Nomad - a fantastic experience

I am writing to thank you for what has been a fantastic experience, so well prepared that it definitely left us with a taste for Africa...
  
We were very impressed with the attention to detail, both from you and everyone at the camps where we stayed; I was particularly touched by the way Nomad Tanzania works with the local communities, helping them to maintain their way of life and at the same time improving it. We will certainly contribute to their projects.
  
Last but not the least a especial mention for our amazing guide Nathan, a great companion with a genuine love for nature and an infectious enthusiasm! It wouldn't have been the same without him.
  
Please forward a very big Thank You to everyone involved; I do hope that we can go back sometime soon...

Sand Rivers and others - the best trip

My ohh my!! That was absolutely the best trip of my entire life.
(Our life) It was such a great experience. We loved every minute.
Thank you so much for setting this up. We saw probably 40 species of
animals, not including the birds. Great people, food, accommodations.
So many little surprises along the way at every stop for our
honeymoon, which I know is because of you. We already miss being
there. Everyone needs to save up and go.

Nomad, guides and Sand Rivers - made the trip!

Halifa was fantastic.  He cottoned on very quickly to their needs, wants. He clearly had read our deatails, as had Sand Rivers Selous management which we like very much so they knew something about us before arrival.  ( not the case with the non Nomad properties)

His vehicle was always immac. Cleaned, Fridge for cold drinks, waste paper cleared each day…Attention to detail..excellent.

He didn’t falter even on a long day and was always ready when they wanted early starts.

Saw amazing wildlife in Crater; Hyena taking a wildebeest and a new born Buffalo. Leopard on the crater im road. Talked to the chief Vet at HQ..nice touch as she is an expert on horse breeding here in UK. Also as instructed went down into Serengeti area via Endulen.

Food top stuff in camps.  Loliondo was wet, no game but staff made up for it with surprise bush breakfasts etc.

Halifa made the trip…please send mingi asante sanas.

“Nomad use older guides with experience and such thought and attention to detail”

Sand Rivers Selous: also superb. Brilliant new management couple. Made them feel as if in a home. Good guide called Peter. Fly  Camp ...began to rain so canvas sheets put over their fly tents at 0400.good. Best food of the trip. Mike and Carol also nice with the staff which made for great atmosphere. Appreciated the suite upgrade ...thank you.

Sand Rivers Selous - Incredible

On to Sand Rivers ! Our stay there has been incredible, there is nothing that we could think of to make it any better !

We were met at the airstrip by our guide , went directly on a drive to see our fist giraffes, impalas… Fantastic !

Then we went to the lodge, met Mike and Carol the managers. Carol took us to our rooms, they were connecting and each had a bathroom. Beautiful. Everyone has been incredibly friendly; all the guides come and introduce themselves. It is all quite relaxed.

Everything that needed some attention in the room was taken care of within minutes.

Having dinner on one long table was lovely, our children have really enjoyed that part too. Nice to hear everyone’s stories ! The food was delicious, incredible variety considering the distance everything travels to get there ! I even had the surprise to have a chocolate birthday cake !

The level of service is fantastic.

We drove around quite a bit, had 2 river tours, a walking safari. We saw a lot. The fly camping will be a long lasting memory! All is so well organised and planned! We arrived just before sunset to a perfect seating by a lake with all the tents up and chairs out to have a ‘sundowner’ ! What a treat!

Chada & Greystoke - an amazing experience

I cannot say enough good things about our experiences at Chada and Greystoke.  The staff at both camps were amazing and our guides (Phillip at Chada and Kakae at Greystoke) were some of the very best we have ever had in Africa.  Many, many thanks to everyone at Nomad for such an amazing experience!!

Sand Rivers Selous - could not recommend it highly enough

Speaking for us both, we could not recommend Sand Rivers highly enough. It has a new managing couple, Mike and Carol, who were really warm, effective and down to earth. Our complimentary upgrade was very welcome indeed, though we had the use of a more typical room on our last morning and thought it was also excellent. (Ed claimed to prefer it!)

The fly-camping was a fantastic experience - a very de luxe campsite by a lakeside, with hippos tramping in and out - and one I'm sure lots of people would enjoy.
