The Safari Experience

Nyumba Camps

Nyumba means “home” in Swahili. Set amid Tanzania’s remarkable landscapes, these wilderness camps combine the adventure of sleeping under canvas with thoughtful comforts. Camps move seasonally to follow the wildlife, and it’s not unusual to find tracks from warthogs, dik-diks and other animals passing right through camp.

The hospitality is just as memorable. Skilled camp chefs prepare delicious meals that blend familiar favorites with East African flavors. Guests have been known to enjoy them so much they ask for the recipes!
