NyumbaNyumba — Get home with dignity

South Africa → home

Get home with dignity.

When someone you love passes away far from home, Nyumba brings them back to their family in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho or Eswatini. For a small monthly amount, we take care of the journey, so your family doesn't have to.

5–7 working days from South Africa to home.

Families doing it alone often wait 2–3 weeks and pay R30,000 to R50,000.

Has someone passed away?

We are here for you now. Report it and we will call you back.
