and therefore the conservation fee was unplanned money out of our pockets. Otherwise our stay was very pleasant except for the drunk drivers near the swimming pool for daily visitors who sped past us and almost hit the Kudus we were looking at. They also through a beer bottle out of their car and hooted for a woman who was taking a photo of a crocodile on a narrow bridge. They were clearly only at KNP to make use of the swimming pool and not to view the beautiful nature scenes.

Thank you, I have been meaning to write since our return. Our trip this year was a huge disappointment in fact it was a disgrace. There was no electricity for the entire duration of our stay which was a Friday to a Monday, which meant we had no stove to cook on, no hot water to shower with and obviously absolutely no light. My food went off and I had to throw away so much meat, milk and salad things. The manager did not send us a note apologising or explaining the situation, not even a candle or a match was to be found in the camp. The staff were also absolutely unapologetic, lethargic and unfortunately slack. I really hope something is going to be done and my mail is going to be taken seriously. We also subsequently heard that the generator was broken. Regards

The accommodation in this camp is top notch and the best by far - it had everything we needed cutlery, crockery and a beautiful view. On arrival I checked in and sat down at the restaurant for lunch by the end of the meal we could not pay as the electricity was out - we had to return later to pay, I do not like carrying cash on me as I have been mugged numerous times - with the power being out this meant I could only pay my conservation fees the next day and on arrival at our bungalow there was no electricity. The staff could not indicate how long the outage could last and they closed the shop during outages. The power continued to go on and off throughout the day and partly through the night. One thing I can say is the staff were very helpful in making everyone comfortable and are very friendly. This part of the park is very dry so it is quite a challenge to find animals but when you do finally see them it i s definitely worth it - we saw most of the bigger animals down this side of the park.

One concern that there is signs in the bathrooms asking to use water sparingly as its a precious resource but during our 2 night stay the cleaning staff used the hoses to wash down the surrounding area and patio and also left it running unnecessarily.

We would not go back to Berg en Dal.

It helped that we were very lucky with our sightings, and that my two small kids were in awe of the place.Coming back soon, only thing I will change is that I am going to stay a lot longer.

We have just spent 4 wonderful days in the Kruger.When visiting any National Park one always wants to see as much as possible.We were truly blessed during these 4 days. We not only saw a variety of animals but in quantities as well. The majority of our sightings were on the main road (tarred road) between Berg-en-Dal and Skukuza. This included lions, hyena, a Southern Ground Hornbill and a pair of Secretary birds. Perhaps we were fortunate that the grass was not very high.It just goes to show that it is not always necessary to travel on the gravel roads and a visitor does not need a 4 by 4 to seen animals.

A well managed camp with remarkable game viewing at the dam in front of the camp. With more water in the dam than at our previous visits we saw 11 species of game in one day just standing at the fence by the dam. The elephant especially gave us a stunning display of habits and even rolling in the mud. The restaurant offers good food and value for money. Game viewing was good with plenty of buffalo and rhino too. The road up to the dam is in poor condition but I am sure it will be better as soon as it is graded again.

The Berg-en-Dal rest camp is probably one of KP's best camps in that the chalets are of a very nice size with all amenities one requires & for its quietness. Most chalets face the fence near the river which are great for game viewing from each chalet. A nice walk can be taken in around the rest camp within the perimeter fence which is nice for game viewing and bird watching. A very nice and well stocked shop and nice restaurants with a deck which overlooks the dam. Would definitely go back to Berg-en-Dal.

The facilities are also poorly equipped and not up to international standards. Come on National Parks you can do better than this.

The baboons were a nightmare in the camp. Ripped our tent open 2 days in a row to see if there was any food inside and when reported to the office we were told the they can't do anything about it. We were not the only people suffering a loss due to the baboons that jumped the fences. There were another 5 campers that we know of that suffered losses due to the baboons. Surely they can make a plan as it was the same 3 baboons doing the damage. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay in the whole of the park and was impressed by the tidyness of the KNPin general.

