Fodor's Expert Review Pafuri Camp

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

This gorgeous camp stretches for more than a kilometer along the banks of the Luvuvhu River in Kruger's far north. The 240-square-km (93-square-mi) area embraces an amazing variety of landscapes and is one of the few places on Earth where fever-tree and baobab forests intermingle. Twenty-six luxury tents with en-suite bathrooms provide the ultimate glamping experience. Full borad is provided, and guests can partake in two game drives. But game viewing in the camp itself is extraordinary, with regular sightings of elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the rare and elusive Pel's fishing-owl. Guided birding walks can be arranged on request.

PROS

  • one of best locations in Kruger
  • terrific biodiversity
  • family-friendly

CONS
