If you are looking for a real 5* Game Experience then Pumba is definitely the place to go. My partner and I cannot fault the location, the staff and the magical and very private accommodation. Pumba have thought of everything to make your stay a truly memorable one. We stayed at Water Lodge for just two nights in November and... more

I can't write enough superlatives for this reserve. Absolutely fantastic. The little touches were wonderful - on cold evenings the ranger called ahead so the fires were lit in our cottages and hot water bottles put in the bed to welcome us when we returned from the drive. I would recommend the water lodge rather than the bush lodge. I... more

Luxury in all its splendour. I could not fault this game reserve, everything about it was top class. It has the big 5 which can be seen on the game drives. These take place twice a day and usually with the same ranger. This ensures that you are looking out for different animals on each trip rather than revisiting areas... more

Our room was amazing also with a massive bathroom, freestanding bath and a huge indoor and outdoor shower and jacuzzi on the balcony ! stunning ! Our bed was also very... more

We spent 3 nights at Pumba Water Lodge towards the end of September. We were picked up from Port Elizabeth by a Pumba employee. The hour's drive went quickly as he gave us lots of information about the area on route. He even took us to see the new football stadium at PE. On arrival at the reserve there is... more

It has luxury, excitment, pamering, relaxation, all in one place. The rooms are gorgeous with real log fires. LOVED IT- ITS A MUST. Staff are... more

As seasoned travellers we have have used Tripadvisor many times to 'check-out' venues for our trips but this is the first time I have felt that I needed to post my own review, not that I can add much to the other positive comments about Pumba except to say that they are all true! Apart from the wildlife, beautiful location,... more
