Beautiful rooms and a very private, exclusive lodge. It felt like something from Hemmingway, with fireplaces for cooler evenings, but white tablecloths and excellent food/wines. The game drives were excellent and our guide was very knowledgeable. We saw a family of cheetahs chase and kill a deer, which was a highlight of the trip. One day it rained and the elephants (15 or so) came out to play and bathe in the pond below the lodge. Fantastic!

It was simply amazing all round … walking around in the domain with plains and bush surrounded by kudu, giraffes, several kinds of bucks and hogs is envigorating …

This was my second visit to Pumba, and it was just as incredible as the first! The staff's warm hospitalitv and attention to detail made us feel so welcome. The lodges offer stunning views and a true connection to nature. The game drives were unforgettable, with expert guides and amazing wildlife encounters! The food was exceptional, with every meal perfectly prepared. Pumba is a paradise for anyone seeking a luxurious, immersive safari. I can't wait to return for a third visit!

“I visited a town in South Africa called Grahamstown, also known as Makhanda. It is a beautiful place. At first, it looks small, but it has very good schools and University there . It is also easy to get around, and the security there is very good. People can walk freely and enjoy the town.”

A truly remarkable African safari experience.

A truly remarkable African safari experience. The staff were just incredible, warm and welcoming. So many special touches and extra effort into making a birthday celebration the best and most memorable experience possible. Delicious food, great South African wine and the best of the bush. Great game viewing! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something extraordinary!

The historical aspects were fascinating, especially the old Churches and cathedrals. These are largely untouched from the general significant decline in basic services. We were only there for a sporting event. Not sure it is a place we would consider a holiday destination.

The staff, guides, game drives, units and meals were all superior. Just make sure your unit is secured when you go away, as we left a window open and the poor staff had their hands full cleaning up as the monkeys managed to get in and had a huge party with my grand-daughter's glitter paint!

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history.

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history. BUT the roads are a disaster !! Giant potholes everywhere and some of the roads you have to actually look for the tar that is left. The municipality should be ashamed. African road between 3 biggest private schools is abysmal
