Safari Camps in Tanzania

Thomson Nyumbas

Swahili for “home,” Thomson Safaris Nyumbas are eco-friendly, mobile, tented camps, well-located for excellent wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania.

Designed exclusively for Thomson and by Thomson, and based on over 27 years of experience, these comfortable mobile camps allow you direct access to the wildlife while keeping you comfortable during your safari.

The Nyumbas offer comfortable accommodations combined with direct access to the remotest wilds, all without noisy generators or light pollution. These eco-friendly camps feature superior service, delicious gourmet cuisine, fine bedding and the luxury of peaceful and sustainable co-existence with the surrounding landscape and wildlife.

The Thomson Nyumbas are part of our vision of sustainable travel in which we offer guests comfort and style in the remotest wilds, all without harming the land or the communities around us.

Amenities and Special Touches Include:

• Locally crafted furnishings and sustainable sisal flooring decorate each Nyumba so that you get a taste of authentic African décor made by local craftsmen from local materials.

• Eco-friendly solar lighting is used in almost every camp. Instead of wasting fuel, creating light pollution and introducing unwelcome noise with generators, we found this gentler approach to be more effective and much more pleasant

• Private, en suite bathrooms include ingenious, self-contained, pump-flush toilets that do not require fixed plumbing. You will have plenty of washing water at any time, safari-style hot showers, a private dressing area, water basins, soft bath towels and hand-made soaps.

• Superior service from an attentive staff who is eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

• Proper beds with fine, 300-thread count linens, extra blankets and fluffy pillows.

Imagine yourself at your Nyumba, enjoying the smells, sights and sounds of the African wilderness.

Awake in the morning to the cooing of the African dove, the fresh scent of earth and grass and the possibilities of what the day may hold. After lunch, rest in the shade on your private verandah and watch zebra graze in the distance, or a weaverbird busily building its home in a nearby tree.

Before dinner, sip a glass of wine by a campfire under the canopy of millions of stars...

Meals are always wonderful; they are prepared from fresh, local produce by our expert chefs and feature a wide variety of options from freshly baked breads and homemade soups to delicious salads and tempting desserts. You will enjoy dining with your safari companions in an elegant canvas dining room.
