1. Punda Maria Rest Camp

• First come first served (no pre booking of sites)
• Electric Power at some sites (generator in times of load shedding!) and also non-electrified sites
• Central scullery areas
• Good clean communal ablution blocks
• Some sites have a braai
• No fire pits

You need to check in at the main reception for Mapungubwe National Park. This is 29km's on a gravel road that can sometimes be in a poor condition, or 42km's on the tar road.

Watch out for the monkeys and baboons (although the baboons did not come into the camp when we camped  there)

Mazhou Campsite, in the Mapungubwe National Park is set far from the main camp. It has the sites in a circle around the ablution block.

There is electricity and each site has a braai, bin and water point. The ablutions are lovely and clean.

There is also electric power.

The camp does have a low electric fence around it and on one of the days we had an elephant looking over the fence.

There are monkeys, so just be aware of that.

Loved our time at Mazhou!
