Right in the heart of the Eastern Cape’s game viewing region you will find Pumba Private Game Reserve, situated a mere 105 km from Port Elizabeth. <\/p>\nOne of the main attractions of the Eastern Cape is the opportunity to visit a wildlife park and see the Big 5 in a malaria-free environment.<\/p>\n
Right in the heart of the Eastern Cape’s game viewing region you will find Pumba Private Game Reserve, situated a mere 105 km from Port Elizabeth. <\/p>\n
The reserve stretches over an area of 6,000 hectares. Home to the Big 5, the Reserve offers visitors the chance to experience the wonders of Africa – from the graceful giraffe to the seldom seen leopard. There are also 22 species of antelope and other small game.<\/p>\n
Pumba is also home to the near extinct white lion and for bird lovers the 200 + species will delight.<\/p>\n
Pumba Bush Lodge overlooking a small watering hole on a flood plain. There are just 11 thatched, glass enclosed chalets here, each in it’s own private bush setting – giving the ultimate feeling and experience of an African bush safari. Each chalet is air-conditioned, and has a spacious en-suite bathroom. Outside your chalet is your own private game viewing deck and plunge pool, plus an outdoor shower. <\/p>\n As an example … for 2 people staying at Pumba Water Lodge for 3 nights in May 2012, the total for all 3 nights would be just R13,320 \/ \u00a31,210 (based on current exchange rates) – and this rates includes all meals, local beers, ciders, soft drinks and house wines, and morning \/ afternoon guided game drives. <\/p>\n AND if that isn’t enough … for any bookings between the 27th November to the 20th December THIS YEAR if you confirm with a deposit before the 30th September, we will offer you a further 10% reduction from our rates for this period. This would make our rate just R3,816 \/ \u00a3340 per person per night – and the Stay 3 \/ Pay 2 would STILL apply !!!<\/p>\n And finally, children of ANY age are welcome – Water Lodge has family rooms – children rates on request. <\/p>\n We look forward to hearing from you and booking your stay in this incredibly special game reserve. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the main attractions of the Eastern Cape is the opportunity to visit a wildlife park and see the Big 5 in a malaria-free environment.

There are just 2 lodges on the entire reserve. The stunning Pumba Water Lodge<\/a> is, as its name suggests, situated overlooking Lake Kariega and offers magnificent views from its terraced deck. The 12 air-conditioned suites lead off meandering footpaths and are set along the lake’s edge. Each suite has a unique view of the lake and opens onto a private deck with outside shower and plunge pool. <\/p>\n![\"pumba-bush-lodge\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelbutlers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/pumba-bush-lodge.jpg\" "\\"pumba-bush-lodge\\"")
