Mopani

Destination

Kruger National Park

Mopani Rest Camp is located on the banks of the Pioneer Dam in the Kruger National Park. Named after the mopane veld that surrounds the camp, Mopani Rest Camp nestles amongst the Mopani tree covered koppies. In autumn the butterfly-shaped leaves change to striking hues before falling off in September and October. A signature feature is the huge gnarled old baobab tree in the middle of the camp. The vegetation inside the camp is left as found in the wild, adding to the unparalleled atmosphere of the camp. Every effort has been made to ensure that the thatched buildings, with their rock faced walls, and surrounding paving, blend into the bushveld environment. All the buildings at Mopani Camp are built from natural materials such as rough stone, wood and thatching-grass, which blends them in beautifully with the environment.
