Day 1

Upon arrival at OR Tambo International Airport you will be met by an Island-Safari.com representative. Pick up your rental car from O.R. Tambo International Airport this morning for your five and half hours drive to the Manyeleti Game Reserve.

Pungwe Bushcamp is one of the longest established Private Game Lodges in South Africa. Pungwe is situated in the Manyeleti Game Reserve and forms one ecological unit with the Kruger National Park. At Pungwe they still do things in the old fashioned way without any electricity or any of the other mod cons. At Pungwe they will take you through a time warp of how the earliest visitors to Africa were accommodated. The accommodation units are constructed in a mixture of materials, the sides and entrance are fashioned from old style canvass to give the appearance of a tent, the en suite bathroom is constructed from brick and mortar and all of this is covered by a huge thatched roof. Each room has full en suite facilities including a huge bath, a shower, washbasin and waterborne toilet. The bedrooms are furnished with a Queen Sized Bed, complemented by a large wardrobe, two easy chairs and a convenience table, a variety of mats, oil lamps placed at strategic points around the bed and bathroom to give the whole room an atmosphere of rustic elegance which of course it is.

Some of the meals are still prepared on an open fire, with breakfast in particular being a very colourful affair.

The Lapa (meeting place) consists of a lounge area with comfortable easy chairs and sofas, a semi circular table which seats 10 persons for meals and a small refreshment counter and the whole area being illuminated by oil lamps at night.

The game viewing activities at Pungwe include tracking “Big Game “on foot as well as conducting game viewing drives in an open Landrover both during the day and at night, using a spotlight.

This is truly a walk on the wild side!
