Nature and Wildlife
Pumba Private Game Reserve is the third largest privately owned game reserve in the South African province of the Eastern Cape. It covers an area of 6790 hectares and includes five of South Africa’s seven biomes. This means that there is an undeniable wealth of plant- and animal species to enjoy.
The vegetation consists of a mixture of the unique Eastern Cape Valley Bushveld, a dense type of plant cover that is especially popular amongst elephants and antelope. Extensive open plains give guests the coveted opportunity of watching antelope and the endangered White Rhinoceros graze in peace and serenity.
In addition to the famous Big 5 (leopards, lions, rhinos, buffaloes and elephants), Pumba is home to approximately 40 other species of mammals and hundreds of bird species. These animals range from commonly seen species (such as the graceful giraffe) to more elusive animals, like the White Lion and the leopard.
