Tindlovu Restaurant Berg-En-Dal Rest Camp

November 15, 2025

The restaurant at Berg-en-Dal is run by Tindlovu and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Opening hours are 7:00–20:00 (last order). We went for dinner every night, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and interacted nicely with guests. The food — when available — was actually good and definitely better than what we experienced at Tindlovu in Letaba. What I still can’t wrap my head around is the fact that all Tindlovu restaurants have the exact same menu, yet the dishes look and taste completely different depending on the camp. I had assumed it was some kind of system-gastronomy concept, but clearly each kitchen does its own thing. Same item on paper, totally different outcome on the plate. A recurring issue is the constant “out of stock” situation. Several dishes weren’t available throughout our stay, even though the ingredients could easily be bought in any shop. On the third night even sparkling water and beer were out of stock — which is honestly quite shocking. It really seems like Tindlovu is struggling with their logistics and supply chain. Overall: friendly staff, good food, but serious supply issues that need to be fixed.

Hi fellow campers, we started our 2023 Kruger National Park trip at Berg en Dal. After our one night stop over at The Hippo Waterfront lodge and camping grounds. The Berg en Dal camp is well maintained and is beautiful kept. The reception , restaurant and shop are well organized. The camping sites are big enough and level. With power points and taps near by. The ablutions are kept clean at all times. Well done. On our first outing the next day we spotted Wild Dogs ..they just killed an Impala, there must have been around 10 to 15 of them. It was an awesome site. I will highly recommend this camp to start your Kruger adventure as you can travel to Petoriuskop , Crocodile Bridge or Skukuza as a day drive. Seen many predators and raptors in the area. However, it's all about timing.

The Tindlovu Restaurant at the Berg-En-Dal Rest Camp is beautiful. It's modern, yet maintains a 'safari' theme and offers a relaxing atmosphere. I have mostly had good experiences in the past, but my recent visit was completely the opposite. The service was shockingly poor. Our waitress, though friendly, was clearly undertrained. When we asked about supervision or the training she had received, she admitted to working without any guidance. We waited excessively long for our food and drinks to arrive, and our waitress even revealed that she had to personally make my wife's cocktail (which wasn't tasty at all). The food was unfortunately just as disappointing. Myself and a friend both decided to order the crocodile schnitzel which was underwhelming and almost looked like it was one portion cooked and then divided between our 2 plates. It's very sad to me to have had such an experience, especially taking friends there for the first time. The management, staff, and owners need to do some hard introspection regarding the restaurant's current state. With the right decisions, the Tindlovu Restaurant at the Berg-En-Dal can match some of the other high-quality restaurants within the park.

We had a wonderful experience. After a busy day on the road, it was a relief to be able to stop for a nice pot of tea and really yummy salad.
