Pumba Luxury Camps

Pumba Luxury Camps

10/10 Excellent
"Mussa and his team are fabulous. I went with my two sons in July 2026. The location of Pumba Luxury Camp is amazing. You feel the thrill of sleeping in the middle of the bush, surrounded by tall grass and wondering what animals could be hiding there. But the staff is constantly patrolling the area. No need to worry. They always escort you from your tent the lobby and dining area, and back again. Very attentive people. And kind. They taught Swahili words to my sons :) great human capital in Pumba camp. The tents are super comfortable. You can decide whether to bring down the tent sides or keep them up. I kept them up to look at the bush when sleeping. It felt magical. I heard the sound of hyenas in the middle of the night, distant though. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. I liked it a lot."

10/10 Excellent
"Danny is the perfect host. He took care of everything and did so much to make our stay special. With Bush side breakfast and dinner with a campfire along with a perfect sundowner, he and the staff ensured our stay was extra special. And of course, Denis our safari game driver made sure we saw everything that one hopes to see in the Serengeti… leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, impalas… even a serval cat, along with a huge pride of lions full of cubs. Incredibly special place and more than worth it."
