Pumba Private Game Reserve

環境乾淨，服務員態度誠懇，建議大家如果想去看野生動物，可以選擇這間lodge。

Our first safari and wow what a first! From the moment we were greeted at the gates to the time we had to leave we had the most fantastic time. We stayed in a gemsbok chalet overlooking the watering hole with our own plunge pool. It had everything you could ask for, huge bed, huge bath, lovely sitting area and it was all spotlessly clean. Cleaned each morning whilst we were out on the morning drive and then turned down each night on the evening drive, so nobody disturbing you when you do get to spend some time in your room or out on the decking. All of our meals were excellent and served exceptionally by staff, who were all so happy and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Our Ranger Clio was fantastic, we spent 7 drives in his company and he was a real character. He’s very knowledgeable and managed to find all of the animals we wanted to see. The only animal that managed to elude us was the leopard. We only stayed here for 3 nights and whilst we didn’t want to leave, it was enough time to experience everything that you need to. Would very highly recommend Pumba, it was the highlight of our 2.5 week trip.

We planned our entire trip to SA based on availability of this lodge. We expected a luxury experience and wonderful views. Be aware that if you book the bush lodge 3 of the rooms have no views at all (just bush - not even bird life!). Sadly, despite our advance requests, we found ourselves allocated one of these rooms. There were unable/unwilling to move us and it’s clear that priority is given to tour groups at the expense of independent travellers. In my opinion these rooms should be sold at a discount. Once you are here it seems that no ‘management’ are available to resolve issues.
