Our northern safaris will take you deep into the epic wilderness of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, off the tourist trail, into extraordinary wildlife areas not to be missed.

Western Tanzania

A safari in Tanzania of extraordinary contrasts. Two of the most iconic parks in Africa the remote Katavi and our chimpanzee cousins in Mahale.

Southern Tanzania

This is all about experience. A Tanzania safari spent in the game rich plains of Ruaha and the endless wilderness of Nyerere, the south is hard to beat.

Open from June to end October, it offers a changing wildlife spectacle as the Kakuma River dries up, the plains turn gold, and the remaining pools become increasingly contested by the huge numbers of hippos, while crocs hunker down in riverbank caves. 

Since working with Nomad my farm has doubled in size and I take pride in providing fresh produce to Greystoke.

Sweet dreams are indeed made of this.

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

You might say the 20-year-old Nomad Tanzania knows this corner of the world more intimately than most—which might explain how their next venture is the first to secure a previously untapped viewpoint. Six canvas bungalows, lined up along the Ngorongoro Crater Rim, feature unprecedented vistas of both the crater floor sunrises and Serengeti sunsets.
