Pumba Private Game Reserve & Spa
Overview & Capacity
Pumba's hook is the white lions - a genuinely rare draw that gives a leadership retreat a story nobody else can tell - wrapped around a malaria-free Big-5 reserve near Makhanda with a 60-delegate function room, a boma, and a Soul Spa and wellness centre that lean the offering toward restorative offsites. Two luxury lodges (24 units) keep it intimate. It caps at 60, so this is board-and-workshop territory, and B&W confirms the room setups and current service standard before booking. For a wellness-flavoured strategy session with a white-lion sighting as the centrepiece, it's distinctive.
