SAN Parks Camping in Pretoriuskop Rest Camp – Kruger National Park

The Kruger Park is world famous. With an area of almost 20,000 km2, it is the largest game reserve in South Africa. It is for the most part located in Limpopo, the northernmost region of South Africa. A park where the treasures of South Africa in the form of archaeological finds, Bushmen rock paintings and animals and plants continue to surprise you every day.

This beautiful South African National Park where you will find 336 different trees is a home for a large number of animals. You will find 49 fish species, 34 amphibians, 114 species of reptiles, 507 species of birds and 147 different mammals including the world famous Big 5!

Beautifully red trees surround the camp among which special ‘for your exclusive use’ native herbs grow. The oldest camp at Kruger Park still radiates the same tranquility as in the distant past and old plants with their scents enhance that feeling of nostalgia.
