48,644 SNARES
We have donated over $10,000 towards the removal of 48,644 snares collected within the Serengeti. This vital program is making a serious dent on the illegal trapping and poaching of wildlife in one of our most significant ecosystems.
As a company that was born from its love of wilderness, we take responsibility for its protection.
Nomad was founded on the belief that for us to make a meaningful contribution to the conservation of our wildlife, we must also take care of the needs of our people, making sure that it is them that feel the benefit from keeping wild places safe. In a normal season we put our safaris to work. We make use of our reach and logistics; planes, cars, camps and teams, to reach deep into some of the most remote parts of Tanzania with health and education outreach. We donate safaris to auctions to raise funds, all of the proceeds from our camp shops goes to our projects, and all of this is managed by a full time CSR Manager and supported by our camp teams.
The Nomad Trust works on three main areas of focus; Conservation, Education and Health. Our in-house team work alongside our camp folk to run initiatives of our own, as well as use our influence to generate awareness and support for projects that are strongly aligned with our core Nomad values.
We know that without an active involvement in conservation and community improvement, as well as a commitment to sustainable management of Tanzania’s wonderful wildlife and habitats, our children won’t have the same pleasure and privilege we've enjoyed all these years.
to make sure we all have a wilderness waiting for us when this is over.

Here are some of the highlights of the work done by the Nomad Trust over the last season.
We have donated over $10,000 towards the removal of 48,644 snares collected within the Serengeti. This vital program is making a serious dent on the illegal trapping and poaching of wildlife in one of our most significant ecosystems.
Since 2017 we have hosted over 400 local school students on Nomad safaris and in Nomad camps. The groups go on game drives with our guides, have conservation lessons with leading experts, and tour around camp gaining career guidance from all the different departments. Not to mention heaps of fun with our superb Nomad guiding team.
With camps in remote parts of Tanzania we are well placed to be the eyes and ears of health organisations that otherwise couldn’t afford to access these areas. To date we have supported 2,000 people receive eye treatment; 98 cataract surgeries; prescribed 700 pairs of reading glasses; and educated 3,500 people on eye care.
We’ve funded 60 participants through week-long apiary training, donating 10 community beehives and all the necessary tools to get them going. This is also alongside 120 community members trained in composting and organic farming techniques to help improve yield for local villages as well as protect the fragile ecosystems on park boundaries from the use of harmful chemicals. Another 15 have been trained in poultry keeping, providing them with stock, vaccines and feeds, and helping them set up small businesses that supply high quality chicken to our camps. Many of these farmers now supply our camps with fresh produce which is a win- win outcome, providing our clients with delicious fresh produce and local farmers and their families with a planet-friendly source of income.
For many years we have run nursery morning porridge "Meal-A-Day" program for more than 100 children in Katumbi, near Greystoke Mahale. For these children this is their most important meal of the day and is vital in their early development.
Since 2019 we’ve fully funded and run six trips into nearly all of our camps. Eight aspiring wildlife photographers have participated, generating fantastic imagery, as well as a series of Swahili wildlife films produced for distribution especially amongst communities in human-wildlife conflict areas to promote conservation.
As part of our Plaster House outreach program, over the past two years 500 children have been screened across Tanzania, with 80 children now on surgery schedules and 67 having received successful operations.
Fifteen ex-lion killers join the new village ambassador group in one of the communities of Katavi. The group act as community conservation ambassadors, helping to deter lion-killing traditions that are considered a show of strength and bravery.
