The malaria-free Pumba Private Game Reserve & Spa nestles in the heart of the Eastern Cape in South Africa only 105 km from Port Elizabeth and just 24 km from Grahamstown. The reserve covers 16 thousand acres of the unspoilt African wilderness. Facing the Kariega lake, this big-five reserve offers magnificent views. This Game Reserve provides the perfect balance between an ideal African safari and true 5-star luxury.
Discover the serenity of the African bushveld at the magical Msenge Bush lodge. Guests feel one with nature in the private glass-walled chalets, as you watch the South African sunset over the outlying mountains as the elephants visit their popular watering hole. Ultimate relaxation can be enjoyed as one gazes out from the wooden deck, cool down in the secluded plunge pool or take a delightful evening shower surrounded by the bushveld under the stars. The evening dinner is a fabulous African braai in a bush-boma under the bright stars provides an excellent close to an exciting day.

I had a supurb time at Pumba, I enjoyed the Boma Dinners, loved working out in the gym and really enjoyed the game drives & wildlife in the reserve.
At Pumba I enjoyed a room with a private setting with a unique view of the magnificent Lake Kariega.
I enjoyed a cocktail at the Cocktail Bush bar and enjoyed relaxing in the Library.
