"Sleeping with wilderbeest at serengeti camp"

3 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2012
"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." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"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." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 7n in Zanzibar

"Amazing camp and safari"

3 nights Arrived 23 Jul 2012
"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." See all these reviews: 10n in Zanzibar; 7n in Tanzania

"Arrived Day 1 of new camp near Mara River!"

4 nights Arrived 10 Jul 2011
"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." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda
