Exclusive Use at Tumbeta Family Camp

At Tumbeta Family Camp, the African wilderness becomes entirely yours. Exclusive use of the camp means your family and friends have full access to the lodge, staff, and the breathtaking Tumbeta Private Game Reserve – creating the perfect setting for family milestones, reunions, celebrations, and weekend getaways.

Multigenerational Travel: A Family Safari for All Ages

The lodge accommodates up to 24 guests in a variety of family units, standard rooms, and luxury tented suites. This makes it an ideal retreat for generational travel, where grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren can share precious time together.

Celebrate and Connect in Privacy

Whether it’s a milestone birthday, anniversary, reunion with friends, or an intimate wedding, exclusive use ensures your group enjoys complete privacy. Two game viewing vehicles are available for larger groups, so everyone has a front-row seat to the Big 5 and other wildlife that thrive in this pristine 8,000-hectare reserve.
