Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp

SANParks self-catering rest camp

Berg-en-Dal opened in 1984 as one of Kruger's "new generation" camps, deliberately built with low-profile buildings set among granite hillsides and flowering aloe gardens rather than following the older colonial-style camp layout. A guided Bushmans Trail walking safari departs from here.

What sets it apart

The most architecturally modern of Kruger's rest camps, built to sit low in its granite-hillside setting rather than dominate it.

Who it suits

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
