Pafuri Camp is situated in the far north of the Kruger National Park in an area that is diverse and scenically attractive and is one of the few true wilderness areas left in South Africa.  This 24,000-hectare concession is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and offers superbly varied vegetation and scenery, 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.  On the easternmost boundary the Luvuvhu supports large populations of hippo and crocodile.  Recently, species such as giraffe and white rhino have been relocated to the area, from which they have been locally extinct for almost a century. Activities in the concession are extremely varied and interesting.  Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, excellent guided walks, hides (including some that will cater for sleep-outs), rhino monitoring and gorge walks 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.  Throughout the concession there is evidence of its human inhabitants in the form of rock paintings and artefacts, beginning some 2 million years ago and continuing through the Stone Age and into the Iron Age.  Under many a baobab, Stone Age tools, such as hand axes, are to be found, but not taken. Accommodation consists of 20 tented cottages (including six very nice family rooms for up to four people), each with en-suite bathroom facilities.  The roomy, East African styled “Meru” tents are raised on decks and shaded by large thatched canopies.  The rooms all look out over the Luvuvhu River and guests can sit on their decks and watch for elephant, nyala, waterbuck or bushbuck coming down to drink.  The dining and bar area is shaded by majestic ebony trees and the camp has two swimming pools.
