The crew left there have everything they need and are living a bit of a Robinson Crusoe life in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.  But, they are hard at work! The camp is being updated and fixed while there are no guests around, and the Big Bird Bar was first on the list. We'll keep you posted on the progress, and we look forward to having you for a drink, watching the sun set over Lake Tanganyika, just as soon as the time is right.  ![](https://blog.nomad-tanzania.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/WhatsApp_Image_2020-04-09_at_10_19_27.jpeg) ![](https://blog.nomad-tanzania.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/WhatsApp_Image_2020-04-09_at_10_19_25.jpeg) Share: [Make enquiry](https://www.nomad-tanzania.com/contact?r=https://blog.nomad-tanzania.com/safaris/latest-nomad-news/big-bird-bar-gets-a-bit-of-love) ![Footprint](https://blog.nomad-tanzania.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/NomadTanzania_June2020/images/footprint-icon.png?width=52&name=footprint-icon.png "Footprint") ## Follow Us Back to top ![Tagline](https://blog.nomad-tanzania.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/NomadTanzania_June2020/images/footer-tagline.png?width=342&name=footer-tagline.png "Tagline") Sales (8:30am -
