The pervasive Mopani tree found in the Pioneer Dam area of Kruger National Park lends both its aesthetic and its name to this primary rest camp. Thatched buildings with rock-faced walls blend seamlessly into the natural environment, materials used to construct these buildings include rough stone, wood, and thatching grass. Mopani is also great for families. It has a large collection of family cottages available for families of different sizes.
Mopani Rest Camp offers adventure in the form of guided bush walks and safari game drives, all under the supervision of well informed and keen professional field guides. There is also an in-camp trail walk.
Important to note: children under the age of six years old are not permitted on the safari game vehicle and children under the age of twelve years old are restricted from guided bush walks
Other attractions include the Shipandane sleep-over Bird-Hide, the Pioneer Dam Bird Hide, the tropic of Capricorn, and wildlife films screened at reception, during office hours, daily. Recently added to this list is the Sunset Drive-Boma Combo.
Facilities at the camp include: Information at the reception area, public telephones, post box, restaurant with mini ATM facility, ladies bar, cafeteria, shop, laundromat, filling station, car wash, basic on-site first-aid assistance, a day visitor picnic area, swimming pool and cell phone reception.

We are exprienced world travellers
We are exprienced world travellers, but when it came to booking a safari, after a bit of research we realized we were out of our league with the logistics. Shaan Shaw at Safari.com listened closely to our needs and intrests, and quickly responded to all of our questions, efficietly putting together the package for a fly-in safari of our dreams at nearly half the price of other luxury groups! Her strong communicatioin skills, creative problem solving, experience and attentiveness have are refreshing attributes and it has been a delight to work with her.

Heleen was awesome!
Heleen was extremely courteous and helpful with my first-time booking with safari.com for Kruger National Park. Having never been to Africa, let alone Kruger, she offered a lot of first-hand advice on what made sense and what didn't. I feel confident that our booking will give us a great chance to experience a broad spectrum of what the park has to offer over our upcoming week-long trip.
