Caravan Rental for Kruger Park (Berg-en-Dal)
Berg-en-Dal is Kruger's most modern rest camp, set in the hilly granite country of the far south. The name means 'mountain and valley' in Afrikaans, and the landscape delivers — rocky ridges, thick bush, and the Matjulu Dam right in camp where you can watch animals drink from the viewing deck. The area is great for white rhino, wild dog, and leopard. It's the closest Kruger camp to Gauteng — about 4.5 hours via the N4 and Malelane Gate. Rent a camper on Kampi and you can be in the bush before lunch.
