Welcome to Pumba’s Backpackers

Walking distance to the Hatfield Gautrain Station, in the heart of Hatfield’s residential neighbourhood, Pumbas Backpackers offers everything the local and international budget traveller could need.

For more than 3 years TripAdvisor has rated Pumbas as Pretoria’s top hostel, and without blowing our own trumpets, we believe it is with good reason. We have a beautiful pool, a huge garden, dorms, private rooms, cabins, permanent tents and even space to pitch your tent or park your overlander, and don’t forget the free Wi-Fi and breakfast as well.

From the intrepid traveller bicycling his way across the African continent, to local sports teams visiting the University, or the countless awesome volunteers moving through our Capital, Pumbas is the spot for you to take it easy for a few days, plan your life, catch up with the world and maybe even work on your tan with the 305 average days of sunshine a year we have in Pretoria.
