The Pafuri Traverse

A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WILDSIDE TRAILS & RETURN AFRICA

Walk the wild frontier of northern Kruger

The Pafuri Traverse is a five night, six day wilderness walking trail through the far north of Kruger National Park. Guests cover one of South Africa’s most diverse landscapes entirely on foot, guided by experienced trail guides and carrying their own pack.

All five nights are spent out in the bush, for a fully immersive Pafuri experience.
