Classic Camps Thomson Nyumbas


Swahili for “home,” Thomson Safaris Nyumbas are eco-friendly, mobile camps that are strategically located in the Serengeti, in Tarangire National Park and at Ngorongoro Crater. They always offer exclusivity, scenic vistas and excellent access to wildlife.

Designed exclusively for Thomson and by Thomson, and based on over 27 years of experience, these comfortable canvas bush homes allow you direct access to the wildlife with all the amenities you need to feel comfortable during your safari. Our conservation-minded approach also means that the environment - both the wildlife and the landscape - is not adversely affected by our stay.







Accommodations are simple, yet comfortable and elegant. Spacious, walk-in tents feature locally crafted decor, solar-powered lighting*, fine-mesh screened windows, verandah and private en-suite bathroom.

Please note that because these are mobile and environmentally friendly camps, they do not have fixed plumbing. Still, you will have all you need with hot showers any time of day, private dressing area, sinks with water basins, and ingenious, water-saving, self-contained flush toilets.

There are no noisy generators or light pollution in these eco-friendly camps, leaving you free to enjoy endless fresh air, beautiful night skies and the exotic sounds of the thriving eco-system around you.

Insatiable is not sustainable!
We’ve drawn the line at certain extravagances that are simply not necessary on safari and do not fit our idea of Sustainable Luxury. You won’t find chandeliers or air conditioning or even fixed plumbing at our Nyumbas. You will find soft, cozy bedding, privacy, handcrafted Tanzanian-made décor, excellent service from an attentive staff, exclusive locations and delicious meals. We believe there is no better base from which to explore the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania.




   



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.
