Punda Maria Rest Camp, Kruger
Punda Maria lies in the northern most part of the Kruger National Park, 8km from Punda Maria Gate. The camp is situated in the Sandveld region that is often described as the botanical garden of the Kruger National Park. There are numerous plant species which occur that are unique to the area. Game species most likely to be sighted include impala, zebra, buffalo, elephant, eland and sable and the area is a bird paradise. Guided bush walks and game drives provide the perfect opportunity for this. Thulamela Archaeological Trail, the Nyalaland Wilderness Trail and the Northern Plains 4 x 4 Adventure Trail are other exciting adventures guests can experience at Punda Maria. Accommodation at the camp caters to a variety of guest requirements. Choose to stay in either a furnished safari tent, air-conditioned bungalow, or, for larger groups and families, a 6-bed family bungalow. 50 tent and caravan campsites, with electric points and communal ablution and kitchen facilities, are also available.
