Berg en Dal Camp offers full day game drives as well as morning and afternoon game walks for a Kruger National Park safari. See traditional dancing performed by the local people and view traditional San (bushman) paintings along the Bushman trail.
There are well-qualified wildlife guides at Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp that can take guests on half or full-day sightseeing game drives on request for your Kruger National Park safari. These guides are available for morning and afternoon game walks as well. There is also a self-guided walking trail, equipped with Braille for visually impaired hikers on this Kruger National Park suggested itinerary.
Wildlife
The area hosts white rhino, kudu, impala, giraffe, elephant, Reedbuck, Klipspringer, Rrey Rhebok and warthog. Leopards are seen regularly in the region - some lucky people have even seen them drinking at the dam in front of the camp, while on a Kruger National Park safari tour. Wild Dogs are also found in the area. Lions are usually found in the lower plains on the roads to Skukuza and Crocodile Bridge.
Birding
Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp is an excellent venue to see fan-tailed flycatchers, Heuglin's and White-throated robins. Scarlet-chested sunbird is particularly prominent. The adjacent Matjulu Dam attracts a constant supply of water birds and African Fish Eagle is usually present and viewed at close quarters. The surrounding hills host a wealth of species and are a good place to search for pennant winged nightjar (in summer and at dusk) and croaking cisticola.
