The Pumba Private Game Reserve is situated on Lake Kariega in the heart of the Eastern Cape. This luxury reserve showcases the true beauty of South Africa within the comfort of opulent lodges and world-class amenities. As the home of some of the world’s most beautiful animal species (including the Big 5), Pumba promises visitors a really rewarding wildlife experience.
Pumba Private Game Reserve makes for the perfect destination for a romantic honeymoon, a family getaway, business trip or spa escape. It is close enough to towns like Grahamstown (a 20-minute drive, in fact) and Port Elizabeth (about 90 minutes away) to be conveniently situated, without any of the stresses and strains of city living.
The accommodation available at Pumba is of superior quality, with two intimate lodges and waterfront stone cottages. Under-floor heating, outdoor showers and freestanding baths are just part of the Pumba experience that leaves guests feeling deservedly pampered. 5-sar chefs create tantalising meals that make each dining experience special and memorable.
Pumba offers plenty of things to do within the comfort of the reserve. Visitors wanting to burn some energy will enjoy the walking safaris conducted by experienced guides, the hiking trails, and archery lessons.
Those preferring to experience the local fauna and flora of the Eastern Cape can go on a picnic overlooking Lake Kariega, embark on a botanical tour, stargaze (using Pumba’s modern astronomy technology), go on a birding safari, safari drives (including night safaris) or bass fishing on the magnificent banks of Lake Kariega.
Guided safaris are conducted by qualified, experienced guides that are trained to provide guests with fascinating insights and to direct them to the areas frequented by the wild residents of the reserve. Each safari package is unique, offering visitors a new aspect of the African abundance.
Of course, there is also plenty to see and do outside of the reserve.
