The 350 km-long Kruger National Park offers enormous diversity, and Pafuri Camp in the far north-east is a perfect illustration of this. Pafuri is an incomparable area for walking safaris.
With 75% of Kruger’s range of flora and fauna, the region is made up of lush gorges, rocky mountains, plains and forests. Pafuri Camp is located in the Makuleke’s 26,000 ha private concession, near the Luvuvhu River.
This Makuleke-owned land is the meeting point of a multitude of habitats, making it an area of extraordinary beauty and biodiversity. The concession is by far the most diverse in the whole of Kruger, with almost three quarters of the park’s bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile and tree species. The area has also long been considered a top destination for birdwatchers.
You’ll enjoy two safari activities a day in this corner of paradise – bush walks in the morning with your armed guide, then a 4×4 safari in the late afternoon and early evening in search of nocturnal animals.
The Balule Private Game Reserve – Tsonga for “buffalo” – is part of the legendary Kruger National Park. This private concession, crisscrossed by rivers, plains and immense savannah woodlands, is the ideal vantage point for tracking the Big Five, the great lords of the savannah that once terrified Africa’s hunters and poachers – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros. It boasts 35,000 hectares of green spaces where you can relax, recharge your batteries and reconnect with nature. The Olifants River runs for 20 km through the heart of the reserve, making it an ideal destination for birdwatchers.
The elephants don’t go unnoticed, the lions prowl around and tracking leopards is thrilling! With the help of experienced safari guides, the chance of encountering one of these animals is highly likely.
A night safari is a powerful experience. As night falls, unusual creatures take advantage of the darkness to hunt and feed – leopards, lions, hyenas, porcupines, galagos, wild dogs…. You’ll criss-cross the savannah at night in search of them. The vehicles are equipped with spotlights to help you spot them. Ideal for photography!
Full day city tour, street art, Nelson Mandela Apartheid Museum, visit to Soweto.
Accommodation in a 4-star guest house in a northern district of Johannesburg.
You’ll spend 3 nights in a luxury tent, with all comforts, in a double room.
The lodge is located in the Makuleke concession along a river. Wonderful safaris on foot and in 4×4 vehicles await you, with vast herds of buffalo and elephant, nyalas, kudus, birds…
Two safari activities a day: bush walks in the morning with your armed guide, followed by a 4×4 safari in the late afternoon and early evening in search of nocturnal animals.
Stay for 3 nights in a charming setting, with thousands of hectares to explore and reconnect with life.
Calm, voluptuousness and simplicity make this refined family lodge a warm haven of peace. The plunging view over the savannah from the terrace invites you to dream away.
Nambu camp has 6 rooms, and the group will enjoy exclusive use of the communal areas.
Your trip will end with 2 nights in a typical tented camp in a wildlife reserve situated near Hoedspruit, the small safari hub of the Limpopo province. A visit to the magnificent Blyde River Canyon and other optional activities await you (hot-air ballooning, visits to conservation or community projects, etc.).
The Blyde River Canyon, the third largest canyon in the world, located north of the Drakensberg mountain range, is a must-see!
You’ll find many treasures to admire in the canyon, among them:
You’ll be walking for 3 to 4 hours a day on your walking safari. The terrain is flat and easy. This is more of a relaxing nature walk than a sporty activity.
Walking in the bush among wild animals is a sensational experience; you won’t feel the time go by…
No specific fitness level is required.
