"Excellent camp location with nice staffs"
The communal area is at the centre with tents at both sides. Staffs are attentive as well as kind and knowledgable. The guide is excellent, very knowlegeable and Professional. The guide asked for our interest and do the best he can to fullfil it.
Our main aim for the stay is to watch the grand migration which we did. As a bonus, we also saw the black rhino and a pair of cheetah. Excellent game viewing !" See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda
"Beautiful camp in the middle of the migration"
The camp takes glamping to another level with luxurious tents, great facilities, fresh linens and a welcoming mess tent, with fully stocked bar and a great place to gather after an evening drive.
The food was delicious and fresh - every meal a treat and with amazing variety considering the location." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania
"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Tents here are fairly basic as they have to be moveable; to quote manager Joseph ‘you have everything you need but nothing you don’t’. Beds are comfortable, towels fluffy and the eco – loo fine for a few days. Water for the bucket shower arrives just the right temperature and the quantity is fine. Be prepared to be awoken by the chomping of zebras outside the tent and the occasional swish of a tail against the canvas. The camp aims not to disturb the environment but we did think it might be a good idea to remove the zebra droppings from the path to the tents, especially as you have to negotiate it by torchlight.
Paul was a pleasant guide with excellent spotting skills. We had excellent cheetah viewings, at one of which we were the only vehicle. Despite knowing we were interested in birds we stopped for few and there was little attempt at detailed identification. However, when we found a baby wildebeest stuck in some mud he did get out and rescue it which endeared him to us!
Food here was OK but nothing special – the best thing was some fish cakes we had for lunch one day. An exception to this was the bush breakfasts which were excellent – bacon and egg sandwiches, good meaty sausages, cereal, muesli, fruit etc. Yes, the food is coming from a bush kitchen but we have enough experience of Africa to know what CAN be produced under these circumstances and it can be a lot better than what we got here.
On our last night we were the only guests in camp. However some senior managers from Nomad were visiting. Most of these were polite and introduced themselves. Mark made a point of sitting at the fire with us and discussing our experiences in Africa and our views of the camp. He also made a point of coming to say goodbye as we were leaving for our drive the following morning. However the Operations Director, Serena, turned her back on us as we arrived for pre-dinner drinks, did not introduce herself, made a point of wishing the manager goodnight and totally ignoring the fact that we were sitting at a table with him and generally behaved as if we were beneath her notice. We found this disdain for the guests whose money pays her salary an absolute disgrace. Subsequently we discovered that Nomad’s website describes her as ‘a people person’!!!!!"

"Loved Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp!"
The tent was awesome (although Mom was a bit worried about security from animals and I do wonder if there are ever issues), the food was great, and the wildlife was absolutely outstanding." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia; 3n in Tanzania
"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp"
Philip was another exceptional guide who took us on some amazing game drives, notably to witness the migration of the wildebeest as they crossed the Mara river. We very appreciated his sense of humour, which took us in every now and again." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 8n in Zanzibar

"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Good game viewing trips across the Serengeti and exactly what is needed to get to the Mara River without too much of a drive and see the wilderbeast crossing. Also good sightings of most animals including lions, leopards, cheetah and also a back rhino and calf (if briefly).
Very good guide and knowledgable." See all these reviews: 15n in Tanzania
"Great experience at Nomad Safari Camp"
We were fortunate enough to experience the Serengeti from a hot air balloon and it's was an absolutely lovely perspective. Every day our safaris were exceptional and we always saw more than we ever expected partly thanks to Ally's keen eye." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda; 2n in Zanzibar

"Great Location at Nomad"
The service was extremely good and friendly, and the food was excellent. It was great sitting around the campfire each night.
We had a brilliant guide, called Godwin, who was very knowledgeable, and who we all enjoyed spending time with. We were extremely lucky in that the wildebeest migration was happening around us and we also saw so much game it made it all very special.
We were at the camp for Christmas and the management went out of their way to make this a special time for us. It was very much appreciated." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar
