Pumzika Luxury Camp
Glamping, the Way Nature Intended
Where the Wild Whispers, and You Listen
Cradled beneath the ancient arms of baobabs and perched along the life-giving curve of the Tarangire River, Pumzika Luxury Camp is a retreat where nature is not just admired—it’s lived. Here, the lines between wild and wonder blur, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeper, and feel more.
This is where adventure meets stillness. Where the soul of safari speaks softly, and every detail—crafted in harmony with the land—whispers luxury, lightly carried.
Canvas, Not Concrete. Connection, Not Crowds.
At Pumzika, we’ve redefined luxury in the language of nature. Our tented suites are designed to immerse you in the rhythm of the wild—gently, thoughtfully, and with care.
Elevated canvas tents, spacious and serene, nestled into the landscape
King-size beds with fine linens and locally inspired, handwoven décor
En-suite bathrooms with eco-flush toilets and open-air, solar-heated showers
Private decks for quiet wildlife watching and stargazing
Sustainable design and natural airflow that let the bush breathe with you
This is eco-luxury that doesn’t overwhelm, but restores. A place where simplicity is elegant, and nature is the true indulgence.
In the Heart of Tarangire, On the Edge of the Extraordinary
Pumzika sits deep within Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most soulful and wildlife-rich sanctuaries. Here, the experience isn’t curated from afar—it happens right outside your tent.
Daily game drives through baobab forests and elephant-filled valleys
Optional walking safaris guided by seasoned local trackers
Unrushed encounters with lions, leopards, giraffes, and over 500 bird species
Sunset moments with a drink in hand and the savanna bathed in gold
Wildlife pathways that pass directly through camp—no barriers, only presence
This isn’t just a visit to the wild. It’s a relationship with it.

Pumzika Means “To Rest” in Swahili

This is not just safari. This is sanctuary.
Welcome to Pumzika Luxury Camp—where the wild meets stillness.
Pumzika Luxury Camp
Deep in the Serengeti. Rooted in Stillness.
A Place Where the Wild Finds You
Set within the vast, open heart of Serengeti National Park, where golden grasslands meet endless skies and migration paths stretch to the horizon, Pumzika Luxury Camp offers a rare kind of presence. Here, canvas tents breathe with the breeze, stars arrive like old friends, and every sound is a voice in the Serengeti’s living story.
This isn’t just where you see the wild—it’s where you feel it. In the hush between bird calls. In the rustle of hooves passing in the dark. In your own stillness, rediscovered.

Would like to use them again.
KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
Delia G2024-01-30A very nice and enjoyable trip! A very good and knowledgeable guide! Enjoyed it a lot!!! The weather also helped :). The route is less difficult than expected. Definitely worth it for a day trip.
