Overview Accommodation Experiences When To Go

Life changing experience in the wilderness

Designed with exploration and walking safaris in mind, lightness of touch and mobility are central to its purpose. This means we can get into - and around - some of Tanzania’s least explored wilderness areas.

This camp is the ultimate way for a group of friends or family to get off-grid in little known areas of Tanzania. The experience is adventurous by its very nature, but much of the pleasure is the gentle rhythm that establishes itself on your safari.

What's this all about?

Wake with the dawn, walk in the cool of the day, rest in the heat and simply soak up being in a truly wild environment.

At night you’ll eat under the stars before drifting off to sleep to the sounds of scops owls and nightjars. And yes, you might wake with a jolt of adrenaline as a lion’s roar rips into the darkness close by. And in that moment you may even ask yourself why you’re doing this. But as the sun rises and you relish your early morning coffee, you’ll say to yourself. “Isn’t that what it’s all about?"

UGALLA NATIONAL PARK

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

RUAHA NATIONAL PARK

Ugalla: August to October

Ugalla National Park is a hidden gem on the safari circuits but offers the chance to explore an area of Tanzania that before this has remained out of the question.

A proper old-school, mobile safari in Ugalla is an experience not many people can boast and is a hugely exciting prospect for the right person. During the dry season the river attracts a range of wildlife and birdlife and with varied terrains throughout, Ugalla seems to be a perfect spot for exploration.

Serengeti: November to June

10,000 square miles of the greatest wildlife spectacle and this is your chance to walk amongst it all. Nomad has always had a particular attraction to this kind of wild, this is where it all began.

This is an experience like no other that will get you into spectacular, untouched areas of this vast national park. The routes and walks will be decided by your walking guide and they’ll lead the way into spectacular spots, with no one else in sight.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Ruaha: July to October

Ruaha is superb for walking - the varied and vast landscapes with sweeping sand rivers and swathes of woodland mean that there is abundant wildlife and revelations around every corner. In Ruaha, we have the freedom to explore these diverse tracts of habitat.

Immersed in the Serengeti

We could not recommend coming here more. The guides are so knowledgeable, the food is incredible, and the atmosphere is calm and serene. It’s the perfect place to go to really feel immersed in the Serengeti.

FAQs

Do lodges offer honeymoon packages or upgrades?

Many do, yes - private dinners, spa treatments or surprise sundowners that add thoughtful moments to the trip. Occasionally, there are discounts for one spouse and it can be worth researching.

How much does a safari cost?

The cost of a safari does vary, from simple bush camps or tented camps to high-end luxury or private houses. In Tanzania, there is a wide spectrum of accommodation allowing travellers to mix and match, building tailormade itineraries to suit a budget. Specialist tour operators are able to advise on the best options for your budget. Included in the safari cost is access to the wild, expert guides and unique experiences.

Do I need a visa to travel to Tanzania?

Not all travellers into Tanzania require a visa. You must have a single entry tourist visa or business visa, is the general rule but there are country exemptions from this. On the most part, single entry or business visas can be obtained on arrival but we recommend where possible, to process the visa online ahead of travel - just make sure you allow enough time to do so!

What is the luggage weight limit for internal Tanzanian flights?

Usually it is 15kg per person in a soft-sided bag. This is not a hard and fast rule so do check with your tour operator or aviation company. These are small bush planes, and is a good way of making sure you pack light.

How much driving is involved in a Tanzania Safari?

The driving distances on a Tanzania safari can vary depending on the area you are visiting and also your appetite for driving. Northern Tanzania allows for a full driving circuit with National Parks within reasonable distances. We love to drive when we can as we believe it allows for an exciting adventure through towns and villages and you learn so much about Tanzania and its wonderful people.

Are there age restrictions for safaris?

Yes, some camps have minimum age limits, in camp and especially on walking safaris. But there are many brilliant private or family properties that can tailor the age restrictions.

What is the typical food when on safari?

Fresh, locally sourced, and surprisingly varied given the remote locations of some camps. Imagine homemade bread, seasonal veg, cooking with delicious Swahili spices. All accompanied by far-stretching views or enjoyed under a shady tree.

What vaccinations or health precautions do I need?

Yellow Fever vaccinations are required if you are arriving from endemic countries. Other recommended vaccinations include tetanus, diptheria, polio, hepatitis A and typhoid. You will also need to consider hepatitis B and malaria prevention medicines. In all cases, you must seek advice from your medical professional.
