Eagles Nest Bush Camp !

Just spent a few days at this lovely campsite! Eagles Nest is super - 8 sites all with private ablutions, a braai, electric power and a fire pit. Lots of shade, a kiddies play area and a small pool. On a working farm, so there are some buck as well as sheep that roam around the campsite.
Nice and quiet.
Eagles Nest is on the road between Bela-Bela and Thabazimbi.
Really nice !

Playground
Lovely kiddies playground. A trampoline, swings, slides and more!

Toilets
Private ablutions for each site. Really nice shower, flush toilet, hand basin and wash up facilities for each site.

Date Visited - January 2022

Lower Sabie is one of the popular camps in the Kruger National Park. Nice campsites, some with shade. All are paved and have a braai, electricity as well as a tap (nearby). Be aware that some of the campsites are small and it's first come first served. So, look around if you have a big rig! The ablutions were clean neat and tidy. The rest camp has a big shop as well as a restaurant. The restaurant has a lovely deck overlooking the Sabie River. Unfortunately, none of the campsite have a river view. The rest camp does also have a swimming pool.

The rest camp is also near the Sunset Dam, a popular place for birdwatching as well as viewing the many animals that come down to drink.

Date Visited : April 2021

This campsite is situated within the Kruger National Park, in South Africa. Its quiet a big campsite and the ablutions are a long way from some of the campsites (depending on where you set up camp). All the sites ahve electric power points. There is a nice swimming pool. When you book you book either sites along the fence or "inside" sites. We had a site along the fence (paid for it) - but did not see any animals from our site. There are camp kitchens where you can cook on gas and get hot water as well as wash your dishes.

What we liked about this campsite:

• Situated within Kruger
• Lovely drive across the river
• Nice clean ablutions
• The swimming pool

What we did not like about ths campsite:

• Nothing

Punda Maria Campsite - Campsite Review

• Kruger National Park
• Campsites with and without electricity

Date Visited: April 2021

This campsite, situated within the Kruger National Park, is in the very Northern section of the Kruger. It has sites with and sites without electricity. There is a lovely hide/viewing deck overlooking a waterhole (when  the renovations are complete the waterhole will be refilled) and you can see a variety of game at from the hide.

The camp does have a swimming pool (lovely and clean) and there is a shop as well as a restaurant. In addition, the camp has a fuel station where you can fill up on diesel and petrol. There are a number of self drive routes near the camp and we found these to be very usefull for late afternoon drives.

This is one route option:

But we prefer to keep on the N1 and enter the Kruger at the Pafuri gate:

What we liked about Punda Maria:

• The hide/viewing deck
• The restaurant
• The easy access to lovely short drives
• The Northern Kruger (Crooks Corner)
• The swimming pool

What we did not like about Punda Maria:

• The fact that when it's busy the staff do not check if those that have booked sites without electricity are in fact not using the electricity plugpoints. When you arrive in the busy season, it's unlikely that you will get a plugpointy even if you have booked and paid for one!
• The ablutions were very old and in need of updating. (this may have been done by now)

Date Visited : March 2021

This campsite is situated within the Kruger National Park, in South Africa. It's a fantastic campsite. It's termed a rustic campsite because there is no electricity, no shop and there are no chalets. It's just an amazing campsite. The campsite is fenced, but when you leave or return you have to open and close the gate yourself. There are ablutions, a section where you can cook on gas powered cookers as well as a dish washing section.

You have various routes from Johannesburg, as depicted below :

And the campsite is situated near a river (but unfortunately you cannot see the river from the campsite):

What we like about this campsite:

• Situated within the Kruger National Park
• Rustic (no noise from shops, chalets etc)
• No power (so its generally quieter)
• Lovely ablutions (hot water form gas)
• Plenty of trees
• Owels frequent the trees and you can view a few of these
• The froendle manager and his wife
• Just the pure bush feel

What we did not like about this campsite:

• Absolutly nothing
