Excursion Pumba private game reserve tour at Port Elizabeth

Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of South Africa’s Eastern Cape with a half-day excursion at the renowned Pumba Private Game Reserve — a stunning, malaria-free haven located just a short, picturesque drive from the port.

Your adventure starts with a leisurely transfer through undulating landscapes, leading you to Pumba, where you will be welcomed with refreshing beverages and a friendly greeting from the reserve staff. After a brief introduction, climb aboard an open 4x4 safari vehicle and embark on an exhilarating 2.5-hour drive into the heart of the wilderness. Accompanied by knowledgeable rangers, keep an eye out for Africa’s legendary Big Five — including Pumba’s famous and seldom-seen white lions — as well as a remarkable variety of bird species and plains game roaming freely throughout the reserve.

After your wildlife experience, savor a delicious buffet lunch served in the tranquil natural setting of the lodge, where every moment is enriched by the sights, sounds, and serenity of the wild. A brief return drive through the reserve takes you back to the arrival center, where your coach is ready. As you head back to the ship, you will leave with a camera full of memories and a heart touched by the enchantment of the African bush.
