Introduction

A three-day camping safari trip into the heart of the Southern Kruger National Park is a fantastic way to escape and unwind. Almost everyone visiting this part of the African continent seeks to experience an authentic African safari in Kruger National Park.

As South Africa’s most famous wildlife reserve, Kruger has earned its remarkable reputation thanks to the incredible variety of animals and plants that inhabit the area. It’s no surprise that the Kruger Safari Co.’s three-day camping safari is such a popular choice for exploring the region’s breathtaking scenery.

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.
