Pumusa Bushcamp is built amongst tall evergreen trees in a unique lush-vegetated sand forest. Situated on a small private reserve along the extraordinary and untamed Elephant Coast, 10 km from Hluhluwe town and bordering the False Bay section of UNESCO World Heritage site iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
The camp offers various types of accommodation immersed in a tropical garden under large trees and flowering gardens that attract a great variety of birds and smaller antelope. There is a large lagoon style pool framed by palm shrubs adjacent to our popular Bar that boasts a large television showing your favourite sports matches live. There is an outside dining area where breakfast and dinners are served daily.
Our Bar leads onto an open Boma which has a large communal fire-pit – ideal to unwind and relax after an eventful day where cold beers can be enjoyed with unspoilt views of our African night skies. Pumusa is a quiet and restful Camp - far away from big city lights. With a backdrop of a crackling fire, hyenas whooping in the distance and our resident bushbabies’ cry, clear views of our Milky Way and the Southern Hemisphere constellations, an unforgettable warm and tranquil atmosphere reigns.
All the units at Pumusa Bush Camp are en suite and are decorated in a rustic Mozambican style, with wooden interior and newly installed mosquito nets and ceiling fans.
Pumusa offers a competitive dinner, bed and breakfast rate. Dinners are scrumptious and are served from 19h00 whilst continental style breakfasts are served from 06h30 daily. If you want to get an early start into one of our various nearby parks in the area, a packed breakfast can be provided.
We also have two self-catering units for those who come heavily packed and prefer to cook for themselves.
Pumusa Bushcamp has a fantastic location within close proximity to many wonders that the Kwa-Zulu Natal Elephant coastline can offer. Only a 20 min drive to the Big 5 Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve and a 5km walk or cycle to the False Bay section of South Africa’s very first proclaimed World Heritage Site, iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Getaways to this coastline are rich in adventure. If you’re not viewing the Big Five, birding, paddling, hiking, snorkelling, on a horse trail or mountain biking then you may be out on a boat watching humpback whales and dolphins or deep-sea fishing or diving. Perhaps you may be on the beach having a picnic or watching the turtles laying their eggs.
Pumusa Camp itself abounds with great resident birdlife, as well as various antelope such as Nyala, Impala, Reedbuck, Red Duiker, Grey Duiker and if you are lucky you can find the very small, shy and rare Suni.
We also have several mongoose species such as Banded, Slender and White-tailed. Nocturnal species include Thick-tailed bushbabies, Porcupine, Large spotted Genet, and Bushpigs. Warthogs have also been seen near the camp and come as they go when they burrow under the fences.
The summer months bring an increased number of reptiles such as tortoises, lizards and snakes as well as your arachnids such as scorpions and spiders.
We also have recorded numerous sightings and tracks of passing Leopards on our property. They usually move around late at night and in the early hours of the morning. So please always be vigilant and aware that these big cats are in the area. Under no circumstances may guests go wandering alone on the reserve late at night.
Pumusa Bush camp is a fully environmental-friendly establishment. We do not allow any hunting on our property and strive to create long term preservation of our wildlife and ecosystems within our extraordinary and untamed Elephant coast region.
