Pafuri
Camp
is situated between the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern sector of
the Kruger National Park, in a 24 000-hectare area called the Pafuri or the
Makuleke. 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.
This area is certainly the wildest and most remote part of the Park and offers
varied vegetation, great game viewing, the best birding in all of the Kruger,
and is filled with folklore of the early explorers and ancient civilisations. 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. The 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. |

Pafuri Camp caters
for the traditional Kruger Park visitor and is the only camp accessible to
self-drivers in the extreme northern sector of the Park. Being so different from
the rest of the Park, it complements the scenery and experience offered at the
lodges in the southern Kruger and the Sabi Sands. Members visiting the lodges or
camps in the south can experience the Kruger in its entirety by including the
Pafuri/Makuleke region in their itineraries.
Accommodation
consists of 20 tented rooms (including six family rooms for up to four people),
each with en-suite bathroom facilities. The tented rooms all look out over the
Luvuvhu River; guests can sit on their decks and watch for elephant, nyala,
waterbuck or bushbuck coming down to drink - to name but a few! |

Activities in the
Makuleke/Pafuri area are extremely varied and interesting. Game drives in open
4x4 vehicles, night drives, walks, hides (including some that will cater for
sleep-outs) are all part of the range of activities that are on offer. One of
the most important aspects of this area is its palaeo-anthropological history,
with its plethora of evidence of early human ancestors stretching back some 2
million years ago, through the Stone Age and into the Iron Age about 400 years
ago when the Thulamela dynasty ruled in this area. This dynasty built incredible
structures that are not dissimilar to that found in the Great Zimbabwe.
Throughout the concession, there is evidence of its human inhabitants, in the
form of rock paintings and artefacts - under many a baobab are Stone Age hand
tools, such as hand axes, to be found. |
