Rather like the main area, the traditional safari tents are simple yet comfortable and suit the environment down to a tee. All tents have large, mesh windows and a zip-up door, as well as ensuite bathrooms with bucket showers. At the front, a couple of camp chairs sit on the veranda. There is no electricity in the camp, so tents are lit with kerosene lanterns, their hiss and sparkle adding to the rustic atmosphere. Twin beds are soft and cosy and fluffy blankets ward off the chilly winter nights.
Pafuri Walking Trails is owned by Return Africa which collaborates with the Makuleke people to promote ecotourism and conservation. They develop skills leading to employment in these sectors, establish links with local suppliers, and assist communities in gaining control of conservation land. Their efforts include setting up community-owned lodges, advocating responsible business practices, and documenting project lessons for industry-wide impact. The African Safari Foundation's mission aligns with rural development, emphasising community ownership, skills training, and equitable distribution of tourism benefits, particularly empowering women for sustainable change. A contribution of $30 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
