The Camp is situated about 9 kilometres from Numbi Gate and about 60 Kilometres from Paul Kruger Gate."
As the oldest camp in the park, Pretoriouskop Rest Camp has seen the park grow and evolve into what it is today. The best place to start when telling the history of the camp is with the name.
In the 1800s, what is now Pretoriouskop was a stopover for those who were travelling from Lydenburg to Delagoa Bay. The camp is named after a nearby hill, or kopje, where the Voortrekker Willem Pretorius is buried. He was a member of the expedition led by Carl Trichardt, which was heading to Delagoa Bay in 1848. You can see his grave on the main road to Skukuza, as you enter the park.
Back during the times when a trade route ran through this area, travellers took advantage of the higher altitude. Up here there were fewer mosquitoes and not as many tsetse flies.
But it was not just a place of colonial trade. There is a mountain just south of the camp called Manungu. It got its name after the local chief who ran a livestock camp as well as a trading store in the area. The Chief Manungu did plenty of trade with the transport riders passing through the areas as well as other travellers who were moving between the mining towns in search of riches.

When walking through the camp, you will see stunning bougainvillaea as well as red flamboyant plants which are the work of Harry Wolhuter who planted them while he was a ranger in the park. This makes the camp the only place in the park where the strict rules regarding indigenous plants have been broken.
As one of the Kruger’s first rangers, Wolhuter’s influence on the history of the park is extensive. As for his influence on Pretoriouskop, the camp was once known as Wolhuter’s Hut. He stayed at the camp before his hut was transformed into tourist accommodation.
Wolhuter is not only well known for being a dedicated park ranger but he is also known for fending off two hungry lions. While heading back to camp, riding ahead of his helpers, he was ambushed by two lions. The first took him down from his horse, its massive jaws clamping down on his shoulder. The lion dragged him into the bush. Before it could make a meal of its prey, Wolhuter had managed to grab hold of his knife. He stabbed the lion until the animal retreated and then managed to climb up a tree as the second lion was closing in.
Wolhuter’s helpers found him in the tree, with his faithful dog Bull sitting below. He was carried back to the camp and then he was placed on a train that would take him to the Barberton Hospital.
The ranger made a full recovery and to this day you can see the skin of the lion he managed to kill as well as his knife at the Stevenson-Hamilton Library in Skukuza.

The Kruger is not about staying in the camps all day. It’s about that mind-blowing safari experience. Pretoriouskop is situated in one of the best areas in the park if you want to see all kinds of animals without driving around for days on end.
The vegetation might be a little thick, especially during the rainy summer months, and this can make it a little difficult to spot a well-hidden animal. Nevertheless, you are certainly going to be in for a visual treat when you are touring the area.
Animals of all kinds have been spotted on the popular routes in this region, as well as on the secondary roads that are scattered around the main routes. Leopards and buffalos are regularly sighted. You’ll have to keep your eyes on the trees if you hope to see a leopard as they are often well hidden in the shade.
It is also not uncommon to come across elephants, impalas, red duikers, kudus, waterbucks and lions. A day’s drive can take you to Skukuza and back, giving you ample opportunity to see all kinds of interesting animals.
A Kruger Park safari is not the only way to see the animals in the area. There is always the option of taking part in a bush walk. There are a variety of wilderness trails in the area, the most popular being the Napi Trail which will take you into the woodland bushveld.
