The Lounging Lion
Close encounters like this don’t happen by chance. They happen because of your guides’ unmatched patience and expertise. That’s why you choose Thomson.

Walk Amongst Giants
Thomson’s small group safaris give you the freedom to follow what fascinates you—like spending extra time with a tower of giraffes as they glide across the savanna. With fewer people and more personal time with your guide, every day unfolds at your pace, around your interests.

Up Close & Personal
The best part about your Nyumba camps? The safari doesn’t end when you return from the day’s wildlife drives. Zebras, giraffes, and other friendly grazers often wander past your tent back at camp, making every moment in Tanzania feel like part of the adventure.

The Perfect Shot
To say Tanzania is photogenic is putting it lightly. Nature photographers from around the world come to the Serengeti to hone their art and skill in a beautiful landscape, full of beautiful wildlife.

Meet the Maasai
One of the most unforgettable moments on a Thomson safari is spending time with the Maasai community—visiting their homes, learning about their traditions, and hearing stories passed down through generations. It’s a connection that stays with you long after your flight home.

King of the Serengeti
Did you know Tanzania is home to more lions than Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia combined? Serengeti National Park alone boasts over 3,000! That’s a fact—we’re not lion.

Cheers to Adventure
A wise man once said, life is just a series of champagne breakfasts separated by unremarkable events.
On this unforgettable morning, passengers of the Serengeti Balloon Safaris raised a glass with the crew, celebrating with champagne and a hearty breakfast amidst the breathtaking plains. What an incredible way to have started another day in paradise.
