Pafuri Walking Trail Safari – Four Days

Overview

The Pafuri Walking Trail consists of a mobile camp. Using one campsite as your base, the day is spent walking through different habitats and along the tracks made by wild animals over the years. Walk the floodplains of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu Rivers, experience wide vistas where acacia woodland and riverine forests provide shade and time to reflect. The exquisite baobab trees (so well known in this province) are a site to behold, as are the perennial springs and the exquisite bird and animal life found in the region.

A trained guide well-versed in the region will lead the excursion and point out places of interest, explain animal behaviour and tell you about the fascinating history of the area.

This expedition is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts with a more adventurous nature.

The trails season runs from April 1 to October 31, with departures on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
