Hand-Picked Hotel
Pumba Water Lodge
Pumba Water Lodge is situated alongside Lake Cariega providing ample opportunities to watch the resident pod of hippos wallowing within sight of wood timbered platforms. During your stay, you’ll also have the chance to spot the Big Five, as well as the rare white lion and over 60 species of mammal and 300 species of bird. Twice a day you’ll be invited on early morning and afternoon game drives before returning home to see what’s happening down at the waterhole. The view from your own private plunge pool is the perfect spot to continue where you left off. Spa treatments are also available if you fancy a refresh in between wildlife watching. Otherwise, you can opt for archery, walking safaris or bird watching expeditions or just relax with a good book on the sundeck by the pool. You’ll stay in one of just 12 stone built luxury cottages beautifully appointed with all creature comforts. Fireplaces, four-poster beds, and heated towel rails in en-suite bathrooms, keep up the cosy vibes, even in winter. Dine on cordon bleu cuisine and local flavours, accompanied by South African wines, either in the main lodge restaurant or a romantic candlelit dinner for 2. And, maybe end the day with a nightcap under a starry African sky. Pumba Water Lodge is open all-year-round and certainly worth staying at least two nights to make the most of the outstanding animal viewing and to soak up the very special safari atmosphere.
