Absolutely amazing, great service, beautiful place and an amazing experience.

The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable with a coffee machine and good mini bar. We really enjoyed relaxing in the room and in the main lodge during the day. The main lodge had several lounge rooms, with fires, books and games, which we enjoyed. The view from the main lodge was beautiful and we saw lots of animals on the plain. The service was great and we felt very well looked after. The bush drives were absolutely incredible. Our ranger, Mzi, was great. He was very knowledgable and friendly and worked very had to find the animals that we wanted to see. It was an experience of a life time and the game reserve was very impressive.

The only complaint about the room, which we didnt raise during our stay was that shower pressure was poor and the air conditioning kept cutting out and beeping during the night. The food could not be considered as five star by any stretch of the imagination. The cooked breakfast was consistently great but the lunch and dinner was a bit hit and miss. Some meals were nice but others were a bit disappointing, especially considering the high standard of service for everything else during our stay. This did not ruin the stay at all and the food was nice, just completely incomparable to all of the other five star hotels that we have stayed whilst in South Africa.

One of the more magical places we have stayed in, 100% would recommend and will be returning!

Fantastic selection of food, staff were absolutely amazing, especially our ranger Charlene. The trip could not have been better, can't recommend Pumba enough - we WILL be back!

Nothing, everything was spot on.
