Cilla & Loët are very good & friendly hosts. They made us feel at home and relaxed. We saw 3 of the big... More

Cilla and Louis Schulz personally welcome and guide their guests at the Pungwe Bush Camp. There are only 4 guest rooms/tents. The ambience of no electricity, no e-mail, and no Internet works to get guests oriented to the bush country. The accommodations are actually plush (or plusher than expected), especially the bedroom and bathroom. Oil lamps give an old era... More

Wonderful bush experience, especially the Bush walks. Can highly recommend a 3 day stay here. Not for the faint hearted. You are in the bush with everything else!

When I first heard we were staying in a tented, unfenced campsite I must admit my heart sank a little. But after a 2 night stay at Pungwe I was sad to leave. We had 3 fantastic game drives where we saw elephants, rhinos, leopard and a group of 6 male lions. We also went on a morning bush walk... More

My husband and I stayed at Pungwe Bush camp for 3 nights in late August 2010. We were suppose to go to SA during the World Cup, but due to a death in the family, we had to reschedule our trip. So let me start off by saying that the owners were VERY accomodating about switching out dates from June... More

Before I begin, let me state that I booked pungwe indirectly through a travel agent. When I travel to South Africa next time, I will book directly through pungwe and would advise all others to do the same for the reasons stated below. Pungwe is one of about 5 camps located within the larger Manyeleti game reserve. Manyaleti is one... More
