Punda Maria Restcamp - Kruger Park lies in the northernmost part of the Kruger National Park, 10 km from the Punda Maria Gate. The camp is situated in the Sandveld region which is often described as the botanical garden of the Kruger National Park.
Numerous plant species occur which are unique to the area. Game species most likely to be sighted include impala, zebra, buffalo, elephant, eland and sable. The area is also a birders paradise.
The 22 km Mahonie Loop that circumnavigates the camp is surely one of the best potential bird and tree drives in Southern Africa. A trip to Pafuri Picnic Site is also a must for birders and botanists. The road via Klopperfontein Dam can be very rewarding.
