"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
We enjoyed excellent meals in the bush and at the lodge. Edwin was our guide and he exceeded all our safari expectations! Edwin also showed us a Mara River Wildebeest crossing.
Kanaeli, NOMAD manager was instrumental in securing the next driver for us who turned out to be Edwin!
We were pleasantly surprised to have wifi at all locations which I failed to include earlier!
We again mastered the bucket shower and enjoyed the Serengeti sunrise over the veranda!" See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania
"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Our tent had plenty of space and the cleaner did a great job keeping it pristine. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was adequate - the arrangements for the bucket shower worked very well, with ample hot water. Sleeping surrounded by wildebeest is an acquired skill, but we felt very privileged to have the experience.
The food was excellent. Breakfast out in the bush was always enjoyable, with plenty of choice and great care taken to lay it all on the table. The buffet lunch offered lots of delicious dishes, even on the day when we were the only ones there. We liked having our own table for dinner, and that there was a friendly formality about it, so it felt like being in a good quality restaurant. The food was innovative and we enjoyed exploring it. We particularly appreciated having lots of different vegetables. The included drinks and wine were good. (Please carry on scrolling)
FEEDBACK ON SERENGETI SAFARI
Rating : Excellent in all aspects
The three days we spent with our guide, Rem, were very enjoyable. He is a very amiable and professional person, and he shares our preference for solitude. It was rare to see another vehicle other than in passing.
The first day he concentrated on making sure we saw plenty of wildlife, which was great. Naturally we saw more wildebeest and zebras than ever before - plenty to keep us happy. We also had many other sightings including: a leopard in a tree; lions climbing the tree in a failed attempt to reach it (first the female and then the male, who momentarily got stuck); a big herd of elephants; many crocodiles and hippos in the river and lining the bank; giraffes; warthogs wallowing in mud; and lots of antelopes, some of which ie oribi and Thompson's gazelle we had not seen before. Another new sighting was a Serval.
Over the next two days there was more emphasis on enjoying the vast landscape with its wonderful vistas and ever changing colours. We did two different big loops, which barely overlapped and which gave contrasting experiences. The views were stunning, and to have breakfast looking at them was something we will long remember.
Needless to say , we still accumulated many more wildlife sightings. We were intrigued by the way the wildebeest organised themselves into long lines, often in single file, with one group going in one direction and another going in a completely different direction. Others seemed happy just to stay put.
The evening drives were a lovely way to end the day and again provided good sightings. Particularly memorable was watching a family of Klipspringers, climbing an almost sheer rock with ease; and seeing a lioness with five cubs on a big granite outcrop - fabulous.
All in all a great three days in very different scenery from what we have experienced on other trips to Africa. Many thanks to Rem, who was so patient while I took all my photos." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda
"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
The location is unparalleled, offering daytime views of wildebeest, zebras, and giraffes, while at night, you can hear these animals approaching the tent. The tent itself is super clean and well-organized.
The staff provide a level of service comparable to that of a 5-star hotel, and the food is excellent.
The guide was outstanding, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the area, its wildlife, and vegetation. Thanks to him, we also experienced a walking safari, offering a unique perspective of the savannah. We also engaged in meaningful discussions about Tanzania, its people, and the ongoing efforts to balance improving quality of life with preserving the country’s extraordinary wildlife."

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Our guide, Emmanuel Elias, was outstanding. He worked hard to ensure that our game drives were very enjoyable. We saw all of the wildlife that we had hoped too see, any many more besides, including a great variety of bird life. We really appreciated his knowledge and understanding of the Serengeti and his willingness to answer many questions. It was a truly memorable experience.
One minor criticism: we were advised that mosquito nets were not necessary at night. However, one of us was bitten several times at night." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Over the course of three days our friendship developed and we had many wonderful conversations about animals, culture, Tanzania, and family. We laughed and were eternally grateful for his patience in leading us to my lost phone at a lion kill!
Emmanuel was clearly an experienced guide w/ a plethora of knowledge about animals in the Serengeti (and other locations throughout Tanzania) and their behavior. He persevered in locating specific sightings with us and worked w/ his colleagues to provide as many rich and diverse viewings as possible. We always felt safe and comfortable with Emmanuel and a genuine respect for the wildlife was always evident.
The staff at the camp was fabulous! Such kind and attentive people were a wonderful introduction to our adventure. Truth be told…it was hard to remember names, but everyone was patient with us. Our escort, Tutu, was a very special man who despite speaking almost no English, was so enjoyable to spend our brief travels to and from our tent with. We taught each other Swahili and English terms for ‘slowly, slowly’ and ‘chop, chop’! This brought laughter between two people despite a language barrier!
The accommodations were fabulous! The tent was very luxurious and the shower experience such a treat! Having someone tend to your hot shower outside your tent by filling buckets with hot water then giving you the signal to open the shower valve by pulling two chains was so authentically rustic, but invaluable to the ‘mobile theme’ of this type of camp."

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Incredible food at this camp, especially the lunches which we found fresh and zingy and absolutely delicious every day of our stay. Olias and his team were friendly and hospitable (especially Goodluck who always seemed to know when my husband needed a top up of wine or a cheeky whisky nightcap).
The game viewing was exceptional at the time of year we stayed (early October) and we were lucky with a river crossing and several leopard sightings." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
