Has to be one of the best places on earth! The location is incredible, accommodation so clean and comfortable, staff so attentive and obliging. Food is tasty and plentiful. Our guide was super-knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The second time we have visited. It won’t be the last!

An exceptional and intense experience in the Makuleke game reserve! We enjoyed every moment of our much too short stay, the friendliness of the staff that made us feel at home and more than welcome right from the beginning! Definitely highly recommendable!

We have just spent 6 nights in Pafuri and it exceeded all our expectations. The lodging, the food, the game drives were all superb. Zach our guide was fantastic and had our teenage boys both mesmerised and inspired. The staff accommodated our every need and were so friendly. The setting by the river was stunning as were the animals that we encountered. I couldn’t recommend Pafuri more highly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nossa experiência no Pafuri Camp foi, em grande parte, extraordinária. Os funcionários são extremamente cordiais, e o serviço é, na maior parte do tempo, impecável. Nosso guia, Bush, merece um agradecimento especial: foi uma das pessoas mais educadas, atenciosas e profissionais que já conheci. Os game drives são mágicos, e pequenos gestos, como o drink sem álcool e a toalha umedecida na volta, tornam tudo ainda mais especial. As tendas familiares são maravilhosas, com camas extremamente confortáveis. A alimentação também é excelente; apenas senti falta de mais opções no almoço e não apreciei algumas guarnições, embora tudo fosse de altíssima qualidade. Alguns pontos, porém, poderiam ser melhorados. Em todos os dias faltou água quente, impossibilitando que os quatro da família tomassem banho quente. As garrafas de água são apenas emprestadas e algumas estavam bastante desgastadas; pelo padrão do lodge, deveriam ser novas e definitivas para cada hóspede. Além disso, a lavanderia danificou muitas roupas da nossa família. A maior decepção foi outra: informei na reserva que a viagem comemorava os 15 anos do meu filho e recebi a resposta de que fariam o possível para preparar uma surpresa. Nada aconteceu. Na última noite, vimos outro hóspede receber uma linda homenagem, enquanto esqueceram completamente do meu filho. Apenas na saída tentaram improvisar um parabéns no café da manhã, o que recusamos. Foi uma falha que diminuiu uma experiência que tinha tudo para ser perfeita.

Superbissime avec un seul bemol

Superbissime Proximité parfois incroyable avec les animaux sauvages, y compris très près de la tenté, staff extrêmement prévenant et sumpathique. Seul bémol : pour ce prix, étonnant que les boissons ne soient pas comprises ( y compris lors des “drives”) et que nous ayons même été facturé des frais de bouchon pour 2 bouteilles de vin que nous avions amenées avec nous… Dommage, cela aurait été 10/10 autrement

Absolutely stunning location, you can just sit and watch elephants, buffalo & warthogs strolling past! The staff also cannot do enough for you, they even made us a packed lunch on our last day as we had a 7 hour drive. Would 100% recommend.

Lodge authentique plein de charme avec vue magnifique sur le fleuve où les animaux viennent boire ! Chaque tente est pourvue de tout le confort ! Personnel très accueillant et souriant, on sent chez soi! Seul bémol la piscine qui a première vue à l’air sale, même si ce n’est pas le cas Les safaris sont magnifiques aussi!

Luxus im Busch

Geniale Anlage mit einem super freundlichen Team. Luxus Zelt Unterkünfte die sehr edel sind. Das Essen ist qualitativ auf einem sehr hohem Niveau. Manchmal hätte ich dann doch lieber einfach nur ein Steak gehabt mit Pommes, aber das natürlich Geschmacksache. Das wichtigste sind meiner Meinung nach die Game Drives und diese waren zu 100% ihr Geld wert. Morgens um 6 Uhr los, 4 Stunden auf Pirschfahrt durch den Busch und abends um 16 Uhr ebenfalls 4 Stunden. Da wir den Vergleich haben zu günstigeren Lodges / Game Drives haben, sehe ich hier den erhöhten Preis als vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Dieses Reserve liegt im Norden und ist anscheinend Hotspot für Leute die auf Vögel stehen. Kenne mich da nicht so aus, mir wurde nur von den Gästen erzählt das man hier seltene Vögel beobachten kann. Zusammengefasst kann ich sagen, 2 Nächte hier und wir haben mehr Tiere (in extremer Nähe) gesehen als in anderen Lodges oder bei Fahrten mit unserem eigenen Auto durch den Park. Beste Zeit für Vögel und Ruhe (Game Drives haben wir alleine gemacht) Januar-März. Für Big 5 eher ab Juni - Dezember, danach wandern die Tiere in den Süden. Unser Driver Adele ist der beste Mann überhaupt. Immer gut drauf und versucht wirtlich alles um die Wünsche der Gäste zu erfüllen.
