Pumba Water Lodge
Day 1 - 4
Pumba Private Game Reserve’s own Water Lodge perfectly balances an idyllic African safari and true 5-star luxury. Guests of the Water Lodge will be privy to unrivalled views over Lake Kariega, complemented by inviting hospitality and a warm atmosphere. All nestled within the malaria-free province of the Eastern Cape, guests can look forward to spotting the Big 5 (leopards, lions, elephants, buffaloes and rhinoceroses) as well as the free-roaming pride of magnificent White Lions, wild dogs, hyenas and cheetahs.
Day 1
Day Notes:
Make your way to Pumba Water Lodge to arrive by 1:00 PM. You will be met at the jetty from where you will start your boat transfer up the Bushmans River by boat, followed by a short road transfer to the lodge. Settle-in, freshen up and have lunch before joining your first shared afternoon game drive.
If you can't make it to the jetty for 1pm, a road transfer all the way to the lodge can be organised, too.
We can assist with a rental car if you are planning a more extensive journey, possibly along the Garden Route. Alternatively, we can arrange transfers from and back to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

Day 2 - 3
Day Notes:
The morning activity starts at sunrise. You will be woken up before sunrise for tea and coffee before it starts. Then you are off for 2-3 hours to find as many animals as possible before they all find trees to hide under in the heat of the day.
When you return to the lodge, you will be served a cooked breakfast and have time to relax. You can sit by the pool, read a book, take a nap and just absorb being out in the bush.
The afternoon activity, will start around 16:00, after high tea. It will last for +2-3 hours, with a stop somewhere for sundowners. You will return to the lodge in the dark, with a spotlight to look for nocturnal animals.
Included activities from Pumba Water Lodge are:
- Morning and afternoon game drive
- Archery
- Bass fishing
- Stargazing
- Seven Fountains Tour
Specialized photo-safaris (with DSLR & telephoto lens use) and Soul Spa treatments are available at an additional cost.

South Africa – 6-day Eastern Cape Safari & Cape Town
Michele was wonderful to work with. She was patient with our large group while we changed dates and plans. She was able to guide us through the process and ultimately planned the BEST vacation for us. Every detail from transport, to celebrating my Mom's birthday at every turn, to accommodations, tours and more was clearly thought out! I would highly recommend Michele and Indigo Safaris! You will not be disappointed.
15-day Cape Town, Zimbabwe & Botswana Safari
I am a solo traveler, who was seeking a safe way to do some African safaris for the first time without a tour group. Indigo Safaris made suggestions and we created a trip based on my priorities. My accommodations in Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls and Botswana were unique, beautiful with good service and fabulous food! My guides were terrific. I literally felt like a princess, while at the lodges. When I needed assistance a couple of times, Indigo personnel were responsive to that.
I have travelled quite a lot, and this was one of the best trips I have taken. I believe that one of the strengths of Indigo Safaris is that the agents you work with are so experienced. They personally visit the destinations and accommodations before sending their clients there. So, for example, they knew, where I would see many elephants, which are my personal favorite wild animal, but fewer tourists.
I felt the cost of my trip was very fair and the trip cost included all of the land transfers and many of my meals. highly recommend Indigo Safaris for any sort of trip to Africa.
