Wonderful Serengeti Safari
We just had a wonderful 6-day safari in Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti with Edwin Mramba and the Pumba team. We'd heard about Pumba from a friend who worked on Africa for an international organization, has taken numerous trips to Tanzania and gone on several safaris, and highly recommended Edwin and his colleague, Moses Justin. Edwin knows the wildlife and has a sub-specialty in birds, which helped since one of us is a dedicated birder. They arranged wonderful accommodations at the Serena Lodge n Ngorongoro and at the Tanzania Bush Camp in the Serengeti. We saw the big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, giraffe, and black rhino) and 140 birds, as well as the wildebeest migration in the Western Serengeti. Tanzania is a wonderful country and the experience was eye-opening.
Amazing experience!
We spent an amazing week (November 2016) in Tansania together with Edwin. Edwin loves his job, answers all questions to full satisfaction and always aims at giving the best possible experience to his guests! We booked a private tour, thus the entire car just for us and - more important - passing the safari in our pace leaving more than sufficient time for us to enjoy the animals (and we saw really amazing stuff, even though we didn't go in the "main season"!).
The lodges very absolutely stunning - we were especially amazed by the lodge in the middle of the Serengeti being in a (luxury) tent as close to the animals as possible.
The entire trip - from the organization upfront our trip to getting dropped off at the airport again - went very smooth and we would really recommend spending your safari with Pumba Safaris. Thanks for an amazing week!

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.
