Southern Tanzania
A safari spent between the game rich plains of Ruaha National Park, and the endless wilderness of Nyerere National Park is pretty hard to beat. By 4x4, by boat, on foot or in a flycamp, it is freedom like no where else in Tanzania.
Heading out into the immese vastness of the Nyerere National Park or Ruaha National Park in our custom built safari cars is a thrill best experienced first hand. These areas are some of the largest conserved tracts of land in Africa and it matters hugely to us that you get to see the best of them. In Southern Tanzania we like to get right out there. To creep carefully through paths in the thick riverine bush to emerge - unseen - in magical secluded flood plains. More often than not there are treats in store; vast flocks of great white pelicans fishing in dwindling pools, wallowing families of elephant socialising, prides of lion sleeping off a meal.
Othertimes we float on the river by boat in Nyerere, or let the game come to you in Ruaha. Be it breakfast on a sand bank down river from Sand Rivers or Kiba Point, watching elusive monkey-hunting crowned eagles, and listening to shrill cries of hyraxes as you dangle a hook in the water. Or, sat on your veranda at Kigelia watching elephants digging through the sand for water in the dry river bed below your tent. All in all, days in Southern Tanzania aren't about box ticking, or endless driving in search of the next animal. It's a sense of gradual absorption in this corner of the natural world that we'd love you to feel.

This is to South Africa’s Kruger Park what most safaris are to Whipsnade Zoo.

Safari game drives are commonplace on the continent, but few do them like Nomad. Its camps are not only located in some of the most far flung corners of the country, but are a mix of permanent sites, removable tents that disappear with the seasons, and mobile camps that mirror migration routes.

The majority of safari camps and safari lodges are not set up for young children, but this exclusive-use sister property to the eight-room Lamai Serengeti was designed especially for them: there are two fenced-off pools (including one for infants and toddlers), the staff cook to order and game drives are when it suits.
