Berg-en-Dal, Tourist camp in Ehlanzeni District Municipality, South Africa
Berg-en-Dal is a camp with bungalows and camping spots positioned along the Crocodile River inside Kruger National Park, surrounded by thick vegetation and rolling terrain. The facility includes a restaurant, shop, shared kitchen, and swimming pool for guests to use.
The camp opened in 1986 as an expansion of lodging options in the southern section of Kruger National Park close to Malelane Gate. Its creation was part of efforts to welcome more visitors to the quieter areas of the reserve.
The camp lies near rock art sites that reveal how people have lived in this landscape for thousands of years, with evidence scattered across the surrounding hills. These traces show how early inhabitants depended on the river and its surroundings for survival and daily life.
The location is accessible via the Malelane Gate road and offers guided game drives that run daily for wildlife viewing. The best times to spot animals are early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler and animals are most active.
Large animals like elephants and hippos regularly appear near the accommodation areas because they come to the river to drink. This close proximity to wildlife turns even quiet moments in camp into unexpected viewing chances.
