Mopani Rest Camp

Kruger National Park


This modern rest camp has a manufactured feel, lacking the traditional bush atmosphere of the others. Although the view over Pioneer Dam is impressive, the size of the deck at the Tindlovu restaurant (mains R80 to R155) and bar are less so. But it's quite serene, and the pool is rather pretty. Bungalows 9 to 12 have good views.

It's certainly quieter than some of the southern camps.
