Went back a year later with family - still a very very special place - This is Africa and you need to understand the context of where you are staying, but this is still an extraordinary place to stay - from the views to the wildlife and the attitude of the staff I defy you to be dissapointed!

We were so looking forward to going to this luxury resort after 2 weeks on safari and considering the very expensive price, we expected something amazing. The main objective was to relax here, however this became a bit of struggle with constant banging noises as the villa below us was having maintenence work done. We were told that this was... More

My family held a wedding there recently. It was the first wedding they have had at Pumulani and it was just PERFECT. The rice throwing by the staff with their incredible singing and dancing was such a defining moment for me. The accomodation, the location, the staff, everything was just so 110%. Go there - You will not be disappointed... More

My wife and I stayed at Pumulani for two nights for a friend's wedding (Pumulani's first). We stayed in room 10 which is the highest up the slope and absolutely huge - when we arrived we thought we had been accidently given the honeymoon suite! The place is fantastic, the rooms are beautifully designed and appointed, the pool view spectacular... More

Stayed here for 3 nights after a safari in Zambia. The rooms were incredible, clean, spacious, very private and with great views over the lake. Whilst there are a number of activities available, diving, cycling, kayaking and walking, there was no pressure to participate, if you want a quiet relax after a hectic safari its perfect. I would recommend the... More

It is my third visit in this lodge. The first two stays were perfect and the food delicious. The chef has changed since April 2011 and the food is not what we could expect from a lodge who charges 500 US$ per night. The first two years, all meals were original with a specific touch of the chef (spices, presentation,... More

This splendid lodge tumbles down a wooded hill to a sandy beach on the southern lakeshore, just inside Lake Malawi National Park. We were warmly welcomed in the main building, with its spectacular views, then taken to our frankly stunning villa room, with not one but two balconies. Sunset dhow cruises on the lake set out every day, there are... More

We stayed at Pumulani for three nights last May and have been meaning to write a review ever since. We've been fortunate enough to stay at some great places in the past, but have seldom come across something that is quite as amazing as Pumulani. As mentioned by previous reviewers, the location is out-of-this-world, the villas are exquisite, the staff... More

Incredible! - wonderfully relaxing, STUNNING location, rooms to die for, fantastic service, perfect choice of watersports. Didn't stay at the end of a safari (visiting family instead) so found variety of wildlife extraordinary (baboons on balcony, hippos off the dhow...) Bettina and Luke (hosts) made it feel like a weekend with friends. This is a very very special place, and... More
