I spent 7 weeks in South Africa and had an amazing time!!!!! But the 3 days that I spent at Pretoriuskop is the most memorable 3 days of the entire vacation! Just the thought of being in the outdoors and going on a natural safari is mind blowing!!!!!!!!
Too early in the morning having seen the lions was enjoyable stop for coffee and conversations. I great idea for camp
Picturesque camp within the Kruger. Many good drives around the camp, especially the winding routes around the nearby hills. Keep a lookout for large buffalo herds and cheetah and rare Sable antelope. Being a high-rainfall area, the grasses are less suited to grazing animals and hence sightings can be a little more limited than the more eastern and south-central parts of the park. This is not to say that there isn't an abundance of activity and the area is well worth visiting. The restaurant is part of the "Wimpy" fast food chain and slightly below par compared to other camps served by the "Mugg and Bean" brand (which has a more extensive and better menu, with more consistent service delivery).
Love the camp, this is a camp with loads of history and the best swimming pool in the Kruger National Park. The camp management is attentive and share their passion with their staff members. The ablution facilities are clean and well maintained. We love Pretoriuskop and the wildlife sightings are stunning, a definite must visit.
A large family group staying in Feb 2017. We booked the Pierre Joubert guesthouse which may well be the most expensive unit they have in Krugar as it can sleep 16 people with 4 bungalows and a central lounge/kitchen. There were serious problems with PG which I will not detail at length as I am still hoping to settle a dispute with SAN Management. But having squirrels fighting in the thatched roof over your food at the dining table is quite novel albeit unhygienic. Otherwise the accommodation by 21C standards really shows its age from 1987 as the style is dark. The camp was as good as last time although with limited facilities. Must be the only country still to have Wimpy bars! We really enjoy the unique swimming pool.Would definitely use this camp again. Shame I feel I can only give it 3* this time.
