Pafuri Camp Blog

July was a great month for sightings with massive herds of buffalo and elephant in Pafuri, guests were also lucky enough to see lion on foot!

If you didn’t already know, RETURNAfrica’s Pafuri Camp is a leading example of ethical, environmentally-friendly wildlife travel. Alongside nurturing the biodiversity and myriad of habitats and landscapes, a top priority is supporting the well-being of the local Makuleke community through best-practice, genuine partnership.

Executive Chef Donovan Saunders, known to us as Chefie D, has brought new life to the meals at Pafuri Camp. Having started in May 2017 he has turned the food experience into something delicious and memorable.

As our last guests for April flew out, we waved goodbye and welcomed in May.

50|50’s Bertus Louw visited RETURNAfrica’s Pafuri Camp in northern Kruger National Park and followed Alweet Hlungwani, one of our lead walking guides, to find out why and how he became a guide and what continues to inspire him to work in conservation. Bertus also chatted to Eric Tivani, one of the Makuleke elders, about the day the evictors arrived.
