Pumba Luxury Camps Serengeti

The tents were large and able to accomodate all 5 of us. We booked two tents but due to an unexpected controlled burn in the area, my kids were not comfortable staying in a separate tent. Personalized service as we were the only guests during our two nights. Mosa, the manager, was super kind and apologetic about the Serengeti fire. They did their best to cater to our needs. Food was plenty - too much! Night bonfire was nice. Hot water in the showers. The tent felt safe.

I felt bad because the fire seemed out of their control. When we pulled up the fire had just swept through the camp - we saw they lost at least one tent. Our tents had a layer of soot in them from the fire. Everything smelled like smoke. This made our group feel super vulnerable - not only knowing there were wild animals but worrrying about the flames we could still see in the distance. Mosa was super accomodating and allowed us to all stay in one tent despite renting two. So the things we did not care for were out of Pumba's control and should fall at the hands of the Serengeti park itself. Pumba did their best to work through it and make us feel as safe as they could.

From our arrival at reception to being shown to our luxury accommodation this accommodation exceeded our expectations. The food was freshly prepared each morning and evening and gave the wow factor looking over the Serengeti Savannah planes. The best thing was herds of wilderbeast and zebra heading north on migration a relatively short distance from our tents. The safari guide we booked through the accommodation was absolutely amazing so special mention to Justin who also assisted with a flight issue we had. I definitely recommend this accommodation.

WiFi had a slight issue and would not have even bothered us on this holiday had we not had an issue with our return flight. This did not spoil our trip as our safari guide assisted us using his communications.

Its in the middle of Serengeti, amazing views. Staff were polite and attentive. Tents are new and comfortable. Breakfast and lunch were very good.

The word luxury mislead me, there is nothing luxurious about this place. But the price is. The dinner was disappointing, we were served lasagna and chicken with french fries and ketchup , don’t forget the breakfast and lunch the next day were perfect Also we have booked all inclusive and the people there were not aware of that fact and it was unpleasant when we left the place, looked like were were stealing three beers.

Die Zimmer/Zelte sind sehr groß und ansprechend eingerichtet, edles Holz, bequeme Betten. Das Bad auch groß, mit Badewanne und Dusche, warmes Wasser stets vorhanden. Alles wirkt noch sehr neu, Lodge besteht seit 2025. Der Service war hervorragend, das Essen sehr gut (wenn man tansanisch-indische Küche mag :)) Die Lage mitten im Park natürlich einzigartig!

Die Rezeption und Speisesaal könnte ansprechender und einfallsreicher gestaltet sein. Die Entfernung vom Zentrum ist writ, ca. 1,5 Std. entfernt und die Zufahrt in der Regenzeit herausfiordernd.
