Nyumbu Tanzania is an indigenous, Tanzanian-owned and female-led safari operation headed by our vision carrier, Sarah Egani, a one in a million Maasai woman. The collection comprises a luxury mobile safari and a brand new lodge.
Nyumbu Luxury Migration Camp launched in 2023. This five-star, 12 tent migration camp repositions twice yearly with the herds — Ndutu on Lake Masek for the calving season, Kogatende for ease of access to the river crossings.
Nyumbu is Swahili for 'wildebeest'. Redefining luxury in the wilderness - Nyumbu Luxury Migration Camp is not your usual mobile camp, like a permanent camp it has solid fixtures and furniture, 24/7 hot water piped into the tents from our solar panels and the team serves decadent hospitality menu's. All guests on Game Package enjoy an exclusive use game vehicle.
Nyumbu Tanzania is now extending that same standard into its first permanent lodge, Upeo Serengeti, opening July 2027.
Upeo is Swahili for 'horizon' — the eight villa lodge is small by design and exclusive by choice. Built straight out of a granite kopje above Kogatende, where the view doesn't need a filter and the entrance doesn't give it
away until the very last step.
5 Standard, 2 Honeymoon and 1 Family Villa. Every villa shares the same DNA: a standalone granite bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers, private plunge pool deck and 180 savannah views, round-the-clock power and raw materials left exactly as this land gave them to us.
40% off our rack rate - Upeo Serengeti - Opening incentive offer valid for bookings confirmed by 30 April 2027.
Nyumbu Tanzania will open Upeo Serengeti Lodge in July 2027, its first permanent lodge in the Serengeti, featuring eight villas set above Kogatende with private plunge pools and expansive savanna views.
