Adventure Safari Description |
 Pafuri Wilderness Trail is a three-night, four-day walking trail in the spectacular, private Makuleke concession of the northern Kruger National Park.
This Walking Trail caters for both the international traveller as well as the traditional Kruger Park visitor. It is perhaps the best area for walking in the entire Kruger National Park and is blessed not only with exceptional biodiversity but also spectacular scenery, seasonally high densities of many large mammal species, a feeling of wilderness and remoteness, and a sense of history.
Trails run on a schedule departure basis; either Tuesday to Friday or Friday to Monday. All guests need to check in at Pafuri Camp by 14h00 in order to sign indemnity forms. Shaded parking is available here. Transport to the trails camp is in an open 4x4 vehicle .
Pafuri Walking Trail camp will be fully operational by March 2008. In the meantime, Pafuri Walking Trails will be available during 2007 and early 2008 to groups of 6 to 8 guests operating from our existing Pafuri Camp ONLY. As there is only one qualified walking guide at present, it is vital that guests confirm with their agents that he is available for the time they are in camp. Please note that guests will be staying at Pafuri Camp itself and not at the Pafuri Trails Camp and thus do not have to bring beverages etc |

Day 2 (Wednesday or Saturday):
05h00 - wake up.
05h30 - coffee and rusks before heading out on the morning walk. The direction of the walk will depend on local animal activity, but is likely to investigate the nearby waterhole or spring for the tracks of the night before and where appropriate to follow these tracks with the intention of finding the animal. Walking along animal paths and investigating likely areas for game or bird activity should see a 3-4 hour walk arriving back in camp for brunch.
10h00 - hearty brunch cooked on the fire together with fruit and cereal, followed by a midday siesta listening to cicadas, emerald-spotted wood doves and other sounds of the heat of the day.
16h30 - afternoon tea followed by a short afternoon walk.
18h00 - arrive back in camp before dark for a shower and drinks while the evening's food is prepared on the fire. After dinner relax around the fire before retiring to an early bed and the night sounds
