Nomad’s story began over 25 years ago when Alex Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad, was fortunate enough to have conducted a trans-Africa expedition lasting almost a year. On that journey he encountered numerous companies offering trips to Africa. A void was noticed between strictly budget tours and the more upmarket operations. It was on that trip that the founding principle of Nomad was form

ed: Do it better and do it for less. In those days we had one truck, 2 employees and one departure a month. Over the years we’ve grown to a fleet of around 40 vehicles, 130 staff and 40 scheduled departures a month all over Africa. Our success rests on consistently maintaining high standards in all aspects of our operation, while still retaining the magic and passion that saw us grow so successfully. We have not forgotten the lessons learned in the early days. Still wholly independent, we remain owner-managed, ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day.

Can you hear the rumble of thousands of hooves?

No where else in the world will you find a herd of two million strong traversing land and river to follow annual rainfall. Every year, The Great Migration has wildebeest and numerous other species migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. In search of the new grass growth, the mass of prey draws out every predatory threat.

Did you know that Tanzania produces some of the rarest & most sought after coffee beans? Amongst coffee enthusiasts, Tanzania holds a special place - mainly with their Peabody beans. Only around 4-6% of coffee beans worldwide are this type, which is said to have a brighter and more complex flavour profile with a natural sweetness. Tanzania's is famed to be the strongest & brightest flavour of these already rare beans.

This is a must experience for any coffee aficionado- and is a delightful activity for the more casual drinkers. You'll be walked through the process from seed till cup, and learn all about the intricacies of different tastes & types of coffee.

Grab a spot on one of our Tanzanian trips if this makes your heart race (if it isn't the caffeine)

Exploring Zanzibar is more than just white sands and stunning beaches. Despite the rustic nature of the island, there is wonderfully intricate architecture and layers of history hiding down its many alleyways... like the famous 'Zanzibar' doors! Which are exquisitely carved masterpieces found throughout Stone Town on Zanzibar Island.

These historic doors, dating back over a century, are a captivating sight to behold during tours of Stone Town. Let us guide you around Stone Town's past and make the most of its scenic views.

Surprised to see a brown & white zebra? Well, this little one is still growing into their signature stripes.

This baby is under 6 months old, and its stripes will darken into black as it passes that milestone. These stripes are the baby's "fingerprint" and are unique to this individual, as they are to all zebras.

Currently on tour with us in East Africa? Keep an eye out for foals as most births typical occur between January and March in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area in Tanzania.

How cute is this moment between a mother and baby Vervet monkey?🐵

Known to be mischievous and far too clever for their own good, Vervet Monkeys are a common species throughout Eastern and Southern Africa.

Typically, mothers will only birth one baby. The one in this photo would be less than six months old. Why? Because, at six months old, this tiny one will move from mom's milk to an omnivorous diet. And while they'll eat all sorts of food like nuts, leaves, berries, lizards and bird eggs, they will have two favourites: Flowers and fruit.

Unfortunately for them, these are seasonal and will serve as delicious treats in the abundant spring.

Have you ever witnessed the magic of a river coming to life in the heart of the desert?

The image of Namibia in most people’s minds is a classic depiction of arid land with red sand dunes stretching towards the horizon. However, despite the harsh climate, Namibia does have a rainy season – something our guests witnessed first-hand during a recent Cape Town to Victoria Falls trip.

If you thought leopards were hard to spot on safari, cheetahs' coats blend perfectly with the savannah grasslands. Found throughout Africa, catching a glimpse of this vulnerable species in its natural habitat is a superb and rare sighting.

While females tend to roam alone, male cheetahs form groups that defend a territory and enhance their hunting success. If you're lucky, you might see groups of male cheetahs, siblings, or a mother and her cubs traveling together. The best places to see them while on a Nomad safari are on vast plains of Tanzania and Kenya, or in the early mornings or late afternoons in Botswana and South Africa, or under the shade of trees during the heat of the day in Namibia.

What is your favorite big cat you'd like to see on safari?

Buffalo are known for three things - their horns, their size and their temperament. While their appearance is similar to that of cows, do not be mistaken to take these majestic creatures lightly! They are apart of the Big Five for a reason - the horns crowning their head & a bad temper.

🗣"Africa was the last stage of my journey. For 30 days we traveled over 9200 km. We visited South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia I learned to set up a tent and sleep in it even during a storm. I flew a helicopter over Victoria Falls, an airplane over the Okavango Delta and the Namib Desert ⛈️ I had a close encounter with a lion in the morning and tried to take a selfie with a giraffe. I stroked a cheetah and tracked a rhino🐆🦏🦁🦒 I envied hippos and an elephant splashing in the water while the African sun was scorching. I slid my ass down Dune 45 and climbed another dune in Death Valley. I climbed Lions Head at sunrise. I admired our truck, which was my home, African landscapes, endless desert, green forests, bush... Yes, Africa is not only deserts. Although the roads there can be arduous at times, it is beautiful in itself. Even our truck succumbed to its charm and we buried ourselves in the sand. Yes, sometimes it was hard, long drives, heat, short nights, but under a starry sky... is it worth it? For sure. Go see for yourself 🤩" #OnTourTuesday from @kasia_lata_dookola_swiata #SoloTraveller #NomadAfrica #JoinTheJourney #SmallGroupTours #SoloTraveller #NomadAfricaTravel

Leopards are famously elusive, making this sighting in Queen Elizabeth National Park even more special. Camouflaged in the dense wilderness, this magnificent cat briefly emerged, offering a rare and unforgettable moment on safari. #OnTourThursday #OnTourMoments #NomadAfrica #J#JoinTheJourney 🎥 @denny.waves

Gorilla Experience - Bwindi National Park, Uganda

An incredible gorilla experience in Bwindi National Park, Uganda* 🎥 @mblair721 #OnTourThursday *eco-tourism is pivotal in maintaining protected areas for gorillas to thrive. Without the draw of gorilla trekking, the fate of these gorillas would likely be sealed by poachers. The management of these protective parks has been meticulous, especially in terms of facilitating interactions between tourists and the gorillas. For instance, the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to 18 habituated gorilla families. Each family is assigned a maximum of 8 visitors daily, and each visit lasts no longer than an hour. This structured approach ensures minimal disturbance to the gorillas' lifestyle while encouraging a responsible form of tourism. The economic dimension of this operation is crucial too. The revenue from permits serves as a consistent income source for park rangers, enabling them to maintain the Bwindi Forest and shield the gorilla families from various threats. This symbiotic relationship between eco-tourism and conservation efforts ensures not only the safety of the gorillas but also the preservation of the Bwindi Forest.
