The Pumba Game Reserve in the malaria-free Eastern Cape of South Africa is running a special offer during their next winter season (northern hemisphere summer!).

This offer includes 2 nights at the Pumba Private Game reserve near Port Elizabeth and 1 FREE night at either The Sands@ St Francis in the Eastern Cape or one of two hotels in Port Elizabeth: The Beach Hotel or Hacklewood Country House.

At Pumba, the rate include accommodation, all meals and selected drinks, and 2 game drives per day in 4×4 vehicles each day. The free night at the hotels is on a bed and breakfast basis.

We are delighted to confirm that we will be offering 3 nights for the price of 2 at safari lodges in the Kariega Reserve for people travelling between 1 May and 30 September.

The Kariega reserve is ideal for families who are enjoying a holiday in Cape Town or the Eastern Cape who are also looking to include a safari in their trip.

The reserve is malaria free, and the main lodge has a number of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom chalets where it is possible for larger families and groups requiring a single room to stay very cost effectively.

Also as the reserve has an area without more dangerous game in it (i.e. no lions or elephants) guests are also welcome to walk, cycle, or canoe through parts of the reserve which gives a great opportunity to see giraffes, zebra, antelope and other species without being stuck in a vehicle.

The reserve is also only one of two in the area which can offer river cruises, and is also only a short drive from the coast and beaches at Kenton-on-Sea.

Children of any age are welcome. Rates available on request. Children under 5 are not allowed on normal game drives. Babysitting services are available.
