The main issue with this itinerary is that you will be based at one camp (Pretoriuskop) for the entire length of your stay. You're stuck in one corner of the park, and the number of directions in which you can head out on game drives is limited compared to some other camps.

Pretoriuskop is arguably also not the best area in Kruger for game viewing. I'm not saying it is bad, but I do avoid it in summer because the Yellow Thatching Grass along the roads, which grows to a height of 6 ft and severely restricts visibility in many places.

Apart from that, I see nothing really wrong with the itinerary. For a novice, guided game drives are definitely the way to go, driving around yourself is not the best option for the clueless and inexperienced.
