Pretoriuskop Rest Camp

My first Kruger accommodation experience and I was very pleasantly surprised. Such a beautiful environment, clean and maintained. Braai outside our chalet at night was just sublime, Curio shop is stocked with EVERYTHING you need, and well priced. Advised to book your cutlery pack in advance as they run out quickly when it's busy. Wimpy was not your normal Wimpy experience... we had one of the most tasty and satisfying dinner meals there, and the daily breakfast coffee stop with the lovely, fun team was very special. Thank you for making our stay so memorable, we will be back.

We just stayed in Pretoriuskop Restcamp for 3 nights while visiting Kruger National Park. The accomodations were as advertised; a 2 star hotel. But if all you are looking for is a place to sleep while exploring and view the experience as a "cabin" type of accommodation then it's acceptable. There are bugs and/or lizards in the rooms (check your bed before getting in), the water pressure is dismal, and some of the doors don't lock. We lost power for a day and a half off and on. They purposely turned off the power overnight that had been running from a generator which meant we didn't have air conditioning for one night which wasn't ideal. Most of our party didn't mind though. The service at the fast food restaurant is not great but the food was okay. Everyone was very nice, including the staff in the store and the rangers. We stayed in the guest house area which had a building that was a common area with a kitchen and living room and then the sleeping quarters were solo buildings with two bedrooms and one bathroom in each. ||The location for game viewing was a great starting point. On our drives we saw a leopard right outside the gate as well as elephants. And we were able to quickly get to areas that had lions, zebras, rhinos, hippos, etc. I'm not sure if the rangers are assigned to specific camps but ours were great for our late evening drive and very early morning walk. We saw an aardvark which is unheard of. ||If you're fine with roughing it, then it's worth staying here. Just don't expect hotel amenities and upgraded rooms.

Staff were friendly and lovely location. We camped for 2 nights. The ablutions had lovely showers with plenty of space in shower for soap and shampoo. Unfortunately, they had mops to clean showers that were very old and dirty and in urgent need of replacement.

We did not stay the night so I can't comment on the accommodation, but the camp has such a lovely vibe. It really feels like the Kruger I remember from when I was a kid, you really feel like you are in the bush, not over developed or overcrowded.

The ablutions are nice and clean, they say they clean it hourly. They just don't have a space where you can put your bag or clothes when you take a shower. There is a laundryroom that workes with coins. They also have a shop and a Wimpy.

Abultion facilities are not bad, camping layout is a bit weird and on slopes causing issues when it rains. Campsites very ontop of each other but many motorhomes dont fit. Camp is doable and not unpleasant.

Basin plug.has no seal so water leaks out - p trap on basin blocked - rubbish bin in hut broken - geyser out of action in communal kitchen so washed dishes in cold water for five days - was told that they were waiting on spares from Skukuza for geyser. The other communal kitchen had a kettle for hot water as the urn was out of order there, not sure for how long - Will definitely not book in here again.

Love this place. You can have a epic holiday on a budget. The facilities ore clean. And staff very helpful and friendly.
