Accommodation Description

RETURN Africa Pafuri Tented Camp is an immersive glamping safari in the 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. There are 19 luxury tented suites that stretch along the river, each linked by raised wooden walkways. Private viewing decks, en-suite bathrooms (with indoor and outdoor showers) and huge beds with crisp linen offer guests absolute comfort while enjoying the sights and sounds of the wild African bush.

A bush bar, large swimming pool and an outdoor dining area offer everyday entertainment, and there’s plenty of space to unwind beneath the towering Jackalberry canopy which shades the expansive decks. In addition to early morning coffee or tea, guests can enjoy three delicious meals served each day. Guests are invited to take advantage of professionally guided morning and afternoon game drives to experience the extraordinary biodiversity, scenic surrounds and unique history for which the Kruger National Park Pafuri region is renowned.

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. This unique environment makes for a wildlife-rich experience, frequented by apex predators such as hyena, leopards and crocodiles, large herds of elephants and buffalo, and many rare, beautiful birds.

The RETURN Africa accommodation collection consists of RETURN Africa Pafuri Tented Camp, RETURN Africa Pafuri Walking Safaris, and RETURN Africa Baobab Hill House. No matter which stay you choose, you can be guaranteed a special combination of adventure, tranquillity, comfort and serenity that RETURN Africa is known for – where lovers of nature and the wild African bush will find themselves in their element.

Baobab Hill - private bliss

What could be more refreshing than waking up to the sound of birds singing their African melodies? That's the sound I heard every morning accompanied by different sounds of animals from monkeys to the great elephant. The game drives were amazing. Make sure you visit the Lanner gorge, it was amazing

Our stay at Pafuri Walking Camp was a once in a lifetime experience!  We had an incredible time.  I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the team at the camp were - from ranger to chef and housekeeping they all ensured we had the best time!  Will definitely keep a close eye on all Conservio offers!

Roughly 30kms north of the Soutpansberg, turn right onto the R525 towards Tshipise (the last fuel stop before the park). Continue past Tshipise on the R525 and on to Pafuri Gate. At Pafuri Gate, register as guests of 'Pafuri Camp'. At the gate, you will have to pay the Kruger Park conservation fee.
