Had a glorious time here very recently, one word - MAGICAL, the accommodation we stayed in was an Impala Chalet with its own plunge pool on your own private deck looking at the lake where Hippopotamus live , exceptionally lucky to see them. One day woken by the sound of one of the lions 🦁 roaring - just WOW. The game drives included in the all inclusive package were a massive treat , we saw the pride of Lions together with 3 cubs , herd of Elephants at the watering hole , Wildebeest, Giraffes, Rhinos, Impala, Zebras, Buffalo, Jackals all because our guide & all the guides are superb at the job and make it great fun. Great Food , Wine & the main lodge has awesome views and comfortable lounge area , restaurant , bar , other activities on offer to fishing, archery. Beautiful place , good staff , can’t praise it enough.. exceeded all expectations-...

We have just completed a 3 night stay at Pumba Reserve and we absolutely loved it.

The park, the rooms, food and staff were all exceptional.

The rooms were spotless everytime we returned from either dinner or a drive, and the views were incredible.

The staff at dinner were fabulous, always making sure you were ok, and the food was fantastic, lots of variety.

The staff at reception always on hand for any requests, and made my partners birthday super special.

We treated ourself to a treatment which was also very nice.

A special mention must go to our driver Lena. She was knowledgable, accommodating with a good heart, she made all our drives varied, and we managed to spend ample time with all the animals we came across, she is a great asset to Pumba!

We wouldnt hesistate in recommending people come to Pumba for an...

An unbelievable experience, from start to finish. All team members are there to help you enjoy your stay, rooms are amazing with each chalet at the Water Lodge having a private balcony overlooking the lake. There are two game drives each day and the Rangers are amazing, we had Nati who was so knowledgeable and patient. He knew where to find the animals and we had many encounters up close. Between drives, there's the food which is amazing complemented by first class hospitality. When you return to your chalet after your 3 course dinner, the fire has been lit and hot water bottles await you in your bed. Spectacular from start to finish, would definitely...

Our stay was amazing, wonderful setting, beautiful rooms and the best experience. I would like to share some fantastic feedback specifically to Mzi (safari ranger at Pumba Lodge) to himself and his manager. He is a true testament to Pumba and the work that is being done there - the most incredible guide - we have no doubt that our experience would not have been so excellent without him. Pumba will always hold a special place in our heart but it is thanks to Mzi that we had the experience of a lifetime on safari.

Wo soll ich anfangen? Am ende meiner Südafrikareise durch die Gardenroute standen 3 Tage in der Waterlodge an. Ich hatte hohe Erwartungen an diese Unterkunft und die Safaris , und es hat alles um weiten übertroffen! Die bilder im Internet können nicht darstellen wie wunderschön dieser Ort ist. Morgens wird man von den Geräusche der Hippos geweckt, danach frühstückt man und regelmäßig kommen affen vorbei um dir etwas zu knabbern vom Tisch zu klauen, gefolgt von den Safaris die das absolute Highlight meiner ganzen Reise in Südafrika waren. Ein grund dafür war unser Ranger Thomas, er hat diese Safaris über 3 Tage sehr besonders gemacht. Ein sehr herzlicher Mensch mit unglaublich viel Wissen über Tiere, Pflanzen und alles was zur Safari gehört, ein wandelndes Lexikon mit viel Humor. Bei jeder Safari gibt es einen Stopp in einer atemberaubenden Natur, wundervollen Gesprächen mit anderen Besuchern aus aller Welt und Thomas. Die Unterkünfte sind sehr gepflegt und passen perfekt in diese Natur. Ein privater Pool mit Blick auf einen See mit Hippos , outdoorduschen, oder wie bei unserer Unterkunft sogar einer Dampfsauna machten den Aufenhalt in der Lodge unvergesslich. Die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr herzlich und man fühlt sich sehr gut aufgenommen in der Waterlodge. Also wenn jemand diese Rezension liest mit Interesse an Natur,Tieren und einer erholsamen zeit fernab von Stress und Zivilisation dann zöger nicht und runde deine Südafrikareise mit diesem Erlebnis als Highlight ab. Ich werde diese Tage nie vergessen, Dankeschön!
