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,
some of 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.
Accommodation at Pafuri Camp
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!
Attractions and Activities at Pafuri Camp
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.
