Pafuri Camp
The Makuleke Concession set within the Kruger National Park is one of the few true wilderness areas left in South Africa. Large herds of elephant and buffalo are resident most of the year round. There are resident prides of lion and the Luvuvhu riparian system supports a healthy population of leopard. Wild dog and cheetah have been sighted hunting the strong population of nyala and impala that live alongside the Luvuvhu system on the southern boundary.
On the eastern most boundary at "Crook's Corner" the Luvuvhu supports a large population of hippo and crocodile. The Makuleke Concession is probably one of the few places in the Kruger where you have a good chance of spotting eland and Sharpe's grysbok, and is regarded as probably the birding hotspot of South Africa with specialities such as Pel's Fishing Owl, Wattle-eyed Flycatcher, Golden-backed Pytilia, Crowned eagles and Racket-tailed rollers.
Pafuri Camp is situated between the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern sector of the Kruger National Park, in a 24 000 hectare area called the Pafuri or the Makuleke.
