Pumba Safari Cottages

It's hard to believe this place is considered a budget lodge. The park view is breathtaking and unforgettable. Also, many animals come to visit often. The facilities are nice and clean, the food is great and the staff is friendly, helpful and speak great english. Prices are also fair. We've never stayed in a place like this and highly recommend Pumba to everyone.

I stayed at this beautiful place, and I highly recommend it. The food is simply delicious, Martha and Denis's service was incredible—always smiling, very professional, and respectful. And the views from my cabin are amazing!

The cottages are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts and staff are exceptional — warm, welcoming, and always going the extra mile to make sure you feel at home. The food was another highlight: fresh, tasty, and plentiful, with a touch of local flavor. What we loved most was the peaceful atmosphere — it’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and recharge after a safari day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, cozy, and friendly stay near Manyara. We would definitely return!
