Pamusha Lodge

Our experience at Pamusha was nothing short of Wonderful

Pamusha Lodge's biggest positive is the staff. They were all extremely welcoming and hospitable, giving us a tour of the outdoor common area and our room. There was no bottled water in the room, but there was tea and coffee always available in the outdoor restaurant. Breakfast was included. The bedroom was clean and the linens immaculate, though I preferred not to walk barefoot on the bathroom floor. The outdoor area is slightly shabby, but there is plenty of shaded seating, and a firepit. The negatives are that you can hear every sound from the adjacent rooms. My mosquito net was hung off to the side of the bed rather than directly over it, and was being held together by half a dozen bandaids. It didn't fit properly over the bed, and I had to sleep scrunched down and with my head between the two pillows to keep the net off my face and prevent mosquitoes from biting me through it. The biggest issue was the lack of water. Neither the bath or shower worked, and the sink only worked maybe 20% of the time. The shower sprayed for about 6 seconds, then became a small, cool trickle. I managed to lather up and splash the soap off (washing my hair was a lost cause) for a few minutes until the water stopped entirely. I then tried the sink, where the water only ran for ten seconds, then the tub - same thing. Had to wash my face with bottled water the next morning. Our tour operator said VF businesses have water reserves, so this isn't something that he hears about happening at all.

.. the planning of the excursions and the dedication of the service were incredible

Very friendly helpful staff. Shower hard to control. Lights in room were dim.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood, friendly staff, great food

Manager was a bit shady attempted to book us a room for the next day at double their regular daily rates

Great location and very friendly, helpful staff who were available 24/7. Relaxing place to stay.

This is not a resort but the attention of the staff and the relaxed atmosphere make for a relaxing stay. Food is freshly cooked by Ivy and she will cater for your needs. Arnold is the “Jack of all trades” and makes you feel very welcome. Pamusha can organise tours for you and does breakfast, lunch or dinner cruises. The dinner cruise is good value and we say lots of hippos and elephants.

The staff was friendly and the rooms were decent.
