Pretoriuskop Rest Camp

Pretoriuskop takes its name from the nearby kopje where Willem Pretorius, a Voortrekker and member of Carl Trichardt’s 1848 expedition to Delagoa Bay, is buried. Shabeni Hill, a granite dome is not far from the camp and is a beacon in the area.

Staying in any of the camps of the KNP is a top experience where you can be guaranteed to see the Big 5. It is one of the more affordable safari vacations that you can book in South Africa.

Going out on an open vehicle safari is the preferred way to see animals around Pretoriuskop. The camp offers great bird watching opportunities as it provides a walking route on the inside perimeters of the camp. You will get a general offering of fauna and flora and being close to animals that you might catch a glimpse of on the other side of the electrified fence.
