Situated between the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern sector of Kruger National Park is an area of 24,000 hectares called the Pafuri or the Makuleke. This area is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and is the most diverse and scenically attractive area in all of Kruger National Park.
Being so different from the rest of Kruger National Park it complements the scenery and experience offered at the lodges in the southern Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands.
This area is certainly the wildest and most remote part of Kruger National Park and offers varied vegetation, great wildlife viewing, the best birding in all of Kruger National Park and is filled with folklore of the early explorers and ancient civilisations.
