How we stumbled upon Katavi

One day, when flying low over a stretch of wilderness, Nomad founders Roland and Zoe Purcell, spotted a seemingly endless herd of buffalo and so they landed nearby. Setting up camp for the night on the edge of the vast Chada plain, allowing them to explore. And the rest is history as they say.

Phenomenal Accommodations

One of the best ways to experience Ngorongoro as the accommodations are phenomenal and the ability to beat the crowds in to the park is more than worth it. Can’t think of a better way to experience this part of Tanzania.
