Pretoriuskop Rest Camp

I stayed for two nights at this camp. The bed was very comfortable and the room, bed linen and ablutions were very clean. I enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the Wimpy restaurant on site. The meals were awesome and the staff very friendly. The game drives were not that enjoyable as the undergrowth was very thick. I ended up going to the water hole situated about 10 miles on the Skukuza road where it was peaceful and let the game come to me. They have a well equipped laundry at the camp that uses R5 coins x 5 which is handy. My only complaint was that I was in a unit with adjacent rooms and the one air conditioning unit was very noisy for the entire night. I did however sleep through it. Also enjoyed a swim in the pool. I will stay here again.

This is a really nice rest camp, good service from the staff and it's a great location in general. The camp is clean and well maintained. The shop has everything you'd need with some nice souvenirs to take home as memories. Good game viewing in the area if you take the time to do so. The bird life in the area is also a treat.

Pretoriuskop Rest Camp in the Kruger Park has its charm but also some clear challenges. The units are lovely and were spotless, though they could use a modern update. The camp itself feels neglected and not as well-maintained as it once was, which is a bit disappointing. That said, the shop is excellent and has everything you might need, and the swimming pool is probably one of the best in the park—though the area around it could use some TLC. The staff are friendly and clearly doing their best with the resources available, which is commendable. The biggest letdown, unfortunately, is the Wimpy. It hasn’t seen a makeover in years, and everything about it feels a bit "meh." The service is slow, likely due to being understaffed, much like the rest of the camp. The owner of the Wimpy really needs to step up to bring it back to standard. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed our stay. Pretoriuskop has potential, but it needs some investment to bring it back to its former glory.

Hi fellow campers, in 2019 we came into the Kruger by the Numbi gate, and it was quite a mission to drive through the settlement with all those bumps. However we didn't have any problem back then. Not sure I will use that gate again. It's the oldest camp in the Kruger and it is a nice place to start our Kruger adventure.

I loved every second staying in a self-catering rondawel at this camp. Everyone was extremely friendly, courteous and just radiated happiness. One elderly lady even gave us the biggest avocado I’ve ever seen in my life. Super tasty too. The shop had the best braai packs as well and each rondawel has its own braai. I honestly cannot complain about anything. The room was clean and perfect for our needs. The communal kitchen was in good order. We even heard lions roar and hyenas cackle in the early hours of the morning. Just WOW! 🤩

I stayed at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp, and unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. There is no shared fridge available for guests, so you either have to pay for one or go without. The huts are borderline acceptable in terms of comfort, and if neighbors are having a barbecue, the smell of meat seeps into the room. Internet access is only available in the restaurant, which is far from most accommodations. Shared toilets and showers were quite dirty and poorly maintained, with broken towel racks and no place to keep your towel while showering. Compared to other rest camps in Kruger Park, this was a disappointing experience. I would not return.

I must thank the staff for organizing the setup for our braai at the Bungelow. The evening turned out to be perfect. The guests enjoyed it immensely. The office staff were kind and efficient.

What a wonderful experience! The two reception ladies went out of their way to assist with finding the correct accommodation for us! Well done!
