Pafuri Wilderness Trails

One of the best ways to enjoy the feeling of remoteness and wilderness in this most biodiverse area of the Kruger is on foot. Pafuri Wilderness Trails, a three-night, four-day walking trail in the concession, allows guests a more intimate encounter with the diversity of wildlife, the spectacular scenery and its wealth of human history.

Accommodation for a maximum of eight trailists is in en-suite thatch and canvas tents raised on low platforms. A covered dining area overlooks the fire where all cooking takes place and from the shade of the central Nyala-berry tree, glimpses of the Limpopo floodplain are visible. A waterhole and nearby spring ensure that game is never too far away from this intimate and rustic camp. The trail is led by an experienced, armed guide and tracker, and the emphasis of the experience is on the concept of wilderness.

Habitats that are encountered include the riverine areas of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers, as well as seasonal pans and secret perennial springs. Rugged baobab-dotted kopjes jut from mopane woodland and endless vistas across palm-studded floodplains, acacia woodland and ethereal riverine forest soothe the soul.

NOTE: Walking Trails are only operational in March 2008. If you are wanting to do a Walking Trail for 2007, we will only allow this for groups of 6-8 guests only, operating from Pafuri Camp.
