Serengeti Safari Camp - blew us away

The safari experience totally blew us away.  I will never look at camping in the same way again!!! 

To be woken up every morning, with fresh coffee and to be able to sit outside our tent and watch the sunrise with zebra and wildebeest wandering by was truly magical. The location of the camp was just brilliant - we felt that we were right in the midst of it all.  And we truly were as one morning we woke up to a family of Elephants trooping through the staff quarters and a young male lion wandering near the main camp!

The staff were fantastic and treated us like royalty!  We felt totally spoilt and pampered from the moment we arrived.  The thing I was most surprised about the food, it was absolutely amazing!  I was totally in awe of the meals they managed to knock up in the camp, it put my cooking to shame!

Rem our guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable and interesting... and just a great guy in general. Really chatty and friendly but also would gave us plenty of time to ourselves too which made the whole thing a really relaxing experience.

Definitely recommending Nomad

I have to say that Rem [guide] really made our trip.  Hedid everything possible to make sure that the experience was trulymemorable.  A very knowledgable guide, great fun and and a genuinelyterrific guy.
 
The itinerary turned out to be exactly what I waslooking for, the combination of Grumeti and Lamai was perfect.
 
The tented safari camps were really superb withamazing locations, and the staff were all both very friendly and highlyprofessional.  The Lamai setting is truly spectacular and I’m sure thelodge will go from strength to strength.
 
The one thing that also deserves a special mention isthe food.  The meals, right down to the choice of wine were fantastic.
 
I’ll definitely be recommending Nomad to anyone I knowwho is interested in doing an East African safari, and I hope to book anothertrip with you in the not too distant future.
 
Many thanks for all your help.
 
Kinds regards

All in all a great safari


Difficult to know where to begin but certainly another magical experience! All 3 camps were superb and to end up at Greystoke was as good as any beach holiday with the added bonus of 3 magical days with the chimps. 
 
I think the highlight was the chimpanzees, made all the better for having to make an effort to get to see them. ( Makes it more rewarding) . We were amazed at their size and the human traits they exhibited even at one point having a mother bring her baby towards us to clearly show her off!
 
A mass of wonderful bird life (we are becoming twitchers with all these visits!)
 
Hundreds of Hippos and crocs trying to compete for water in Katavi 
 
Great food in all camps
 
Great staff / knowledgeable guides / excellent accommodation.
 
All in all another great safari leaving us wanting more and just as keen to return as soon as we can!

Nomad - superb all the way round

Nomads was superb all the way round.  The camps were fantastic and the mix of mobile tents and small permanent camps was perfect for our family.
 
We loved the game in the Western corridor - and the camp, staff and food was outstanding.  It really set the tone for what was to come.
 
Lamai was an unexpected treat!  What an amazing location tucked into the kopje.  We were really pampered with the beautiful suites, sundowners looking over the Mara plains and dinner under the stars.  Oh, and the pool!  Truly decadent… Susanne and Bas were wonderful hosts.       
 
Katavi was an adventure!  Hippos in camp on the way to dinner the first night, only to be repeated each of our four nights there (along with many elephants) and a few hyenas. Game viewing was awesome (crocs, hippos, leopard, lion and tons of birds).  Claus and Jill made us feel like family.  Although we had Chediel as our private guide, the Nomad guides were great as well.  Special thanks to Gabriel, Mohammad (Moody) and Paul.  Top notch, all of them.
 
Mahale was like no place on earth.  The setting is spectacular.  Lake Tanganyika was an oasis.  Wonderful swimming, snorkeling and kayaking.  The camp and facilities were world class – there could not be a finer location for a sundowner bar in Africa than Mahale!  We saw plenty of chimps, hiked to the waterfall for a refreshing late afternoon swim, took the dhow for a sunset cruise and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Paul and Lala were fantastic.  They were great hosts and their local knowledge of the chimps, birds and Africa in general added so much to our visit.  Special thanks to Robert who was our Nomads guide.  He was great.
 
Chediel (“Chedi”), the private guide arranged for us, was a huge contribution to our overall experience.  Chedi was so knowledgeable about everything from animals to birds to local culture to geology.  We spent 12 days with him (from early morning game drives, to flights across Tanzania, to sundowner time and dinner).  He was simply outstanding.  We learned so much from him and truly enjoyed his company every day.  All the Nomads guides looked up to him as a legend.  He was really great.
