The Pafuri Walking Trail is a three-night,
four-day walking trail in the spectacular, private Makuleke concession
of the northern Kruger National Park. It is perhaps the best area for
walking in the entire Kruger National Park and is blessed not only with
exceptional biodiversity but also spectacular scenery, seasonally high
densities of many large mammal species, a feeling of wilderness and
remoteness, and a sense of history. There is no better way to explore
this magnificent area than on foot.
Habitats include the life-giving arteries of
the Limpopo and Luvuvhu Rivers, both with well developed floodplains and
a series of vitally important seasonal pans. Between the two rivers lies
a ridge of hills with a network of drainage lines and secret perennial
springs to which the area's game is drawn. Rugged baobab dotted kopjes
jut from mopane woodland and endless vistas across palm-studded
floodplains, acacia woodland and ethereal riverine forest soothe the
soul.
Pafuri Walking Trails has scheduled
departures every Monday and Friday between 1 April and 31 October each
year. At an additional charge, the trail can also be booked on a FIT
basis and start on any other day of the week. We recommend spending a
night in Pafuri Camp before or after the trail.
Guests walk approximately three to four hours in the morning to a
pre-prepared brunch site. Relax and siesta during the heat of the day,
then walk about one-and-a-half hours in the afternoon. A wonderful
dinner is enjoyed and then overnight at the Trail camp before setting
off again the next morning.
Number of guests:
For scheduled departures on Mondays and Fridays, the minimum number of
guests is 2 and the maximum is 8. For the FIT departures, the minimum is
4 and the maximum is 8. This allows a group of people to book out the
entire trail.
