Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Pumba is five star all the way! We were truly delighted with our four night stay there . Our room (Impala Chalet #1), is exquisite with high end yet comfortable furnishings and a fantastic view over the lake. It was a thrill to sit on our private balcony, watching the animals coming to drink from the lake. And we were happy to dip in our little plunge pool ! The staff were exceptional - Chantal and Vuyo in reception; our wonderful waiters in the dining room; and Mabhuti, our guide were all second to none. We thoroughly enjoyed two game drives per day in Mabhuti's care. We learned so much about the animals and the reserve from him and really appreciated his humour and knowledge. We feel very fortunate that he was our guide! The food was tasty and the menu changed every day. Everything is included so we could get iced coffees, snacks and other treats in between the set meal times. There is a generous hospitality bar in each room - loaded with wine, beer , soft drinks, water, snacks, coffee (a REAL coffee maker - not instant coffee!) and a jar of homemade cookies which was restocked daily, There was nothing lacking. We met Roland, the manager, who was friendly and helpful and he clearly cares deeply about his guests. Overall, we can't say enough about our time at Pumba other than we wish we could have stayed longer!! Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a stay at this wonderful , magical place! Thank you to everyone at Pumba!!
Negative: Nothing, everything was wonderful!!
Summary: Five star all the way!! Beautiful lodge with exceptional staff!
