South Africa Kruger National Park

Pafuri Camp

Pafuri Camp by Dana AllenPafuri Camp lies in the wildest and most remote part of the Kruger National Park and offers varied vegetation, great game viewing, and the best birding in all of the Kruger. It is well known for its fever tree forests, beautiful gorges and Crook's Corner, where the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers and three countries, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique, meet. This area is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and is one of the most diverse and scenically attractive areas in the Kruger National Park.

Pafuri’s accommodation consists of twenty tented rooms, including six family rooms for up to four people, each with a private bathroom. These spacious tented rooms all look out over the Luvuvhu River and guests can sit on their decks and watch for elephant, nyala, waterbuck or bushbuck coming down to drink.

Pafuri Camp by Colin BellThe region is considered one of Kruger's biodiversity hotspots, with some of the largest herds of elephant and buffalo, leopard and lion and incredibly prolific birdlife. Activities here are extremely varied and interesting. Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, walks, hides are all part of the experience. There is an abundance of evidence of early human ancestors stretching from the Stone Age and into the Iron Age about 400 years ago when the Thulamela dynasty ruled in this area. Look for the rock paintings and artifacts — under many baobab there are Stone Age hand tools, such as hand axes.
