This is the second time we have visited this camp once in 2007 for our honeymoon and in December 2012 with family. The bungalows are nice and clean and have all the equipment for a self catering stay, although the pound goes a very long way in SA, we would recommend that you bring as much food and alcohol as...

Mopani has a rustic feel to it. Very quiet and not very busy when we visited in March of 2013. The food was better than anywhere else we stayed in the park!! The area was terrific for animals and you have the bush to yourself while self driving. You'll love this place if you're planning on traveling on your own... More

Mopani is the Kruger camp that we least enjoyed. We stayed in a 4 sleeper rondavel which was equipped with a outdoor kitchenette. Not a good idea, with the heat and insects that abound. Although the rondavel was clean, it had a very unpleasant smell. The camp itself has all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. A well stocked... More

While I know the Kruger restcamps well, I felt that the maintenance at Mopanie leaves much to be desired. We were there for a conference group and Christa made all the difference keeping us happy, a BIG thumbs up for this lady... The conference facility is world class with all the Audio & Video equipment you may need in very... More

We have enjoyed this park a lot, as the accomodation is good, friendly staff and a nice sitting area outside. The rooms of the lodges were clean and comfortable. All what was needed was available. the area outside to enjoy the view on the wilderness outide the lodge area was fantastic.

We've just returned from a couple of weeks in South Africa. We've visited Kruger before and as well as staying in a couple of safari lodges we wanted to try the rest camps. We spent one night in Mopani Rest Camp with our grown-up son and took a guest cottage. This turned out to be a 3-bedroom cottage, sleeping up... More

We stayed in 2 different camps while in Kruger Park the previous month. This turned to be the best of the two. Situated in an area with much wildlife Mopani offers nice comfortable bungalows. Northern part of Kruger is supposed to offer less opportunities for wildlife. We have a different opinion after our trip since we saw much wildlife in... More
