"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp"

3 nights Arrived 29 Sep 2014
"The second Nomad Camp we stayed at. It was also very well run and well organised by Joseph. All the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The chef produced some wonderful meals which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Philip was another exceptional guide who took us on some amazing game drives, notably to witness the migration of the wildebeest as they crossed the Mara river. We very appreciated his sense of humour, which took us in every now and again." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 8n in Zanzibar

"Wildlife at our doorstep"

3 nights Arrived 1 Aug 2014
"We were very happy here - we had incredible sights of wildlife, including spectacular wildebiest River Mara crossings . Due to the mobile character, we were very close to all animals, they were only short drives away from camp, whereas visitors from other camps/lodges were driving full days. We had an early drive (including picnic breakfast) of approx. 5 hours, then a long lunch break and another shorter drive in the early evenings of approx. 2 hours.

Very knowledgable, professional, friendly and competent guide who was the reasons that Serengeti was one of our highlights; very friendly and professional staff at the camp." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"

4 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2014
"Very very nice camp set on a hillside with a good view across the plaines when we were they. Exactly what we wished for. Very good main dining/sitting area and very well set out. Very good food. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Good game viewing trips across the Serengeti and exactly what is needed to get to the Mara River without too much of a drive and see the wilderbeast crossing. Also good sightings of most animals including lions, leopards, cheetah and also a back rhino and calf (if briefly).

Very good guide and knowledgable." See all these reviews: 15n in Tanzania

"Great experience at Nomad Safari Camp"

3 nights Arrived 17 Feb 2014
"The camp was amazing, with a distant view of Ndutu Lake and quite luxurious for a semi-mobile camp. The beds were comfortable, lighting provided by solar lamps, hot water provided 3 times a day! The food was amazing as I have always found in safari camps. And, as always, the company fascinating. Our Nomad guide, Ally Kea was superlative with endless knowledge, entertaining stories with a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. He made us feel so special on a daily basis. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their guide.

We were fortunate enough to experience the Serengeti from a hot air balloon and it's was an absolutely lovely perspective. Every day our safaris were exceptional and we always saw more than we ever expected partly thanks to Ally's keen eye." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda; 2n in Zanzibar

"Great Location at Nomad"

4 nights Arrived 24 Dec 2013
"Very much enjoyed the Nomad camp. Although a mobile camp and fairly temporary, the tents were good and the main mess tent was very comfortable. Very much situated in the bush and the atmosphere at the camp was fabulous.

The service was extremely good and friendly, and the food was excellent. It was great sitting around the campfire each night.

We had a brilliant guide, called Godwin, who was very knowledgeable, and who we all enjoyed spending time with. We were extremely lucky in that the wildebeest migration was happening around us and we also saw so much game it made it all very special.

We were at the camp for Christmas and the management went out of their way to make this a special time for us. It was very much appreciated." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 25 Oct 2013
"We absolutely loved this camp - its close to nature appeal - glamping at its finest - we were very well looked after & Lawrence the manager was excellent company at dinner & ran the camp very efficiently. We were amazed at the standard of the food that was produced in a camp kitchen. All the staff were friendly, both Milton & the other Lawrence always had a chat with us at meal times.

The 'bucket' shower was a great experience and works really well once you get the measure of it! We appreciated the lovely hot water for washing in & our coffee & biscuits that were supplied in the mornings with our wakeup call. One of the other hi-lights was the hot water bottle in our bed at night!" See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 26 Aug 2013
"On an open plain unfortunately far from any animals. It is was clear why the camp was here when the migration was at least two hours away...

The manager was an amateur and routinely lied to us about matters simple and complex. Laundry was not done when it was supposed to be be because the truck has broken down when this was not the case as we saw it driving by. Snakes under the mat were "garden snakes" rather than the poisonous variety in the guidebook Our guide was quite good." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania

"Serengeti Safari Camp Feedback"

3 nights Arrived 23 Jul 2013
"This was the first safari camp I'd stayed at that didn't overlook a river although the vistas were just as impressive.

Every aspect of the camp was uniformly excellent; it was only the fifth African/Expert Africa camp I'd visited but it bore all the Expert Africa hallmarks of luxurious accommodation, expert guiding, imaginative, tasty food and inspired vegetarian provision. My Mum would have been well impressed with the hot water bottles and a choice of two types of toilet spray!

Special mention must go to our guide, Philip, for his expertise and patience (especially all the stopping and my incessant bird questions as I attempted to refamiliarise myself with them all again). Also, Babu back at the camp." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania
