Pumzika-Tu

A clifftop sanctuary above the elephants. Come and just relax.

A PLACE APART

A house above the wild.

On the edge of Shimba Hills, Pumzika Tu looks out across Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary. Forest, open sky and the changing light set the pace. Come for a few nights, or find room to stay awhile.

Wir hatten ein paar wunderschöne Tage in Pumzika tu. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und hat uns bestens betreut. John ist ein sehr höflicher und versierter Gastgeber der uns viele Tipps und Hinweise gegeben hat. Die Terrasse bietet eine wundervolle Aussicht auf die Shimba Hills sowie einen Infinity-Pool mit Blick auf den Nationalpark. Wir kommen gerne wieder während unserer nächsten Kenia Reise.

Fantastic location so much cooler and more pleasant than Diani (the coast) which is 35km away, incredible views, wonderful staff, lovely bush babies! The house needs work, insects at this time of the year were a problem and a few other minor issues. But we will be back again!

Another great stay at Pumzika-tu! This was our third visit and we'll certainly be back. Since our previous visit, John has made upgrades to make the space even more comfotable.A beautiful spot to relax in, unbelievable views, lovely pool, BBQ, and outdoor living spaces. Comfortable beds, the rooms upstairs have air conditioning. The team is onsite to handle any requests or concerns. We recommend booking the chef, he did a great job! And the highlight for us is always Muppet, the adorable, super friendly little dog who is a delight!

We could not fault Pumzika Tu or any of the crew. We only wish we had stayed longer. Everyone was an absolute gem and nothing was too much trouble. In Pumzika Tu I truly found my slice of heaven on earth! It really does what it says on the tin - “Pumzika Tu” 5/5. Can’t wait to be back !

Gorgeous views, really relaxing stay, lovely and super helpful staff. They helped us with getting around, organized hikes, bought groceries just really really helpful everyone.The house itself is a bit old, could use some renovation and just be aware that the living room area is pretty much open which I loved but some people might have issues with insects (for me that’s part of the deal). Overall great value for money, accommodation a bit on the rugged side but still comfy.
