PAKAMISA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE ACCOMMODATION IN PONGOLA, KWAZULU-NATAL
Pakamisa – the name in the language of the Zulu means “to lift up” and we assure our guests that their spirits will soar in this African Shangri-La. Imagine being able to experience the sights, smells, sounds and excitement of the African veld so that you literally become one with the environment.
Pakamisa is also home to a collection of magnificent Arabian Horses all superbly trained by the owner. There are few greater thrills than exploring the wild African Bush on horseback. Pakamisa is predator & malaria free, creating a safe environment for a range of activities for adults and children not usually available in BIG 5 Reserves.
We offer discerning visitors luxury, comfort and great hospitality with excellent gourmet cuisine amidst the pristine African wilderness. Pakamisa is a perfect base for those wishing to explore Northern Zululand and is conveniently situated on the main route from Kruger Park to Durban.
We also speak English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Zulu and some French
