Description

The seasonal three-night, four-day Pafuri Walking Trail takes place in the spectacular 24 000-hectare Makuleke Concession in the northernmost region of South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Each day is spent walking different parts of the area, along pathways made over the years by its animal inhabitants and following their tracks, all under the leadership of an experienced and armed guide.

Not only is there plenty of game, but there is also a unique range of habitat and scenery to explore: from the life-giving arteries of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu Rivers, well-developed floodplains and pans, rugged baobab-covered kopjes, dramatic mopane woodland and acacia, to the ethereal riverine forest. These landscapes are best experienced on foot and will bring guests closer to the astounding diversity of animal and bird life that makes Pafuri so special.

We immensley enjoyed our wlaking trails adventure the middle of October 2011, our rangers Jeffery and Steff were extremely knowledgable, they spoke from the indigenous cultural beliefs on one hand to the scientifc position on the other. They were knowledgable in botany, biridng and large and small animals information. The guides adapted to the groups wishes and desires, they kept us safe and secure. Nancy our camp hostess was present with smiles, even when the residnet elephant came to visit. For those physically able the experience of 6-7 hour morning hikes thorugh the bush cannot be beat, a new surprise around every corner, be it a group of elephants, a baby kudu with an umbilical cord hanging or the debatable white or albino elan calf, every day was something new. We had a five star time with no complaints. The trails food was wonderful and more than you could possibly eat. Thanks Jeffery, Steff and Nancy for a wonderful experience Bill & Alicia Bauman
