particularly of the Tuli elephants that come across the river to rendezvous
with friends and family in the Park. Many International and local birders have
ticked off species here that have been on their bucket list for 20 years. This
is the land of giant ancient baobab trees and we respectfully approach to
nestle against their bodies and embark an a inner journey of discovery within
our mortal souls. The place to stay is MOPANE BUSH LODGE. This 4-star luxury
lodge adjacent to Mapungubwe National Park offers personalised service and all
facilities at a reasonable price. The team is spear headed by the seasoned
Hotelier, Coba Röhm and she heads up a group of experienced staff members who

Overnight: Pafuri Luxury Tented Camp

RETURNAfrica’s origins lie at Pafuri in the far north of
the Kruger National Park. It is here, on the ancestral land of the Makuleke
people, that we have built a unique partnership and a collection of superb
safari experiences. Our operation is rooted in more than two decades of
friendship with the Makulekes, who lost their home under apartheid but who have
now returned as our landlords, our business partners and our guides.

Our concession lies in a vast triangle between the
Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers along South Africa’s north-eastern frontier. Between
them, the two great valleys embrace one of Africa’s most spectacular landscapes
with mountains and gorges in the west giving way to plains, pans, baobabs and
fever tree forests in the east. The land, particularly the low-lying
floodplains near the confluence at Crooks’ Corner where our camps are located,
harbours an abundance of life. Huge herds of elephant, buffalo and other game
congregate here, especially when the surrounding bush lies parched before the
rains. Predators and scavengers, ranging from the great cats and hyenas to
servals, genets, civets, caracals, amongst many others, find shelter here. The
wildlife roams without the hindrance of borders in a transfrontier park that
spans three countries. Our diversity also brings a profusion of birds, with
numerous specials in what pundits regard as South Africa’s most rewarding
birding destination.
