VIDEO: Go Behind the Scenes of a Nyumba Tent with Rick Thomson

After 40 years in the Tanzania bush, Rick Thomson, one of the co-founders of Thomson Safaris, developed the perfect safari camping experience: the Nyumba. These tents were designed with extensive feedback from guests who shared what they wanted most on safari.

Follow Rick on his behind-the-scenes tour of a Thomson Nyumba: expect queen-sized beds, hot showers, private verandahs and more.
