We were welcomed by friendly staff all round. The owner Steven introduced himself and checked in on us at breakfast every day.

The menu is small, but the food and cocktails were scrumptious. Perfect example of quality over quantity.
Breakfast is served with fresh side of vegetables every morning.

The rooms are clean and comfortable.

The views from the restaurant are breathtaking and we managed to spot a few whales from our dinner table.

I can't wait to visit again

This place is pure paradise! From watching the whales from the terrace, having awesome coffee & new breakfast every day to a super friendly team working here and some of the best food in the area. It's quiet, cozy and the perfect spot to relax & go diving, snorkeling or any other activities. Steven really made this place into something special. It's been simply perfect and actually exceeded my expectations. Thanks once again for everything and until next time!

Rating Kumba a 5 star is limiting when it exceeds all expectations and is deserving of so much more. This is a phenomenal place, from the rooms, delicious food, kind staff, beautiful yoga and breathtaking views. Steven I can’t thank you and your team enough for running such a stunning lodge. It is infused with kindness and love which makes it such a great place to stay! “Thank you for everything, I have no complaints.” ????

Posizione incantevole, il ristorante con la piscina che affaccia sull’oceano impagabile. Cucina ottima, si mangia divinamente. E personale molto gentile sopratutto Freddie Elias ed Armando. Le camere non sono male ma molto piccole, non eccessivi confort in camera. 5 stelle rispetto a quanto c’è in Mozambico ci valgono tutte.

Hi Mario

We have different types of rooms so we can offer accommodation for various budgets and preferences. Our garden rooms are the cheapest and also the smallest rooms, perhaps next time you can try out our ocean or palm bungalows which are more spacious.

Go well and see you next time

My stay at Kumba lodge was nothing short of amazing.

From the moment I walked into the lodge. The friendly staff welcomed me with open arms.

The lodge is BEAUTIFUL. The giant infinity pool is a great way to cool off in the African sun! They have a great lounge area and high-speed wifi (perfect for remote work!) I love that you can access the beach right from the lodge as well. It’s about a mile away from the main town of Tofo which is a great escape from the hustle and bustle.

The rooms are gorgeous. They have ocean rooms or jungle palm tree rooms. You won’t regret either choice! The way the rooms are designed is rustic and modern. Beds are so comfortable and you can literally see the sunrise and sunset from the rooms! Such a great way to wake up in the morning. I have never felt so comfortable and relaxed on a trip.

The food menu is delicious and unique. I loved everything I ate. Highly suggest trying to falafel bowl and Asian noodles as that was my favorite! But the entire menu is delicious

Booking your stay in Tofo at Kumba lodge will be the best decision you can make! Additionally they offer a lot of great tours so you can get to see the rest of the area :)

Simplicity and tranquility in a relaxed rural Mozambican beach setting. Absolute heaven and food for the soul. If you're into yoga/pilates or just quietly contemplating the endless movement of the ocean, Kumba Lodge is the place for you!

Mijn man en ik verbleven hier in mei 1,5 week na een aantal weken rondgereisd te hebben. Dit is een fantastische plek waar je helemaal tot rust kunt komen maar waar wel van alles te doen is. De yoga (door Steven) is top, een fijn terras met heerlijk zwembad, je kunt voor de deur surfen, om de hoek duiken en snorkelen, en er zijn precies genoeg goede restaurantjes in de buurt. We verbleven in een luxe cottage (nr1) op de duinen met subliem uitzicht. Dikke aanrader. Ontbijten is een feest, en ook voor lunch en diner hele lekkere opties. En overigens de enige plek in Mozambique/ZA met goede frites en goede mayonaise ;-)

Excellent experience with my family - 2 adults, 3 children.
Staff is very professional (even if not overly warm), place is very clean and in order, rooms are spacious and all.
However, I would like to highly recommend... the food! The restaurant has a small menu, but it's PERFECTLY executed. The samousas are the best I had in Mozambique, and the overall quality of the food is really really outstanding!

Had the best experience! Amazing value for money.

We are just driving off now after two nights at Kumba. Enjoyed the beautiful setting (the pool omg), amazing and delicious and generous breakfast, comfortable bed, clean rooms and very friendly staff. The morning yoga and pilates sessions were the cherry on top.

100% recommended, you won’t regret it.

We had a fantastic stay at Kumba. We stayed in a family room with a sea view with our 3 kids, the room was large and comfortable. The lodge feels brand new, very clean and modern.
We loved the food in the restaurant, that had lots of veggie options, but also lots for the carnivores or those who want to enjoy Mozambican seafood. I was happy to be located slightly outside but within walking distance of the village. It means the place is quiet, but that we were able to go out for meals on a few occasions.
We enjoyed the yoga, the beach and the activities offered by the hotel.
The only comment I would make is that the barriers on the terrace or on the stairs to the beach might be a bit scary for those who have really little kids (1-3 years ago)

O lodge está literalmente em cima da praia. Apesar disso, devido à sua arquitetura está perfeitamente integrado na bela paisagem. Dispõe de diversos serviços e facilidades como aulas de yoga, massagens, piscina, etc. O restaurante tem a cozinha aberta e ampla, sendo completamente visível pelos hóspedes. As refeições são de altíssima qualidade e extremo cuidado na apresentação... os olhos também comem... o pequeno almoço também é muito agradável. Os funcionários são extremamente simpáticos, incluindo o próprio gerente, sempre disposto a interagir com todos os hóspedes, o que nos fez sentir quase em casa.
Não sendo uma crítica com muito relevo, uma das coisas que não gostei foi o custo dos "extras" no pequeno almoço, por exemplo 50 MTC por uma tosta, porque só estava prevista uma - também me parece pouco e o valor um pouco desajustado.

Amazing boutique property a jewel in the Indian Ocean owned and run by Steve and Adalline. This is one of my favorite places I've ever stayed around the world. I can't say enough good things about it. I would highly, highly recommend it to everyone traveling to Tofo. There is a great emphasis on good hospitality and we felt treasured and looked after during our stay. The Ocean Bungalow has an amazing view of the ocean and was incredibly comfortable with en-suite bathroom, a walk-in shower, a private balcony and a panoramic ocean view which allowed us to fall asleep and wake up listening and seeing the crashing of waves.
The staff were incredibly friendly. They ensured we had a phenomenal experience. Food was very tasty, and there was a varied menu. The yoga shala at Kumba Lodge is built on a dune with unparalleled views over Tofo Beach and the Indian Ocean. Steve the owner offers free classes to residents 4 times a week. Thank you Steve and Adalline for a creating a sanctuary where we were able to relax and unwind
