Media Release: Pafuri Border Camp to open for tourists on 1 November

The Kruger National Park (KNP) will open the latest addition to its accommodation portfolio called the Pafuri Border Camp, to tourists on Sunday, 1 November 2015. Situated in the Pafuri section of the Park (about 70km from Punda Maria Camp Gate), the bush lodge was converted from what used to be called The Employment Bureau of Africa Ltd (TEBA) Tourism Facility.

“We are excited about this new addition as the accommodation facility has a rich history and our tourists will be able to spend more time in the area. With abundance of large trees due to its proximity to Luvuvhu and Limpopo Rivers, the border camp will offer great birding opportunities to guests”, said KNP Managing Executive, Mr Glenn Phillips.

The facility includes three houses (Mockford Residence, Mockford Cottage and Dr Guesthouse) which can accommodate up to 18 people i.e. eight, four and six people respectively. There is a reception, a swimming pool on offer and a museum, which will be operational next year.

“The establishment of this facility had a negligible environmental impact as all the buildings were already there and all that was needed was to re-organise things and equip the units with tourist basic needs”, said Phillips.
