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!

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.

Stayed 4 nights - sheer perfection and so so quiet at night. Could not find fault and recommend to other friends already. We will be back again.

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!