Ons was onlangs vir twee weke in Berg-en-Dal wat 'n belewenis was - behalwe vir die badkamer geriewe. Ek het 'n seuntjie van amper 4 en 'n dogtertjie van 1jr. Daar is net 1 bad en 3 storte vir seker 25 staanplekke. Die kamp was deurentyd redelik vol en daar het gereeld toue gestaan vir die bad en storte. Wat my grootste probleem was, was dat die spasie in die bakhokkie baie klein is en daar is ook nie 'n blad waarop ek veral my dogtertjie kon aantrek nie. Ek het rugprobleme en boonop moes ek heeltyd op my kniee/hurke gaan om haar te versorg - op die grond. Ek voel net dat die spasie groter moet wees asook geriewe om 'n baba te versorg. Daar was baie ma's wat veral oor die probleem gekla het. Verder is die storthokkies ook baie klein en die stortgordyn is nie voldoende om te keer dat jou klere en ander goed nat word nie. My bejaarde ouers het saam ons gekamp. My moeder loop baie stadig en met 'n kierie. Aan die onderkant van die badkamers - aan die pad se kant - is GEEN beligting nie en die grond tot by die ingang van die badkamer is vol klippe en baie ongelyk. Ek voel daar moet voldoende beligting wees asook dat die ingang eerder aan die onderkant van die gebou by die pad moet wees. Bogenoemde "probleme" het die toegang tot die badkamer vir my moeder baie bemoeilik. Ek wil net noem dat as ek en my man alleen was, was dit 'n ander saak. Maar daar is gereeld besoekers met klein kindertjies en bejaardes en dan is die geriewe nie na wense en maklik begaanbaar vir hulle nie. Ons was in die 2 weke by ander kampe aan en glo my die geriewe daar is BAIE meer toeganklik en geriefliker vir ALLE gebruikers.Verder het ons 'n lekker tyd in die wildtuin gehad.Groete.

All was great except the food! The overseas tourists are the ones entering the park and eating at your restaurants. I personally got food poisoning from eating in one of your restaurants. Whoever the company is that is supplying that food is ripping the KNP off! Where is the old fashioned 3 course meal we used to get in the park? What a pity this is no more. Why not get one of our SA franchises (or many) to supply the food. Nandos would be great!

Service from receptions extremely slow. Seeing that you have booked and paid everything in advance.

Berg-en-Dal was great and comfortable and beautifully laid out so that we felt as though we were still out in the bush. We saw lots and lots of animals, I think they all came out to say Hi to my grandson, 15 years old, first time in the bush and absolutely loved every minute.I have only one small criticism and that was the Sunset Drive. Our driver was very well informed and very friendly but he undertook to travel too far and so drove too quickly. It just became a drive through the night trying to keep as warm as possible. It would be much better to cover less distance and actually see some game.But we had a wonderful trip and will definitely be back. Dianna

Our stay in the Berg-en-Dal camp was very enjoyable. The bungalow was neat and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. The only problem that we had in the bungalow was that the kitchen sink was blocked, but that was cleared up the next day.If they can just open all the tills in the shop during peak hours, it would be much appreciated.

Our chalet was great and close to the fence just a pity that we had the noise from the campsite. Kettle was broken but replaced and when we used both hotplates with kettle the electricity would drop. Overall good clean bedding, and kitchen and lots of animals. I would suggest supplying another salad bowl as I had only one for fruitsalad and the green salad had to go into a cooking pot. A colander is always useful too when self catering.

We had problems with the baboons in the rest camp, although we locked all our food in the trailer away. Only the fridge and freezer were in the tent. We closed the fridge with a rope but not the freezer. The baboons came into our tent and opened the freezer and took some food out there. They tore our tent when they could not get out of the tent. We wrote the complain in the complain book at reception. We read all the pamphlets and tried to make the food unreachable for the baboons but they are far more clever than we thought.

The lady that served us in the restaurant was also extremely unfriendly. The drains were blocked, but after reporting, it was quickly attended to. Kitchen is nicely stocked with utensils.

Berg en Dal is a great camp and LeRoux a wonderful facility when guests are part of the stay. HOWEVER the unit although very comfortable is in need of some updating and a little more care would see it being restored to first class status.Saw loads of game which was wonderful for our guests again HOWEVER some of the dirt roads were very badly corrugated and quite unpleasant - I found the posted excuse in many areas very lame.Overall a wonderful experience again!

