Pafuri Camp

Superior safari lodge situated in the northern section of the Kruger National Park.

  • Untamed Wilderness - situated in the northern-most sector of Kruger Park, this remote area is uncrowded and abounds in pristine and spectacular scenery.

  • Brilliant birding - if you're a twitcher, you'll love Pafuri, where you will see some of South Africa's most beautiful and rarest birds, including the Carmine Bee-Eater, Pel's Fishing Owl, Saddle-Billed Stork and a huge variety of raptors.

  • Ancient Civilizations - evidence of man living in this area dates back to more than 2 million years ago, and you can visit the Thulamela ruins where stone tools and artefacts litter the ground.

Pafuri Camp is a Kruger Park private safari lodge situated between the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern sector of the Kruger National Park. The 24 000-hectare area is called the Pafuri or the Makuleke. The 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.

Large herds of elephant and buffalo concentrate in and around the permanent waters of the Luvuvhu River in the dry winter months. There are also resident prides of lion and a healthy population of leopard. This is one of the few places in the Kruger where you have a good chance of spotting Eland and Sharpe's Grysbok, and is one of the top birding locations in South Africa.

One of the unusual aspects of this area is its palaeo-anthropological history, with evidence of early human ancestors stretching back some 2 million years through the Stone Age and into the Iron Age. The Tulamela dynasty, the original rulers of this area, constructed walls and other structures that are not dissimilar to those found at Great Zimbabwe. There are also rock engravings, hand tools and burial grounds to be found.
