Staying at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp
Price confirmed for your travel dates on enquiry
This 3-day safari from Johannesburg spends two nights inside Kruger National Park at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp, kruger's oldest rest camp, among granite hills 9 km from Numbi Gate in the south-west. Staying in a rest camp means you wake up in the park, ready for the first game drive as the camp gates open.
You travel by road from Johannesburg or Pretoria and enter the park at Numbi Gate, 9 km from the camp, with game viewing on the way to camp. A full day with your guide in an open safari vehicle follows, and a final morning drive before the journey home. Sightings are never guaranteed.
The price, the unit type at Pretoriuskop and the meal basis are confirmed for your travel dates when you enquire.

We collect you from your Johannesburg or Pretoria accommodation early in the morning for the road journey east into Mpumalanga. You enter the park at Numbi Gate, 9 km from the camp, and your guide begins the game drive as soon as you are in the park.
You reach Pretoriuskop Rest Camp in the afternoon to check in, with time to settle before the camp gates close. The evening is yours at the camp.
Overnight: Pretoriuskop Rest Camp
Set out as the camp gates open for a full day in the park with your guide in an open safari vehicle. Your guide explores the granite hills and woodland around Pretoriuskop, home to sable, eland and Lichtenstein's hartebeest, and the roads towards the Sabie River for elephant, buffalo and big cats.
You return to Pretoriuskop before the camp gates close for your second night in the park.
Overnight: Pretoriuskop Rest Camp
Join a SANParks sunrise drive in an open vehicle, which leaves the camp about half an hour before the gates open and lasts about three hours, when animals are most active. Then check out of Pretoriuskop Rest Camp and leave the park for the road journey back to Johannesburg or Pretoria, arriving in the evening.
Rates depend on your travel dates, group size and room type. Send us your dates and we will confirm the rate for this safari.
You stay two nights at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp, a SANParks camp inside Kruger National Park. The camp has a restaurant, cafeteria and shop, a filling station, a laundromat, communal kitchens and a swimming pool. There is no ATM. Unusually for Kruger, the camp keeps red-flowering and exotic trees in its gardens, an exception to the park's indigenous-only planting policy. The unit type is confirmed for your travel dates.
Pretoriuskop is in the south-western corner of Kruger, near Shabeni Hill. Numbi Gate is 9 km from the camp, about 20 minutes' drive. From central Gauteng the drive to Numbi Gate takes about 4 to 5 hours via the N4, R40 and R538, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport is about 50 km from the gate.
Return road transfers from Johannesburg or Pretoria, two nights at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp, three guided game drives in an open safari vehicle and Kruger conservation fees are included; the meal basis is confirmed in your quotation.
Staying in a rest camp means you sleep inside Kruger National Park, so you are already in the bush when the camp gates open in the morning.
The higher, wetter granite country around Pretoriuskop suits sable, eland and Lichtenstein's hartebeest, and the rare red duiker and oribi also occur here. SANParks offers guided bush walks and game drives from the camp, and the Napi Wilderness Trail starts from here. Sightings are never guaranteed.
