Better than any expectation!
We made an individual five-day tour with Edwin through the Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. In the run-up we did not really know what to expect - be it the type and number of animals, the comfort of the accommodations or our guide Edwin.
As mentioned above, we are totally thrilled now back in Germany. Thanks to Edwin's expertise, we have seen pretty much everything about animals that you can see. Highlights were certainly the rides, in which one was alone in the endless expanse of the Serengeti and suddenly discovered a lion family at the waterhole. Or when we set off in the morning before dawn and discovered two lion brothers and shortly thereafter two cheetah brothers and no one else was around us.
Regarding the accommodations no wish remained unfulfilled. We did not think what comfort awaits you in absolute nowhere.
And also Edwin has delighted us with his sympathetic nature and responded to every wish, without losing the spirit of discovery in itself. Great!
We can fully recommend Pumba!!

Excellent Safari!
We were traveling with Pumba Safaris with two families for eight days. After we had agreed the journey with Sebastian - the expectations were high and were never disappointed.
The team on site was great. Of course, Edwin as a soul of man - but also Andrew and Jackson we liked a lot. It definitely made sense that we had with Jackson a German-speaking guide for the kids.
We started with two jeeps in Arusha. We arrived in the Serengeti via Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater. Here we stayed four nights in two different accommodations - once central Serengeti and once in the north.
Lodges we liked a lot - the Katambuga Lodge in Arusha is great to arrive and the "tented camps" in the Serengeti are also highlights. In the middle of the wilderness - a lot of comfort - and relaxing sundowners and dinner in the middle of nowhere - cool. Very nice was also the Ngorongoro Farmhouse near to Lake Manyara.
The kids also participated well - even if we have been traveling for some time in the jeeps. But with the guides on board you will not be bored and you get a lot of information (if you want) about Tanzania etc.
We saw everything except Rhinos - highlight areas here the crater, the wild cats in Serengeti and of course the migration at the Mara River. We could not have imagined such a number of animals. Feeling you were always "close" - very impressive.

Unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime-vacation
It's difficult to put our boundless enthusiasm into words - however, we'll try to do so. ;-)
The safari tour with PUMPA Tours was absolutely worth every penny! We got to see the Big Five as well as the Mass Migration - both absolutely stunning. It's possible to see the animals from a very close distance which makes it possible to take great photos.
We'd like to emphasize how awesome our guide Edwin was! He is absolutely passionate about his job and Tanzanian wildlife and capable of telling his guests countless interesting facts about the animals and their habits (thanks to his degree from a Wildlife College). He does so without any language difficulties as his English is very good (also regarding all the biological terms). He always wears a smile on his face and won't call it a day before he had made sure that his guests saw as many (rare) animals as possible. Detours and overtime aren't keeping him from doing so. PUMBAs lunch boxes are exceptionally good and stood out in comparison to the ones from the guests of other companies.
Other than that, we don't want to tell you too much - as we don't want to ruin the surprises which Edwin has in store for you. Edwin always knows how to surprise his guests and exhibits a dedicated sense of service. We'll always remember our fantastic honeymoon, so THANKS SO MUCH, Pumba Tours, THANKS Sebastian and Edwin! You rock!

Just the perfect Safari
We spent 5 days with Pumba Safaris and loved it. The co-owner Edwin himself was our guide in Ngorogoro and the northern Serengeti. We are regulars on safari - this experience with Edwin was the best ever. We attended Wildlife University: Edwin made us see all the signature animals (Rhino, Elephant, Cheetah, Leopard, Lion, Hyäne...), he shared his deep and holistic knowledge in ecology, conservation, habitats and even daily life of Tanzanian people. He went with us on a night drive to see honey badger, which are among the very rare animals to see, porcupines, and others. He made us see the great migration crossing the Mara river from a special vantage point, where we were alone with the animals! Simply stunning experience!
He is attentive to details which deepen your experience and make your safari more comfortable. In Mwanza we took over his Landcruiser to go on a selfdrive tour through Western and Southern Tanzania and it was hard to part ways. Edwin became a trusted friend and we miss his competent guidance, his friendly personality and - not to forget - his excellent driving which by far exceeds ours. We strongly recommend going on Safari with Pumba Safari and Edwin and Hope to come again.
Monika and Thomas
