Head into the Crater soon after dawn, first in line from Entamanu, to experience a safari like no other - outstanding volumes of wildlife against a stunning backdrop. You'll be guaranteed an unforgettable time on your game drive, and when the midday sun rises high and the Crater is at its busiest, why not escape to a private spot on the Crater rim overlooking the vast caldera?
Give us the nod ahead of time and your guide will about turn to your private picnic spot where you'll be greeted with cold beers and soft refreshments. You've nowhere to be, there's no around - just enjoy a delicious lunch regaling safari tales of your morning sightings.
As you sit atop what feels like the roof of the world, perhaps a chilled glass of wine in hand, it’s easy to imagine you could be the first person to discover this extraordinary place. Looking down into the Crater floor, where everything appears ant-like and far away, you really feel as if you’re the only one here. Pure bliss!
Take an epic amble along the edge of one of the wonders the world back to camp; spot game from above, and see through the eyes of your Maasai guide whose backyard this is. You'll be out of the car with your guide, in the sparkling highland air, adding yet another 'must do' experience to your stay at Entamanu.
A string of camps in some of the wildest places on the planet. A front row seat to the best wildlife in Africa. Backstage is the engine room for opportunity.
For peak seasons, between 9 and 12 months ahead is wise. This can vary depending on the places and camp you'd like to visit with some filling up earlier. The best camps and guides are worth planning for.
Quiet, wild and wonderfully different. Enjoy your festive dinners under the stars with lion calls in the distance - what a gift for the family.
Absolutely. Wild, remote and deeply romantic. We believe a safari honeymoon strikes the perfect balance of adventure and calm. No two days are ever the same and what better way to kick off married life.
Always take a good pair of binoculars. And slow down. Take time to enjoy and area or the safari camps. There is sometimes nothing more special than spending the afternoon or early morning on your veranda and letting the wildlife come to you.
We advise against drinking the tap water in Tanzania and as such, we provide safe drinking water in all camps and vehicles so guests can remain well hydrated throughout their trip.
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.
The transport networks in Tanzania are very good with internal flight schedules across the country. It is possible to fly into the parks and land at one of the bush airstrips. From there, most lodges will arrange for a transfer journey from airstrip to the lodge. Depending on the lodge location, this can vary in journey time. Or, if you opt for a driving safari in northern Tanzania, your guide (included as standard with Nomad) will transport you from location to location.
It depends, some are short hops, others can be full-day journeys. Often, the journey is the experience and can become the ultimate game drive as you traverse different areas of National Parks.
