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.
