Pumba Lodge was amazing. Great accommodation and the staff were truly first class. Pumba - amazing spot, we definitely preferred the Msenge Lodge as opposed to the water lodge - it had a great homey feel! The nannies were excellent with Quinn. Our gu ide, Justin could not have been more amazing - every animal we wanted to see just seemed to get effortlessly ticked off the list! We had two days of private game drives and on our third day were joined by a lovely couple- the lady was celebrating her 40th so we did a late night drive that night and we were all treated to bubbles, what a nice touch! I can't stress enough just how wonderful Justin was, he accommodated our sheathe with Quinn and even took us on a special "baby game drive" where he introduced Quinn to a huge tortoise!
