Tented Adventures Pretoriuskop Rest Camp

We just stayed in Pretoriuskop Restcamp for 3 nights while visiting Kruger National Park. The accomodations were as advertised; a 2 star hotel. But if all you are looking for is a place to sleep while exploring and view the experience as a "cabin" type of accommodation then it's acceptable. There are bugs and/or lizards in the rooms (check your bed before getting in), the water pressure is dismal, and some of the doors don't lock. We lost power for a day and a half off and on. They purposely turned off the power overnight that had been running from a generator which meant we didn't have air conditioning for one night which wasn't ideal. Most of our party didn't mind though. The service at the fast food restaurant is not great but the food was okay. Everyone was very nice, including the staff in the store and the rangers. We stayed in the guest house area which had a building that was a common area with a kitchen and living room and then the sleeping quarters were solo buildings with two bedrooms and one bathroom in each. The location for game viewing was a great starting point. On our drives we saw a leopard right outside the gate as well as elephants. And we were able to quickly get to areas that had lions, zebras, rhinos, hippos, etc. I'm not sure if the rangers are assigned to specific camps but ours were great for our late evening drive and very early morning walk. We saw an aardvark which is unheard of. If you're fine with roughing it, then it's worth staying here. Just don't expect hotel amenities and upgraded rooms.

Very basic round hut, with 2 single beds, a sink/cold tap and an electric socket. Quite a walk to the toilet/shower block - uneven ground- not easy at night! Toilets not very clean and untidy. The only food available was an awful Wimpy - only 1 non-meet option which was horrible, with under cooked chips and service incredibly slow. What a dreadful "restaurant" for the Kruger Park.

Spartan. Adequate, overpriced with communal facilities of a barracky nature but charming in its own way and after all we booked at four and were there at five with an early morning stroll for the animal kingdom. Room or rather bungalow door not sliding properly. Spacious room and aesthetically pleasing. Dark environs, underlit and the restaurant a Wimpy!!! A little universe for a purposful 'adventure'. The morning stroll was arduous in terms of the terrain. The winter flora was depressing and the fauna adequate for the willing to be easily enthused. Kruger is an industry with different lineages and penchants. Overcelebratedfor my odd poetic andurstanding