We stayed in caravan camp. Staff and general setup was good, as we have come to know it over the years (40+). Shower facilities a bit cramped. Main problem was with vervet monkeys. They really were a menace. Stole food off our table in our presence and broke into a neigbour's caravan, although it was locked. they tore the gauze top and got in. This is something that needs serious attention.

The camp was great but the game drive from Berg-en-dal was terrible. The guide was totally uninterested in showing up anything. He hardly explained, and when we said goodbye I had to repeat myself twice before he condescended to answer. Obviously he is not responsible for the little we saw, but he could have told us about the night animals we saw and also the ones we did not see. It was a miserable experience and we couldn't wait to get back to the camp. There was a shortage of guides that night possibly due to the soccer game which perhaps he resented missing!

As always the stay and nature scenes are above expectation. Some troublesome observations was the speed wich the park officials/personel travel in their vehicles in the park itself. This was a daily observation with many KNP vehicles, amongst other passing us while we were traveling at 40Kph dirt roads and 50 on tarred surfaces. One other thing that is the Mens showers at Berg en Dal campsite that`s terrible whilst showering with alternating between hot and cold water? Other than that it`s always a pleasure visiting.Thank you

On arrival we realised that the power point was not fit for a normal 3 point plug, except of having a caravan plug, so it would be advisable to inform people camping by tent to obtain a caravan plug. Because we had to sleep in the vehicle the first night, because we couldn't set up the tent in the dark.

We found the bathrooms to be dirty. The checklist had not been signed for weeks and an earlier comment about the bathrooms being filthy had not been followed up. The general camp has a derelict air about it. Hot water in the showers were pathetic. Also the picnic spots all seem to be going backward. this I have been noticing over a couple of years now. The Nkuthlu and Afsaal picnic spots in particular. These sites are very busy and not looked after. Shops have no stock.

The service at the BnD cafetaria was considerably faster than last year, a point on which I complained about last time. Thanks for the improvement. The only problem this time is that there was only one official processing entries into the park at Malelane gate on the Friday evening, which is probably a peak time, and it took us 15 minutes to get through.

Accommodation was brilliant and I would like to stay there again next year. All over the Kruger where we ate at Olifants Camp, Satara, Skukuza, Lower Sabie, Pretoriuskop and Berg en Dal, the food was beyond pathetic. It was an embarrassment as a South African to think we will expose foreign tourists to such bad food. Skukuza and Lower Sabie was the ultimate in bad experiences for us. I would suggest close down all the restaurants and go out on tender to allow franchises to run the fast food and restaurant sections. They will be out to make money. I am not of the opinion of what I have seen, that the aim of the restaurants in the Kruger are to make a profit. The costs are expensive for poor quality and I emphasise poor quality. The presentation as well as the preparation is poor. The last night we did not want to braai and we decided against eating in the restaurant as we knew the experience would have been bad. It is a pitty. I think nobody has a problem to pay for good quality and good service. At Satara the service was really bad. On both occasions I went there to eat something, I had to go and look for a waiter to come and take my order. I saw several other tables experiencing the same problem on both occasions.

If you want to get away from the "wild animals" who live in the city, get to the Kruger Park for some peace and tranquility. It was the first time for us to stay at the Berg en Dal camp site, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I would say that it will become one of our favourite camp sites in the Kruger, the other being Letaba.

Stayed for a night in Berg-en-Dal before moving on to the Bushman Camp for 2 1/2 days of bush walking. Close encounters with rhino (after 15 minutes on the first day!) elephant and buffalo with lots of other buck including kudu. Many birds. Fantastic experience which was enhanced by guide Nicol Coetzee and his team who shared their knowledge and passion. Much better than driving around in a vehicle.

Overall it was a great experience the only one problem which made it not an exceptional experience was the food at both the Berg-en-Dal and Skukuza camps this I am afraid to say not just bad but shocking. As we did both sunrise and sunset drives both 3hr each as well as our own drive for 3 hours this left little energy to make our own food so the resturants would have been much appreciated should the food have been at least edible.
