Jungle Junction

[pegasus 2]

I have no reason to be maliscious but i am genuinely mystified how Jungle Junction has gained such a high reputation among overlanders.
They had just moved to new premises when we stayed there but the new site was unprepared to receive visitors. Our first night had no water no electricity and no manager the next day There was sporadic water supply but no working showers (the showers were lying on the floor ) after four days some kind of water supply was restored but no hot water. he does offer restaurant facilities but that was not working. apparently the staff had more important things to do. Chris the manager was pretty unhelpful and not there very much. It is true to say that we went with high expectations as we needed repairs and information from other travellers. When I asked about workshop facilities I was told the mechanic is on leave and I am too busy.
i have no reason to wish that Chris shouldnt make a living but for me our experience came up well short of the expectations built by reports of other travellers. We left there very disatisfied and found another camp www.Wilderbeestecocamp.com which while not particularly geared up for overlanders he is very happy to accomadate them in this very pleasant and easygoing camp Wilderbeestcamp in Karen is recomended. The Owner Alan is a very helpful and welcoming guy.
These are my opinions and impressions just give it some thought before assuming that JJ is the only place for overlanders.

Happy travels!
