RETURN Africa Walking Safaris

Accommodation Description

RETURN Africa Pafuri Walking Safaris is located in the magnificent Northern Greater Kruger in South Africa. Settled between the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers, this land is rich in biodiversity and is home to baobabs, fever trees, big cats and huge herds of elephants. But most importantly, this area is by far the best location for walking safaris in South Africa.

The RETURN Africa bush camp is the base from which these immersive, expertly guided walking safaris take place. The camps are open between April and October each year and offer bush lovers the rare opportunity to explore this untouched wilderness that is as vast as it is varied. Guests on RETURN Africa Pafuri Walking Safaris can expect to encounter an array of changing landscapes, from bushveld to riverine forests, mountains to floodplains, and perennial pans which all attract a spectacular variety of animals and birds. Discover forests of fever trees, groves of baobabs and a diverse collection of wildlife.

Setting Description

The Pafuri Triangle in South Africa, where RETURN Africa lodges are situated, has an ever-changing landscape host to large flood plains, rolling hills, and lush fever tree forests.
