This tented lodge is a great base for birders who want to find the northern Kruger park ‘specials’ and who are prepared to pay for the privilege of being looked after by a very special team. We always find that attention to detail is a good differentiator between luxury safari providers and the team at the Pafuri Tented Camp, led by Enos, certainly deserved the 5 star rating we’ve given them. The team made us feel at home in a relaxed but smoothly run atmosphere. Everything worked well, from the easy check in, to the friendly care that was provided by every staff member we encountered. Safari guides can make or break your holiday and our wonderful guide Zach certainly added a huge amount to our experience. The team knew we were birders, assigned us a guide who was an outstanding birder and it was a great match. We saw and photographed lots of birds! The tents are lovely and well equipped to a high standard. The food was great and the portion sizes just right. We highly recommend this camp.

My wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with 4 nights at Pafuri Tented Camp and it was one of the best bush experiences we have ever had. The camp was amazing, the staff both in camp and our guide Esaya, were all incredible and the food was outstanding. But what really made the trip special was the bush, just a magical part of the Kruger that is difficult to fully describe. Amazing diversity meant every drive was different. Thank you to everyone for making our anniversary as special as you did. We cannot wait to return!

We visited Pafuri Lodge on the banks of the Levuvhu river as well as Baobab Hill House - both part of the ReturnAfrica Collection in the Makuleke Contractual Park - the northernmost part of Kruger National Park. The concession was one of the first successful land claims after 1994, now again belongs to the Makuleke people, and is managed by ReturnAfrica who mostly employ people from the Makuleke Clan. This story makes me feel proudly South African. The land, its people, game, birds, trees, archeology, stars overwhelmed and humbled me. The richness and diversity offers an experience like no other. If you are lucky (and with a guide like Bongz) you may see Pel’s Fishing Owl, Three Banded Co****r, Arnot’s Chat, the most breathtaking baobab trees, and so much more. Next time I’m staying in one of the trails camps to explore that place on foot! Thank you Godfrey, Enos, Ezra, Bongz, and so many other staff members for accepting us into the ReturnAfrica family. We will be back soon.

Das war die schönste und beste Lodge, die wir je in Südafrika gebucht hatten. Der Service, die Unterkunft, das Essen, die Game Drives, alles waren super. Unser Guide Brigthon war der beste Guide, den wir je erlebt haben. Das gesamte Personal war immer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ein Urlaub kann schöner nicht sein.

My friends and I stayed at Return Africa for 3 nights and only have wonderful things to say about the experience. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived but highlights definitely include the incredible food, amazing game drives - especially the sundowners, absolutely world class bird watching from the patio and the incredible staff. Godfrey, Ezra, Ellen, Bold, Hilton, Pinkie, Fiona and the rest team - thank you for everything. Our guide, Ezaya, is incredible, being able to see everything in the bush with an incredible wealth of knowledge to share. Andile, Hla-hla, Q and the other guides are also wonderful and finding an opportunity to talk to all of them is highly recommended. Overall, worth every cent. I wish we could have stayed longer.

What an incredible experience it was staying at the Return African Pafuri Camp in northern Kruger! Absolutely everything (from the staff to the food to the accommodation to the amenities to the game drives, etc...) were simply amazing. Our favourite highlights must include having drinks/meals out in the bush, during which time we always felt totally safe thanks to the professionalism of the staff involved. I would happily recommend choosing the Pafuri Camp by Return Africa for your visit to the Kruger!

The location on the Levuvhu River is fantastic, view from the decks is beautiful. Excellent for birdlife. And the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was delicious. It is a special place

An absolute gem. Incredibly beautiful location. Amazing staff and service and the rooms have an incredible view right on the river. Would highly recommend it. You'll see abundance of wildlife, and if you're into birding, there couldn't be a better location in South Africa.
