Pretoriuskop Rest Camp Petrol Station

Overview

This small, in-camp fuel stop is exactly where you want it—right in Pretoriuskop Rest Camp, a few minutes from Numbi Gate. It’s a practical, stress-saving place to top up before dawn drives or when you roll in late. Expect standard forecourt service, not a destination—useful, reliable, and close to the camp’s shop and restaurant.

What You’ll Find

• Petrol and diesel pumps with straightforward service.
• Payment is easy: cards (including common bank cards) and cash are accepted.
• It sits in the camp hub near other amenities; if you need restrooms, use the camp’s communal ablutions nearby.

Why It’s Handy Here

Pretoriuskop is the closest major camp to Numbi Gate, so this station is a natural first/last stop on itineraries using that entrance. It’s ideal for topping off so you don’t waste precious golden-hour game-viewing time hunting for fuel.

Best Times to Visit

While it’s listed as open 24 hours, you’ll dodge queues by fueling outside the pre-dawn and early-evening rush when many drivers gas up before or after game drives. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon is generally the quietest window on most days.

Practical Notes

• There’s no ATM listed for Pretoriuskop, so arrive with a working payment card or cash.
• If you’re heading out at first light via Numbi or Phabeni, fill up the night before to breeze out at gate opening.
