Guides

Unlocking memories you’ll cherish for the rest of your life, our expert guides draw on an unmatched understanding of the landscape, wildlife and subtlest seasonal change.

The majority of safari camps and 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.

This internship between Nomad and the Hope Centre is very good, it is helping these girls stand for themselves.

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

The Mahale Mountains in western Tanzania are famous for their chimps: there are some 800 of them here, around 75 of them habituated. Guests at this spectacular beach lodge on Lake Tanganyika are likely to spot other primate species, too, including red colobus, red-tailed monkeys and vervets. 

Sweet dreams are indeed made of this.
