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 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 different to any traditional safari location.
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 - the best way to experience the forests, floodplains, gorges and kopjes between the two rivers is on foot. Walking this remote and pristine landscape allows a more intimate experience and is the ideal option for bird watchers looking for specials like Pel’s Fishing Owl as well others seeking solitude and wilderness in one of Africa’s great landscapes in an unrivalled walking destination.
Pafuri Tented Camp offers a walking activity from April to October each year (Pafuri Walking Safaris) to allow nature lovers to celebrate a rarely explored place that is as vast and varied as it is wild. Guests staying at Pafuri Tented Camp can pre-arrange to swop out a morning game drive for a bushwalk to explore the concession on foot.
Experience the beauty bush dinners along the Luvuvhu River,and or bush breakfast amongst the giant Nyala Berry trees or a boma evening filled with storytelling by the Makuleke people. Full-day excursions with a picnic lunch,that allow you to venture further afield, pre-arranged with the reservation office.

Nicole at Safari.com is AMAZING!!!
I would love to share my experience with Nicole. She has worked tirelessly to help me make my dream vacation a reality. I had no idea how to start planning. Nicole suggested the most wonderful South African resorts and safaris. No matter how many changes I threw her way it was always received with a happy, positive attitude. I live in Hawaii and even though we were on a 12 hour time difference she was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her expertise, knowledge and patience are unmeasurable. I was plagued with numerous payment issues from my bank in Hawaii. Nicole never wavered from being patience and more importantly positive that we could resolve each issue and get my trip booked. Nicole is a huge asset to Safari.com and I will scream it from the mountains to let everyone know what excellent customer service I have received. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR!!! We are so excited for our upcoming adventure of a lifetime!

Nicole at Safari.com
It was a pleasure to work with Nicole from Safari.com to secure our hotel stay at the Palace of the Lost City. Communication with Nicole was excellent, and she always kept us updated on the process of booking our dream vacation. She was even able to reserve the suite we wanted at a discounted rate! I would highly recommend Nicole and Safari.com to book your next dream safari adventure.

It was a great experience dealing with Shann. She was most accommodating and patient. We managed to sort things out very eventually. The only sore point I have is the 2 % surcharge for the card handling fee, which I find too excessive. Otherwise, I am pleased with everything.

Keith went above and beyond…
Keith went above and beyond expectations arranging our holiday safari travels (for one vegan and one mobility-impaired traveller, no less:-). Safari.com is lucky to have Keith on board. He helped us feel confident in our choices, keeping us up to date with options, and finessing holiday scheduling issues with aplomb.

Trip to Kruger at Mdluli Safari Lodge
I loved working with Anja from safari.com. She put together my itinerary within my price range and was very professional, thorough and empathetic. She followed up with me many times to see if I needed anything throughout my trip and even filled out some forms for me when I was having difficulty. When the lodge I stayed at was not being accommodating in the slightest, she quickly contacted the manager and got them to rearrange their services to meet my needs. I would most certainly use safari.com again due to my wonderful experience working with Anja.
