 Pafuri Camp - Wilderness Safaris

Accomodation Bookings Required Guides
Wilderness Safaris´ Pafuri Camp is situated along the Luvuvhu River in the far northern Kruger National Park. The camp lies within the community owned Makuleke Concession and consists of 24 000ha of very diverse landscape between the Limpopo and Luvuvhu Rivers. This area has long been recognized as the most diverse within the entire Kruger and in an area just more than 1% the size of the park contains approximately 75% of its biodiversity. The location in extreme north eastern South Africa, and in such a diverse area, has resulted in a bird list of approximately 400 birds with some of the local specials being: Pel´s Fishing Owl, Three-banded Courser, Meves´s Starling, Tropical Boubou, Black-throated Wattle-eye, Grey-headed Parrot, Mottled and Böhm´s Spinetail, White-breasted Cuckooshrike, Bat Hawk and Racket-tailed Roller. The camp consists of 20 luxury tents (en-suite with indoor and outdoor showers) located in dense riverine forest along the Luvuvhu River. Activities in the concession include twice daily game drives or walks to legendary sites such as Crooks´ Corner, Lanner Gorge, the Limpopo pans and the Fever Tree forests. There is also the opportunity to explore rock art, Stone Age and Iron Age sites. Game viewing is very good with regular sightings of high profile species like elephant, buffalo, white rhino, lion and leopard, while regional specials such as eland, nyala, Sharpe´s grysbok and yellow-spotted rock dassie are also present. Each tent overlooks the Luvuvhu River, as do the camp´s two swimming pools and well appointed public area. Hearty meals of high quality are served here and or in a boma. Rates are available on a fully inclusive or Dinner, Bed and Breakfast basis. Rates: RRRR (c)
