It's All About The Experience
Pungwe is a small intimate authentic safari camp which brings back the essence of a true safari experience. Our comfortable en-suite meru-style tents are reminiscent of days when safaris were all about the sights, sounds and smells of the bush. Our camp is about the bush, the animals, the unique experiences and the subsequent regaling of these by the iconic fireside.
It's All About The Feelings
Our guided morning safaris and bush walks put you in touch with the bush, immerse you in your surroundings and enable you to encounter wildlife at a unique level. Our afternoon/evening game drives ensure that your sightings are up-close and personal.
The perfect combination to create lasting memories.
It's All About Being In The Bush
The four en-suite meru-styled tents at Pungwe offer simple elegant comfort, security, hot and cold running water for baths or showers and an exceptional feeling of truly being in the African bush. Under canvas you will not only hear, but feel the roar of the lion, the throaty cough of a leopard and the fiery necked hightjar celebrating the night.
It's All About Location, Location, Location
Situated in the southern part of the 22 000ha Big five Manyeleti Reserve, Pungwe shares unfenced boundaries with two world renowned reserves, the Sabi Sand Reserve to the south and the Kruger National Park to the east, allowing for free movement of wildlife between the three reserves. This ensures that Pungwe's guests will be privy to some spectacular game viewing without having to share the sightings with numerous other visitors.
Guided Walking Safaris
Set out on foot just as the sunlight touches the horizon, feel the dew drops as you walk on animal tracks in search of a feeling that only a walking safari can give you, that inexplicable feeling felt by so many before that still captivates us, connects us and allows us to feel at one with nature. You will not only see the bush, but get to touch, taste and smell it as well, a true safari of the senses.
Our qualified, armed guides will share their intimate knowledge of the bush and each animal encounter will remain etched in your memory long after your travels have ended.
Afternoon/Evening Open Vehicle Safaris
In the afternoon and into the evening, using spotlights, our experienced guides will share all the sights and sounds of the Manyeleti Reserve with you. From the echoing call of the Monotonous Lark, to the infectious greeting of a pack of Wild Dogs reuniting after a hunt, you will see and hear things that only a safari in the African bush can deliver. If you want to capture your experiences, and the look that that leopard gave you, in pictures, the evening safaris are a delight.
Our guides will take you off-road for close-up sightings of lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and stately elephants.
