Is the Pafuri Tented Camp for Me?

Situated between the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers, the 26 500-hectare Makuleke Contractual Park is the meeting point of a multitude of habitats, resulting in a region of extraordinary scenic beauty and biodiversity.

The concession is by far the most diverse within the whole of Kruger with almost three quarters of the Park’s bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile and tree species being found here.

The area has also long been regarded a destination of choice for southern African birdwatchers.

With an eco-friendly lodge (Pafuri Tented Camp), two walking safari camps (Pafuri Walking Safaris) and an exclusive use house (Baobab Hill House), guests enjoy a curated, deeper safari experience tailored to ensure journeys of discovery for all those who visit Pafuri

Pafuri Tented Camo is positioned along the Luvuvhu River, shaded by the giant trees that overhang the camp, shrouded in the history and incredible biodiversity of the region, offering guests an immersive experience different to any traditional safari location.

Baobab Hill Bush House

This rustic homestead offers ideal accommodation for families or friends seeking privacy and comfort in the bush.

It consists of four bedrooms ad sleeps up to eight people, with a home kitchen, open plane dining room and lounge, swimming pool, and Out of Africa verandah, perfect for sundowners or dinners in the early evenings.
