Your Experience
Seeking a budget-friendly Kruger National Park safari experience where you’ll be fully immersed in the South African wilderness?
Punda Maria is an affordable rest camp in Kruger National Park located close to the Sandveld region. Easy to access, the area is particularly well-known for its abundant plant species and is often referred to by locals as the ‘botanical garden of the Kruger’.
And where there is flora, fauna is sure to follow. This is just the kind of place where you can wake each morning to the cheer of birdsong and watch families of ellies, impala, and zebra come forth for a morning graze.
The overall atmosphere at Punda Maria Rest Camp in Kruger Park is relaxed and laid-back but when it comes to activities, its game drives galore with guided 4x4 game drives departing twice daily; the early morning and late afternoon.
While this is indeed Big 5 country, you’ll also be pleasantly surprised with a few unique characters like those gorgeous little Sharpe’s grysboks. African wild dogs are also known to make their appearance here from time to time so be sure to keep your binos or camera close at hand!
