            Exceptional 2 night stay at Pumba”

            We stayed at Pumba for two nights at the beginning of October... I only wish it could have been longer!!!!! After researching game reserves for many weeks I am so glad that I choose Pumba!! The water lodge we stayed in was amazing, the view of the lake unbelievable and the animal encounters on the game drives where unforgettable! The experience is just such a dream, it hardly seems real!! All the staff are friendly and kind, especially the ladies who clean the rooms, they really go above and beyond! The food was amazing and my partner is fussy and he never found it difficult to choose a meal that he would like. Food and drink was of a very high standard. You get what you pay for after all and I am so glad we choose Pumba for our eastern cape safari! And experience that we will never forget! Thank you

            Sehr schöne Lodge mit Blick auf Tiere am Wasserloc”

            Zimmer fantastisch, Blick auf Wasserloch und Tiere super

            Die Zimmer waren hervorragend. Leider funktionierten einige Kleinigkeiten nicht (Nachttischlampe, Heizstrahler im Bad, saure Milch in Minibar). Diese wurden trotz Versprechen nicht behoben. Nach dem Auschecken mussten wir unsere Koffer selbst zum Auto tragen. Das Essen: Wir hätten uns anstatt des Menüs lieber Essen in Buffet-Form gewünscht. Fazit: Alles in allem war es ein toller Aufenthalt.
