It all began at Pafuri.
Nestled between the banks of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers, far in the north of the Kruger National Park, lies a land embraced by mountains and gorges. A land of baobabs and fever trees, of great cats and huge herds of elephant. A land humming with life. It is against this rich landscape that our safari experiences unfold, whether it’s at Pafuri Tented Camp, or on a Pafuri Walking Safari.
What stirs you?
Is it the call of the wild, the promise of places unexplored?
