Kruger National Park - Pretoriuskop Camp

In the southwest of the National Park, 9km/5.5mi from the Numbi Gate, is the Pretoriuskop camp, the oldest in the park and one of the three largest, with accommodation for 400 visitors, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a shop, a post office and a camping site. Within this area, enclosed by picturesque granite hills, grow 67 different species of trees and 21 species of shrubs, including the coral tree, which produces its blood-red flowers in August and September. Around Pretoriuskop visitors can sometimes see rare species of animals at close quarters, including wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards and rare species of antelope.
