Nestled in the heart of the malaria-free Eastern Cape, is the perfect destination for those in search of a unique five-star African bush safari, Pumba Private Game Reserve. Pumba offers guests access to a rich biodiversity-filled, Big Five game viewing experience that includes its famous white lion, hippo, hyena, giraffe, cheetah and wild dog plus 21 antelope species and 270 species for birds.
Guests can partake in an array of activities, including guided bush walks with experienced rangers, game drives aboard luxury custom-made Land Rovers, thrilling nocturnal drives, birding safaris with spectacular sightings, relaxing bass fishing and stargazing under the amazing African night sky, as well as archery under trained supervision. For less active days, relax and rejuvenate in the Spa and Gym, which is completely surrounded by the untamed African bush. Off-reserve activities include golf, beach horserides, skydiving and scuba-diving, for which transfers can be arranged.
Pumba boasts two unique lodge settings. Msenge Bush Lodge, overlooking the Kariega River floodplain, complete with waterhole and panoramic views of the Zuurberg mountains, offers 11 thatch-and-glass-enclosed chalets, while Water Lodge, perched on the banks of Lake Kariega, has 12 stone-and-thatch waterfront chalets, leading off meandering timber footpaths. Both lodges feature fully appointed luxury bathrooms, rich wooden decks, plunge pools and outdoor showers. Dine inside or outdoors on our sublime fusion cuisine with an Eastern Cape flair, complemented by a collection of the best local wines.
