Berg-En-Dal

Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp sits on the banks of the Matjulu Spruit in the south-western corner of Kruger National Park, framed by rocky hills, dry riverbeds, and the distinctive Malelane Mountain Bushveld.

Opened in 1984, its name means "mountain and dale," a fitting description of the rugged terrain surrounding it.

Special care has been taken to preserve the natural vegetation within the camp, and it remains the only main rest camp set in a true mountain environment.

The campground offers 72 tent and caravan sites, each with a power point and braai area, plus communal ablutions and cooking facilities. A large swimming pool is available near the camping area.

A standout feature is the floodlit waterhole on the camp's edge, served by an underground hide for close-up night viewing of wildlife. The camp is the closest main rest camp to Malelane Gate, roughly a five-hour drive from Johannesburg via the N4.
