Nomad Tanzania is one of East Africa's original safari companies. For the past 20 years we’ve owned and operated our outstanding small safari camps in three of the remotest corners of Tanzania. Over the years we’ve built a reputation for quality that we’re proud of.
The combination of our camps makes for some outstanding safaris. In this section you'll find some ideas to give you a taste of what we think works best.
You can flick through our sample safaris to get ideas, or filter them by month, camp or both to find suggestions that fit your specific requirements.

Nomad Tanzania is one of East Africa's original safari companies.
For the past 20 years we've pioneered, owned and operated our outstanding small safari camps in three of the remotest corners of Tanzania. If you are looking for superb locations, exceptional guiding and the essence of safari, get in touch.
Few nights out will leave you with memories of this quality.
Flycamping is a wonderful surpise, best left unexplained...you simply have to try it for yourself. Do something exceptional that you won't forget.
Selous Fly Camping
Adventures aren't only for grown-ups.
Going on safari as a family means time spent together, new experiences for everyone and the sort of memories that last a lifetime.
Take the kids on safari in Tanzania
"Simple but luxurious, the service, food and guiding are all five star, as are the spectacular views."

Visit the Serengeti between December & March
Combine the migration in the southern plains with the remote northern Serengeti for a great value, awesome wildlife safari.
Serengeti in Secret Season
Chada Katavi has always been wild
Katavi is a wild place. We often get elephant passing through camp - it's as if people are very much the visitors to a place belonging to the animals. That's why we love it.

Wildebeest Migration - Crossing The Mara River
Watch this breathtaking video shot by Nicky Lancaster exclusively for Nomad Tanzania
Dramatic footage of the Mara River crossing
"We both so hope that Nomad can resist the increasing demand ...for smarter, glitzier camps, and keep the mobile camp just as it is: for us, it is perfectly in keeping with the bush, and added immeasurably to our enjoyment. "

Family Safari: Big Migration & Wild Serengeti
Combine a small traditional tented camp close to the wildebeest migration on the southern Serengeti plains with the iconic Lamai Serengeti, built amongst a rock kopje, close to the Mara River at a time when there are few people but loads of ...
Day 1. Arusha to Serengeti Safari Camp
- Morning flight from Arusha to Ndutu in the southern Serengeti plains. Met by your private Nomad car & guide for a short game drive to camp on the edge of the Ndutu woodlands. Settle into Serengeti Safari Camp for a delicious lunch, siesta in the heat of the day before heading out on an afternoon game drive. Return to camp for hot safari showers, ice cold drinks around the fire and a delicious dinner under the stars.
Day 2. Serengeti Safari Camp
- You can entirely dictate the pace of your day, in discussion with your guide. Search for lion or cheetah along the edge of the woodland or head out into the vast plains to get in amongst the widlebeest migration, along with herds of zebra and gazelle at every turn
- You'll be surprised by the fabulous variety of birdlife in this area as well as the carpet of flowers that develops with the first rains. By early February the wildebeest ...
Day 3. Lamai Serengeti
- After an early morning game drive within the woodlands, catch a scheduled flight from Ndutu to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti. Too often ignored at this time of year, this area is a gem in the green season. Recently opened, and sensitively developed within the rocks, Lamai Serengeti has 12 room combing canvas, rock and thatch; each fabulously comfortable room enjoys one of the best views in the whole Serengeti.
Day 4. Lamai Serengeti
- Dominated by the Mara river, full of crocs & hippos, this area is great for lion prides as well as big herds of buffalo, elephant, cheetah as well as leopard in the many kopjes that make this landscape so distinctive. Also look out for the small Oribi which thrives in this area but is otherwise extremely scarce in northern Tanzania generally.
- As well as quiet game drives & walking safaris between camp and the Mara river itself we ...
Day 5. Lamai Serengeti
- Another day of fabulous game viewing. Again though, you dictate the pace according to your own particular areas of interest. Don't forget that it's ok to just sit and enjoy the spectacular views!
- We love this area as much as anywhere in the Serengeti and, having been operating mobile & seasonal camps here on and off since 1993 our guides know every nook and cranny.
Day 6. Depart to Arusha
- A morning flight can scoop you up from here and take you to Western Tanzania (twice a week on Monday & Thursday), arriving in Katavi or Mahale for a late lunch. Alternatively there are scheduled flights back to Arusha and onward to Zanzibar, Selous or north to Nairobi.
