My partner and I booked a suite, but experienced some car issues along the way, which delayed us severely. The owners were so accomodating, and even allowed us to extend our stay for a few hours at no extra charge, since…

This is a different kind of a getaway. It’s peaceful and serene. If you enjoy looking into the bush from the comfort of your luxurious room then this is it. We didn’t see any animals from the room but we did see some…

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Pakamisa Private Game Reserve
What time is check-in and check-out at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve?
Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Pakamisa Private Game Reserve allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Pakamisa Private Game Reserve have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Pakamisa Private Game Reserve have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Pakamisa Private Game Reserve have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Pakamisa Private Game Reserve?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
