    Activities

    The 6 000 hectare reserve claims a list of game that includes the significant seven – giraffe, zebra, hippo, cheetah, warthog and hyena - the diminutive dozen (including the likes of the scrub hare, antbear, Cape fox and aardwolf) and a more than fair selection of antelope. Pumba Private Game Reserve is home to Africa’s Big 5, where visitors have a chance to experience many of Africa’s wonders… from giraffe to the elusive leopard, antelope, other small game and over 300 species of birds.

    The unique vegetation of the Eastern Cape is favoured by elephants in the dense bushveld environment.

    A further drawcard is free roaming white lions, there as a result of the reserve’s white lion breeding programme, whilst over 300 bird species allow for hours of restorative bird watching.
    For those who want to do more than to bask in the beauty of the surrounds and easily spot animals, there are also bass fishing, spa treatments, nocturnal bush drives and walks on the wild side – walking through the bush.
