Set in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, Pumba Private Game Reserve offers 6,500 hectares of stunning wilderness. Home to a pride of rare white lions, game drives and guided bush walks here will also provide you with the chance to spot the Big Five as well as hippo, hyena, cheetah, giraffe, antelope and over 300 bird species.
With spectacular views over the Bushveld and Lake Kariega, Pumba is perfect for couples and families who are looking for a comfortably elegant safari lodge. Choose between luxurious thatched chalets at the Water Lodge, with views over the lake, or the Bush Lodge, with vistas which flow naturally into the African Bushveld floodplain and Zuurberg Mountains beyond. All chalets open onto viewing decks and benefit from private plunge pools and outdoor showers.
After the excitement of spotting wildlife in the beautiful African wilderness, workout in the stylish modern gym at Msenge Bush Lodge or enjoy an invigorating treatment at the Soul Spa. In the evening, dine on delectable African fusion cuisine – indoors or beneath the starlit sky – complemented by a selection of exceptional locally produced wines from the cellar.
Your African safari adventure at Pumba Private Game Reserve & Spa will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
