-National Park
This is an ex Air Force strip with an asphalt surface, ±3,000m long by 30m wide.

Kruger National Park was at the front lines when the war was raging in Mozambique and there were ANC incursions from Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania. Punda Maria was the northernmost outpost. This airfield was not even a minute away from the borders and within easy striking range of any target in most of Mozambique and all of Zimbabwe.
