The sales angle
This is a private hosted safari, not another lodge listing.
Guests land on this site with three fears: price fog, wrong lodge choice, and loss of privacy. The page answers all three before asking for a call.
Tumbeta House gives the base: a private home at Djuma with 3 en-suite bedrooms, private deck, outdoor areas, and room for up to 6 guests. Michel and Mike add the missing layer: personal planning, safari context, and daily host care.
Packages
Two stay lengths. One clear call path.
The offer is simple enough to scan, then personal enough to need a Zoom call before final quote.

Call-first booking
Start with a private Zoom call, not a cold checkout.
A private safari has too many personal details for a one-click booking. The call checks dates, group shape, travel style, food, flights, and whether this stay is the right fit.

Fit
Guests, ages, pace, interests, mobility, and privacy needs.
2
Plan
Arrival route, stay length, meals, safari rhythm, and extras.
