Pretoriuskop Rest Camp
Pretoriuskop
Kruger's oldest rest camp, where white rhinos, sable antelope and giraffes can be seen among granite hills. The camp has a natural rock swimming pool.
Pretoriuskop lies in the southwest of Kruger, near Numbi Gate, and is the oldest rest camp in the park. The area is higher and receives more rainfall, so the vegetation is lush, and dome-shaped granite hills are scattered across it. It is a good area for seeing sable antelope, white rhinos and giraffes. The camp has a natural pool built into the rocks, which is ideal for a midday break. Historic remains of 19th-century emigrant ox-wagon trails are also preserved nearby. It is about one hour's drive from Hazyview, making it a good first stop for entering Kruger from the Panorama Route.
