    3:27 Game viewing description starts:
    4:45: #1 First suggestion: BergenDals' camp gate opens an hour before Malelane gate in morning and its best to sue this time to cross over S110 towards east, take left on H3 and reach S118 - BEST ROAD For Leopards.
    5:45 #2: James water hole where S118 cross S114 is also great for waiting
    One should do a few hundred meteres northwards on S114 before contunieng on S119. One can come back to waterhole when it gets hot in the day.
    7:00 #3: S 114 if u further pursue north is also good to reach Menayati bush camp/river where u can see wild dogs
    7:45: Continue north on S2xxx and then reach H3 tar road on north.. come south towards camp and there is a great picnic site in between.
    ALTERATE PLAN S110 - Machulo loop.

    Can't get enough of this special camp. A Kruger trip isn't the same without a visit to Berg-en-Dal!! The game viewing is unbelievable!! A good place to see the big 5 as well. 😊🙏 Going to Berg-en-Dal in June as well as Crocodile Bridge!!!

    A very comprehensive video! We also love to stay over at Berg-en-Dal! I must agree with everything you've had to say! On the Mlambane Loop, we have regularly seen the resident lion pride, leopards, wild dogs, black & white rhino, buffalo, elephant and plenty of antelope. The Matjulu loop is equally rewarding!

    Great video Villiers! We love Berg-en-Dal and make sure to spend our first night or two there every trip. You nailed all the things we love about the camp and surrounding area….top notch! The only thing you missed that makes Berg-en-Dal so very special for us is that it’s the check-in camp for the Wolhuter Wilderness Trail. I’d love to see you do a series on Kruger’s exceptional Wilderness Trails which are just superb and Wohuter is our favorite of them all 😀😀. Great review, looking forward to seeing more 👍

      Ah, thanks Thandi. I would LOVE to visit and film them all, but it's easier said than done. Not only would that take a LOT of time, but I would have to convince them all to host me, which is not as easy as you may think... I do, however, hope to visit at least a few in 2022!

    Thanks for sharing - it's a camp that has delivered some good sightings on the surrounding roads for me in recent years.

  • @handyvickers
    @handyvickers Рік тому +1

    Great advice, Villiers... I've stayed at BnD a few times, but I've seldom been along those gravel roads you've suggested, concentrating rather on the tar roads. Next time, I'm following your suggestions!
    And I agree, it's probably the best camp in the park.

    • @TheSafariExpert
      @TheSafariExpert  2 роки тому +1

      Johan, take the N4 straight to Malelane via Nelspruit. Personally, I’d stay in Berg-en-Dal over Lower Sabie and I’d try to do so for longer than 2 nights 😏

    Hello! I plan to visit Kruger Park with group of friends in late February for 3 days (26th - 28th) and I'm wondering which camp will be the best for us. We would like to see as many animals as possible and at the same time avoid the most crowded camps. Do you think that Berg-en-Dal Camp will be good for us?

    Congratulations on the video. But please reconsider showing Rhinos in your videos, you just make it easier for poachers to know where they are.

    • @TheSafariExpert
      @TheSafariExpert  3 роки тому +1

      Mark, I appreciate your concern - I really do. The fact of the matter is that poachers already know where to find the rhinos in Kruger, but foreign visitors with a life-long dream of seeing rhinos, don't. I think it's only fair to help them realise their dream by visiting the right camps. With this in mind, I personally believe that the key is just not to share realtime sightings video social media.
