Enjoy luxury eco-friendly, safari accommodation, bush walking trails & guided game drives. Located at Pafuri Camp in Northern Kruger National Park South Africa.
Situated between the Limpopo and Luvuvhu Rivers, the 26,500-hectare Makuleke Contractual Park is the meeting point of a multitude of habitats, resulting in a region of extraordinary scenic beauty and biodiversity. The concession is by far the most diverse within the whole of Kruger, with almost three-quarters of the park’s bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, and tree species being found here. The area has also long been regarded as a destination of choice for southern African birdwatchers. With an eco-friendly lodge (Pafuri Tented Camp), two walking safari camps (Pafuri Walking Safaris), and an exclusive-use house (Baobab Hill House), guests enjoy a curated, deeper safari experience tailored to ensure journeys of discovery for all those who visit Pafuri.
Pafuri Tented Camp is positioned along the Luvuvhu River, shaded by the giant trees that overhang the camp, shrouded in the history and incredible biodiversity of the region, offering guests an immersive experience unlike any traditional safari location.
Guests can enjoy scenic game drives to various points of interest in the concession, including but not limited to Lanner Gorge, the Limpopo Flood Plain, the Fever Tree Forest, the Nyala Berry Forest, seasonal wetlands, and Mangala. Bush walks—an ideal way to experience the forests, floodplains, gorges, and kopjes between the two rivers—allow for a more intimate exploration of this remote and pristine landscape. For birdwatchers seeking specials like Pel’s Fishing Owl or anyone seeking solitude and wilderness, this is one of Africa’s great walking destinations.
Pafuri Tented Camp offers a walking activity from April to October each year (Pafuri Walking Safaris) to celebrate a rarely explored landscape that is as vast and varied as it is wild. Guests staying at Pafuri Tented Camp can pre-arrange to swap out a morning game drive for a bush walk to explore the concession on foot.
Experience the beauty of bush dinners along the Luvuvhu River or bush breakfasts amongst the giant Nyala Berry trees, as well as boma evenings filled with storytelling by the Makuleke people. Full-day excursions with a picnic lunch, allowing you to venture further afield, can also be pre-arranged with the reservation office.

Extraordinary Trip to South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
After a year of planning with Safari.com, Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser, our long wait was greatly rewarded. In September 2025, we spent 21 extraordinary days in South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Our plan was to start in Cape Town, go to Zulu Nyala and then another safari in Kruger. With expertise guidance from Leighann Croeser, we added in Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, Victoria Falls, Panoramic Route, and Johannesburg. These additions to our trip, greatly enhanced our FIRST African vacation, adding incredible sites, knowledgeable tours and beautiful accommodations. Our visit to Cape Town was all arranged by Leighann. She gave us hotel choices based on what we wanted to do. We choose the Winchester Hotel. A beautiful location with the popular walking path going around the bay, a delicious restaurant on property, and wonderful rooms with views. We loved the courtyard! We had a wonderful driver, David, for three day who arranged our visit to the Apartheid Museum, Atlas Spice Shop, Table Mountain, Stellenbosch wineries, Cape of Good Hope, and penguins! After four fun filled days, we headed up to Zulu Nylan Safari Lodge for 6 nights, Johannesburg -1 night so we could drive the Panoramic Route staying at Angles View Hotel, Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge – 3 nights and finally Victoria Falls – 4 nights with a both sides tour of Victoria Falls and the Steam Train Dinner. Here is our big note: Flying and driving around to each of these locations takes incredible experience and planning for your trip. Trying to navigation these websites in America was difficult. We can’t tell you how important it is to have someone in Africa to handles these domestic flights, hotels reservations and drivers. Leighann booked all of our interior airline flights, checked us in for every flight, and drivers for every flight. We had a weather delay in Richard’s Bay. Our flight to Johannesburg was delayed 5 hours. Leighann called our hotel - DaVinci, the restaurant we booked for that night (Alto234) and the driver. Upon arrival, we were promptly met by our driver and taken to this beautiful hotel downtown Johannesburg. A little late to dinner but the most incredible evening at the top of Alto234 Bar with endless views. Leighann Croeser is an amazing, highly experience travel consultant for “all of Africa”. We can’t say enough good words about her. She enhanced our visit to an unexpected level of service, a can-do attitude with a grace we have never experienced! When you’re so far away in country, like Africa, you want our Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser as your travel adviser!
