What wildlife will I see?

Expect a remarkable diversity of species, including:

Elephants, buffalo, nyala, kudu, zebra, and other plains game

Predators like leopards, hyenas, and occasionally lions or wild dogs

Over 450 species of birds, making Pafuri one of South Africa’s premier birding destinations

Unique sightings such as Pel’s Fishing Owl, Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Racket-tailed Roller, Bohm’s and Mottled spinetails, Arnot’s Chat and Gorgeous bushshrike.

This region is less about ticking off the Big 5 and more about slowing down and tuning in to the rhythm of the bush.
