Hi.
Can anyone tell me if there are toilet facilities anywhere along the H1-8 from Pafuri to Punda Maria. I have looked at the map book and there don't seem to be any and it it quite a long drive.

We will be there in 2 weeks and I am trying to plan the trips.

Thanks
Cheryl

There are no toilet facilities between Punda and Pafuri. And I agree, it is a long road without such facilities. Personally I reckon that there should be more toilet/picnic facilities in the park (especially as I get older now and feel the need for much more such facilities).

The wild far north is not for the "weak-bladdered"... or should I say weak-bladdered AND faint-hearted


Okay, jokes aside.

Taking the shortest route from Punda to Pafuri, puts you at Pafuri Picnic spot about 2 hours later (unless you meet some stubborn ellies on the way)... We've find that delaying the early morning coffee until one gets to Pafuri picnic spot helps with full bladder problems. The picnic spot is also nice and central for exploring the Pafuri area.. Just make sure you stop there last thing before heading back to Punda.

oh dear, the Kruger curse

pit stops

I also try to curb my morning drinking.. as opposed to my evening drinking.

Suddenly the wicked step mother from Snow White came to mind, but with a twist:

Bladder, bladder on the wall
who is the fullest of us all?

Thanks all. It looks like I will have to really have to plan this far north trip well.

There is a really nice Clusterleave about 4 k's south of Baobab hill.

Thanks Scipio
I am one of those people where my body goes into shutdown if there is no loo!!!!

If you are near Crooks Cnr and need the loo, you can also use the one at the border post about 3km from there.
