Berg-en-Dal restcamp

On the northern and southern sides dry riverbeds and a dam border the camp. There are large trees along the streams and dry riverbeds. Special care has been taken to preserve the natural vegetation in the camp. Berg-en-Dal is situated in Malelane Mountain Bushveld. Many unusual plants grow in the mountain landscape. The plains between the mountains are covered in sweet grass which attracts a variety of grazers. Prominent trees are the red bush-willow and the magic guarri. The camp is an excellent venue to see Fantailed Flycatcher, Heuglin’s and Whitethroated Robins. Scarletchested Sunbird is particularly prominent. The adjacent Matjulu Dam attracts a constant supply of water birds and African Fish Eagle is usually present and viewed at close quarters. The surrounding hills host a wealth of species and are a good place to search for Pennantwinged Nightjar (in summer and at dusk) and Croaking Cisticola. A trail for the blind has been laid out in the restcamp and there is accommodation that is wheelchair accessible.
