Dissapointed about restaurants/happy about annimals
"I have not been to the southern part of the park for about 20 years and was extremely disappointed about the deterioration of the restaurants.Food on menu not available/neatness of waiters/hygiene/condition of menus (burnt). To comments from other people(waitress - I don't no what is going on, everything is going down!(Berg en Dal). 2nd comment by a black South African man to a black American lady who complained about the flies in the green salad!(Skukusa). Welcome to Africa ma'am. We are busy destroying one of our best assets and chasing the tourists away.The tidiness/neatness of the gardens as I can remember has also deteriorated. Shame on Parks board. What is your plan of action. I need to agree with the waitress - everything is going down.Please save this wonderful asset."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"Excellent service from my booking till I left Kruger at Malelane gate. I took my three grand daughters with and what a pleasure with the facilities at Berg en Dal. I want to reserve family unit in advance for next year 1 October to the 6 October. Congratulations on the "nice" and excellent professional staff of Kruger."

Berg-en-Dal Drama
"The accommodation in this camp is top notch and the best by far - it had everything we needed cutlery, crockery and a beautiful view. On arrival I checked in and sat down at the restaurant for lunch by the end of the meal we could not pay as the electricity was out - we had to return later to pay, I do not like carrying cash on me as I have been mugged numerous times - with the power being out this meant I could only pay my conservation fees the next day and on arrival at our bungalow there was no electricity. The staff could not indicate how long the outage could last and they closed the shop during outages. The power continued to go on and off throughout the day and partly through the night. One thing I can say is the staff were very helpful in making everyone comfortable and are very friendly. This part of the park is very dry so it is quite a challenge to find animals but when you do finally see them it i s definitely worth it - we saw most of the bigger animals down this side of the park."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"One concern that there is signs in the bathrooms asking to use water sparingly as its a precious resource but during our 2 night stay the cleaning staff used the hoses to wash down the surrounding area and patio and also left it running unnecessarily. I also noticed that the fire hydrants were being used for general water use.
No dustbins in sight around the look out points in front on the restaurant and shop, lots of cigarette stubs laying around."

Excellent Overall Experience from Start to Finish
"The booking system is excellent and is 50 million miles ahead of the former useless system that Kruger used to use. The overall Kruger Park experience was most positive for myself and my overseas guest, from the initial booking process, to the friendly & helpful gate guards at Malalane gate, to the check-in and restaurant and service staff at the bungalow at Berg en Dal, to the staff serving our final meal at Skukuza."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"Pleasantly surprised after hearing that Kruger standards had dropped - bungalow clean and well equipped. No yin opener or rather tin opener broken - linen felt a bit worn but generally a good experience. Efficient and friendly staff."

Great experience
"The highlight was the lions that we saw. The bungalow was in a very good condition. The night drive was disappointing. It was raining and could not see much."

"Most excellent value for money at our overnight camp. This is true of all the smaller camps, I must say however that the staff at Skukuza still give the impression that they are doing you a big favour by serving you! Very apathetic attitude."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"Berg-en-Dal was great! I had an overseas visitor with me who was most impressed with the camp. However, the food in the restaurant was terrible and we just opted to go without eating for two days. I very much doubt he will recommend the Kruger to any of his friends now because of the restaurant food. What a shame!"

A break in the bush........ the best of the best
"We had a very enjoyable week. I have been visiting the KNP since 1949- Skukuza had only about 10 rondavels- a tiny shop and 100's of round Bell tents! Game was plentiful. We had to go to Satara to see Elephants. Now they are ruining the park. Please don't listen to the "bleeding hearts". Do culling wisely or we are facing a ecological disaster. At berg and Dal the devastation is shocking! Good luck and we will always be FRIENDS OF THE KNP."

Standards are going down
"I asked for an extra bed on my booking, when I arrived they new nothing about it and we got a mattress to use, several items of cutlery and plates were missing, the unit was never cleaned properly and it seem as if, if something is broken let's not fix it. I feel the Kruger park rest camps are going down hill fast."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"The bungalow at Berg en Dal was nice, but there are no bowls for a salad so we had to use a plate. Also one of the wine glasses was cracked. There's also no notice showing how the stove top works so it took us a while to figure out that there's a switch UNDERNEATH! But otherwise clean and neat. Thank you."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Berg-en-Dal park. I want to recommend that they can put more bins for waste in the caravan park."

Kruger feedback
"Game viewing proved to be a highlight this time round. Saw big five within 2 days and then in last 2 hours of an afternoon drive saw all five again!
Service at reception very slow. Very little customer relations - social talking on phone whilst dealing with clients.
Family cottage very comfortable but will request one closer to perimeter fence next time round(if available). Many thanks for your assistance."

Berg-en-Dal Restcamp
"Thank you for your swift response on our booking. The camp was very well set out. The only problem we had was firstly not been told of the plug needed to use a electrical extension cord and what else we would need to pay for our stay in the park.
Regards
Derek Smit"

"The unit was very neat and tidy, the only things that was not up to standard was the kitchen equipment- the toaster was falling apart, and pots rusted in the inside. But we made the best of it and enjoyed our stay! Thank you!"

A great holiday!
"We stayed at three different camps, namely Berg-en-Dal, Satara and Mopani. At all three camps the staff was very friendly and courteous. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Saw plenty of game, except leopard and wild dog. Can't wait to return!"
- Malcolm Bury (South African)
