What makes the Pafuri region special for wildlife and nature lovers?
Pafuri is a meeting point of ecosystems, where bushveld, riverine forest, and floodplains converge. It’s a hotspot for birding (over 450 species recorded) and wildlife sightings, including elephant, buffalo, leopard, eland, and nyala. It’s also home to up to 30 pans, including seasonal, annual, and perennial wetlands. Many of these pans are now recognised as Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance, highlighting their ecological value and global significance.
