The name “Nyumbu” itself carries cultural significance, as it means “wildebeest” in Swahili, one of Tanzania’s official languages and a reflection of the country’s vibrant culture. The choice of this name showcases the company’s commitment to preserve wildlife, local languages and traditions. When you’re sitting here in the famous savannas of East Africa and the Rift Valley, you realize that you’re part of something bigger, something older. You’re really sitting in the cradle of humankind.

Early man walked through these savannas, across these lakes, next to Lake Masik, where Nyumbu beyond Journeys founder builds his passion and love for East Africa as Safari destination that touches mankind begins on Earth.

Rural Children’s Education

We give a helping hand to girls in East Africa to get them off to the best start in life. Equal opportunity and giving girls the best education possible is a cause close to our hearts. Unfortunately, for many rural children around the world a high-school education is not something that is easily attainable, and pressures exist for them to go straight from childhood to motherhood. Working with our own family connections in Kenya, we set up the Nyumbu Beyond Journeys Village Share Fund to educate rural children in Uganda and Kenya, ensuring they are able to get a high-school education and better prospects for their future.
