Sleeping with wilderbeest at serengeti camp

We loved our well furnished tent with every convenience and its fantastic bucket showers. Spent one night surrounded by very noisy wildebeest. Saw lots of other game from our tent.

The camp staff were very friendly, looked after us well and produced amazing food.

Our guide Chediel (Chedi) was great and always managed to find us amazing sights from eight cheetah in the last fifteen minutes of an evening safari to a blue breasted Roller eating a lizard. He looked after us well even in the rain.

Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review

This place was absolutely magical. Babu and Goodluck and their team couldn't have done more to make us feel more at home.

I guess we were fortunate in that we had the the camp to ourselves for two nights but the service, the food and the friendliness of the camp team was sensational. A truly special place.

Amazing camp and safari

As we were with Nomad for our entire trip, it was a pleasure to pull into their camp. Had a drink of our choice waiting for us as we got out of our truck.

Tent was amazing...luxurious and rustic, felt like we could have been on Safari with Teddy Roosevelt. Woke up each morning with a view of zebra, wildebeest, baboons, eland, gazelle, etc. Free drinks and time around the campfire each night, and community dinners with the other guests...which was a very nice experience after more than a week just eating with the two of us.

Staff was amazing, food was great, and the safari was spectacular...drove right through the wildebeest migration, and had lunch surrounded 360 by wildebeests and zebras. GREAT place to end our safari. Can't say enough good things about Nomad Tanzania.

Great guide at Serengeti Safari Camp

Lovely situation,very friendly staff but lacked management. Dietary requests and drink orders often forgotten. Tents a little tired,e.g hole in toilet roof and zips difficult. Water for bucket shower unpredictable in time of arrival!

Expert Africa comments

Serengeti Safari Camp was sorry that the camp didn’t quite live up to the expectations of these travellers.

They said that historically they had always found the camp to work well with no manager – guests were just hosted by their guides. However, recently it seems that in certain cases the system isn’t working as well it used to. They have listened to guest feedback and so from next season (June 2012) they will have a manager in camp which will improve service issues.

Furthermore, over April and May the camp will have a complete soft furnishing refurbishment and tent canvases cleaned/renewed etc as needed.

Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review

Perfect camp. Two days before we were to head out the 'mobile' camp relocated to be right inside the migration which was a truly incredible experience.

Falling asleep to the sound of wildebeests is truly an excellent experience.

Arrived Day 1 of new camp near Mara River!

Tents, service, food and location were all excellent.

At night in your tent you could hear the lions roar, hyenas cry and wildebeests migrating through the camp. Fascinating but not scary.

Days on safari with our Nomad guide, Khalifa, were excellent. We saw the wildebeest and zebra in their tens of thousands moving inexorably north towards the Mara and Sand Rivers and then, somtimes, crossing. It rained a bit 2 days we were there which freshened the grass and made the animals less desperate to cross the Mara or Sand River. The crossings, when they occurred, were exciting and not without their peril for the wildebeests from broken legs on the rocks or crocodiles or lions.

We also sawe a leopard kill, cheetahs consuming a kill, many prides of lions and a lion kill as well as giraffes, elephants, hyenas, jackals, etc. The days were full of interest.
