Why we like it

The Reserve

Situated between the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern section of the Kruger National Park is the Pafuri region, an area spanning 24'000 hectare. Within the Pafuri area is the Makuleke Concession, the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and the most diverse and scenically attractive area in the Kruger National Park.

The Makuleke Concession is not accessible to the ordinary tourist visiting the park. This area belongs to the Makuleke community, who were removed in 1968. After a lengthy process, however, it was finally returned to the community in 1998 in what was a historical event in South Africa.

This area is certainly the wildest and most remote part of the

1/6

Kruger National Park and offers varied vegetation, great wildlife viewing and the best birding in all of the park.

All the wildlife that one would expect to see in a great national park such as Kruger can potentially be encountered on the concession. Plains game such as Zebra, Kudu and Impala are common, while Lions and Leopards are special sighting. Herds of Elephant, a few Rhinoceros, African Buffalo, Nyala antelope and also seldom-seen animals such as Eland and Bushpig can be seen.

The Baobab Hill Bush House

1/5

Baobab Hill Bush House once accommodated the Pafuri Section Ranger. It is an exclusive use bush house situated on a small hill just north of the Luvuvhu River, with excellent views of the surrounding area.

It can accommodate up to eight guests in four luxurious bedrooms. There are two en-suite bathrooms and one family bathroom.

The open-plan kitchen, the dining room and lounge provide ample space to spend time together. The "Out of Africa" veranda is the highlight of the bush house, and you'll find yourself drawn to it for sundowners and stargazing. Beside

the veranda you find an outdoor swimming pool, a boma and outdoor fire pit or braai area.

Baobab Hill Bush House is fenced, offering a child friendly environment.

All bedrooms have fans, mosquito nets and double or twin beds.
