Good value for money

Pros: Nice and comfy tents in a good location in Manyelety

Cons: We had to adjust to the fact that there is no electricity in the camp, could do with a bit more light sources in the rooms.

Our stay at Pungwei

Pros: We had a wonderful stay! The Pungwei staff were very welcoming, and the accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The best part was being in the shower and seeing 4 elephants walking past the window. We’d highly recommend it and would definitely stay again.

The game drives were wonderful! We had great sightings (e.g. 3 lion cubs playing next to the car).

Pros: Our guide, Never, was fantastic! The buildings need a bit of TLC.

Cons: The upkeep of the buildings could be better.

Pros: A truly amazing experience. All staff and facilities were great. We had three days of close contact with all the big 5, including elephants and a leopard in our camp. Thanks to Micheal and the crew for making us part of your family. Thank you Mother Manyeleti for the embrace.

Unforgettable days in the bush of the beautiful Manyeleti

Pros: Pungwe is in a wonderful wild area of the beautiful Manyeleti, surrounded by nothing else but the bush, with all its sounds, smells and encounters of its local residents. There is no wifi and the lamps and loading stations for your camera equipment are powered by batteries loaded by the sun. The rooms/tents are roomy, with comfy beds and the adjacent bathrooms have everything you need. The food was always very delicious and included local specialities. The game drives were amazing and our guide Isaac would always also stop for little creatures and birds. Last but not least, having someone like Michel around with all his many stories to tell, made it extra special and unforgettable. We will for sure go back!

Cons: There was simply nothing we didn’t like!

Pros: Dit was voor ons een ervaring die we nooit zullen vergeten. De prachtige locatie in het park; de aangename sfeer en aankleding van de tenten en het kamp. Maar vooral de geweldige game drives waar we mooie dingen hebben gezien. En als we in het kamp waren; werden we verwend door het hele team. Aanrader!

Sehr private und einsame Unterkunft mit Wildlife Garantie

Pros: Das Camp ist sehr klein und privat, die Safaris einzigartig mit atemberaubenden Tier-Begegnungen. Da es keinen Zaun zum Park hin gibt, kommen Elefanten, Büffel, u.a.m. direkt sm Zelt vorbei.

Cons: Wir waren die einzigen Gäste über Weihnachten, das war so nicht geplant. Man hätte uns vorher informieren sollen, dass weitere Zelte nicht benutzbar waren. Heiligabend war leider nicht besonders positiv, da unsere einzige Gesellschaft am Tisch, der Safari-Guide, bereits am frühen Abend mehrfach gedrängt hat, dass wir schlafen gehen sollen.... in das Zelt ohne Strom und ausreichend Licht.
