“Saddest and least enthusiastic staff i have ever seen”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Berg-en-Dal is a great rest camp. Don't get me wrong. We saw all of the big 5 within 3 days and all around the rest camp itself. The game outside the camp gate were amazing and an abundance of them too. The cottages were OK but don't expect it to be 5 star. the cottages are a bit tired. we had a 6 birth cottages which was neat and tidy and kind of cleaned every morning. the cleaner couldn't speak English but what the hek.

The staff at the restaurant were really the worst i have ever seen in my life. they really weren't too keen to be there. their service was shocking when they actually decided to take orders. they really didn't like being there and seemed like you owed them big time. the Park will really have to have a good look at that as it seemed like more than half the people there were foreigners.

other than that - great camp

Room Tip: ask to be close to the restaurant and the pool.

“Saw 4 of the Big 5 the First Day”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

My family and I stayed at the Berg-en-Dal rest camp at the start of our week in Kruger. We were honestly expecting it to be just a quick stop-over to break up our long car trip, but it ended up being a highlight of our time in the park. The self-catering chalet we stayed in was clean and comfortable, perfect for 3 adults traveling together. The braai area was a nice touch, and made for a delicious dinner. In addition to the good accomodation, we were pleasantly surprised by how much wildlife we saw around the camp--spotting 4 of the "Big 5" our first full day.

All-in-all a very good experience. If anyone is looking for a SANParks restcamp to stay at, I recommend Berg-en-Dal.

“Pleasant stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

Berg and Dal main camp Kruger Park was overall a good experience, units were clean, and most utensils etc were present. The bird life was awesome and the pool most welcome. the sunset game drive was good and the bush walk was also a lovely experience, except for the cheeky guide, Raymond who clearly lacked any client service skills.

“Very bad service but close to animals”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011 via mobile

This camp is well located within the kruger park, and we saw 4 of the 5big ones nearby. The room-concept is good, as rooms have a kitchen and an outdoor bbq, but they could have been much cleaner. We had insects in the toilet, but maybe this happens normally as we were inside a nature park. Blankets were dirty and beds were not comfortable. There was also rancid food from previous guests as welcome gift!!!!Service was poor and hospitality was not there!they did not answer to our questions properly, did not offer any help nor recommendation. The restaurant's quality was quite low and far from attractive. There is a supermarket with everything, at very affordable prices.

“Wonderful lodges”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Berg-en-dal was the best of the three camps we stayed in, the rooms were large and spacious. Outside was a large patio with all the utensils for a Braai. there were walks that you could go on and I would like to have spent more nights at this camp as the facilities were great.
