Nomad - the perfect holiday

Just wanted to say thank you for arranging what proved to be the most incredible of holidays!  We really can't speak highly enough of Nomad and the unbelievable level of service they provide - the guys in the camp were the friendliest people imaginable and they produce food of a standard that shouldn't be possible from a camp kitchen out in the wilderness.  We were so sad to be leaving after 5 unforgettable days.

Our guide, Jacob, was also brilliant - extremely knowledgeable, eyes like a hawk and a really friendly and personable guy.  I think he enjoyed having the four of us and our relaxed banter as opposed to the usual couples as well!  We saw some truly amazing action, including a lioness kill, a leopard kill and the apparently rare sight of a baboon snatching a newborn reedbuck from its mother.  We saw two crossings (there seemed to be a lot of activity around the river while we were there) including one in a rarely used crossing spot where we were the lone jeep witnessing an hour long crossing - the biggest Jacob had seen in his 10 years as a guide.  We were very, very lucky to see so much but every day was special and just when we didn't think it could get better, it did!

 All in all it was the perfect holiday, so thank you again.
