Berg-en-Dal rest camp lies in the far south-western corner of the Kruger National Park and, as the name suggests, it lies in one of the hilliest parts of the park.
In this video, I not only show you exactly what Berg-en-Dal rest camp looks like, but I also tell you what you can expect to see on game drives around Berg-en-Dal. If you don't know the Kruger National Park, game viewing can be tough, so I share three of my favourite game drive routes around Berg-en-Dal and what you can expect to see on them.
It really is the most comprehensive rest camp and game viewing review about Berg-en-Dal in the Kruger National Park on RU-vid!
BERG-EN-DAL REST CAMP
Berg-en-Dal is one of the largest camps in the Kruger National Park, but despite its size, it's much quieter than the neighbouring Skukuza and Lower Sabie rest camps, at least outside public holidays and school vacations. If you as me, Berg-en-Dal is the most family-friendly camp in the Kruger National Park, with plenty of activities and facilities for children to enjoy with their parents.
At reception there's the Rhino Hall, which contains a wealth of information about the Kruger National Park's two rhino species - the black rhino and the white rhino. Then, next to the restaurant, there's the Rhino Trail, which, for the most part, runs alongside the camp boundary fence. All along the Rhino Trail you'll find information boards about the Kruger National Park's fauna and flora, and the first part even contains braille signs for the visually impaired. Then there's Berg-en-Dal's large swimming pool - arguably the nicest one in the whole Kruger National Park! It has a shallow part for young children, plenty of shaded seating around it, as well as a small jungle gym on the side. Last, but not least, there's a shop with gifts and basic groceries, a restaurant and take-away area, and an outdoor theatre that shows wildlife documentaries every evening.
My favourite thing about Berg-en-Dal rest camp is the campsite! It's massive and has plenty of level and shaded stands, most of which have power and braai facilities. There are multiple clean ablution facilities, as well as places to wash up and cook.
BERG-EN-DAL GAME VIEWING
Game viewing around Berg-en-Dal can be some of the very best in the whole Kruger National Park! For one, it's by far the best place in Kruger to see all of the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant - in one drive! That's because it's one of the few parts of the Kruger National Park that still has a decent rhino population.
NB: NEVER post photos of the rhinos you see on drive on social media, because it may put them at risk of being poached!
My favourite game drive route from Berg-en-Dal is to drive to the S118 & S119 gravel roads via the H3 tar road very early in the morning. This stunning stretch of road next to the dry riverbed is excellent for elephants, leopard and rhino, and the scenery alone makes driving it worth while!
Berg-en-Dal is also known for sightings of wild dogs, especially along the S114 towards Biyamiti Weir. Last, but not least, I love spending time on the S110 gravel loop past Matjulu Waterhole close to Berg-en-Dal, because of its beauty and regular sightings of lion and buffalo.
