Nyumba Tents

Nyumba tents, exclusive to our travelers, provide both proximity to Tanzania’s wilderness and generous Western-style amenities. Nyumba tents were designed by co-founder Rick Thomson to give you the ultimate safari camping experience. Take a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making your Nyumba so special.

Each tent is outfitted with:

  • A queen-sized bed with fine linens (twin-sized beds available upon request)

  • Private en suite bathrooms

  • Safari-style en suite showers with hot water

  • Solar LED lighting

Nyumba means “home” in Swahili, and that’s how camp feels. Each Nyumba camp blends seamlessly with its surroundings, rotating seasonally to keep you close to wildlife. Expect tracks from warthogs, dik-diks, and grazers right through camp. The highly trained chefs create delicious meals with a Western palate in mind, featuring East African flavors that guests rave about and request recipes for every year.
