Join The Journey Nomad’s story began over 25 years ago when Alex Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad, was fortunate enough to have conducted a trans-Africa expedition lasting almost a year. On that journey he encountered numerous companies offering trips to Africa. A void was noticed between strictly budget tours and the more upmarket operations. It was on that trip that the founding principle of Nomad was formed: Do it better and do it for less. In those days we had one truck, 2 employees and one departure a month. Over the years we’ve grown to a fleet of around 40 vehicles, 130 staff and 40 scheduled departures a month all over Africa. Our success rests on consistently maintaining high standards in all aspects of our operation, while still retaining the magic and passion that saw us grow so successfully. We have not forgotten the lessons learned in the early days. Still wholly independent, we remain owner-managed, ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day.

Stay here for as long as you need 🐘
If you need a longer elephant break than 28 seconds, then maybe its time to look at entering the Okavango Delta. Watching these unfathomably quiet giants is the fastest way to a nervous system reset.

Pick the tour style that suits you, how long you need and pack your things. The Delta awaits - bit.ly/BotswanaNomad

It's baffling how quickly "It's just another buck" can turn into hushed excitement. Brand new, this tiny newborn has no clue it has a group of humans enraptured.

Daily life in Africa's national parks is simply like this - surprises where you least expect them. This is why having sharp guides can make or break a safari experience.

Sometimes hiking to meet gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest isn't enough adrenaline. Water rafting, bungee jumping and sunset boat cruises is how we'd spend our free time in Uganda too.

Clearly, great minds think alike, Jake.

Remember to always check your optionals with your guides or consultants so you don't miss out.

The gasps, the kicks, the intensity.
The commentary had priceless reactions to these zebras going at it. That revenge kick is not something you see everyday.

Moremi Game Reserve is legendary for moments exactly like this. It's both a traveller and Nomad favourite. We have the many options if you have the interest 😉

One Route. Four Countries. 20 Days.

The iconic Cape Town to Victoria Falls route is a bestseller for a reason. An itinerary of contrasts, Namibia's sand stays with you (and your shoes) for years to come while Botswana's waterways bring a sense of wonder and calm you cannot find elsewhere. These dates include a mix of Explorer, Classic and Comfort departures.

Ticking off the Big Five is part skill, park luck & knowing exactly where to go.

Our latest blog narrows down the best national parks to put the odds in your favour. Between places such as Kruger's vast but wildlife dense areas to Ngorongoro Crater's condensed grassland with massive payoffs, there are plenty of options to choose from.

No one warns you that "Tell us about your trip" is a secret code.

Memories of Zanzibar's seasalt air, the Serengeti's grassland stretching to the horizon, picking your seat for the day on the truck - it takes you right back to the days of being on tour. You can leave East Africa behind, but it never really leaves you, does it?

There's a reason Victoria Falls to Nairobi continues to be a traveller's bucketlist item. Start planning to make your memories - bit.ly/FBNomNAVN

🗣️"I just finished my 12 day trip north from Cape Town to Windhoek and I couldn't recommend this company enough. I will say that so much of the credit goes to our wonderful guide/cook Gabriel 'JoJo' and driver View. These two really have demanding jobs, from sunrise to sunset or later, with very little rest periods and large groups of travelers that may or may not get on well.

Thankfully, our group was like a happy family from day one. Yes, there are long drives between points, but frequent stops to use the toilets, buy snacks, take photos or stretch our legs helped pass the time.

The trucks were well equipped with a water filter, sun screens/curtains, a cooler stocked with ice, USB charging ports, and we rotated seating rows daily.

I chose the camping option and was pleased with the spacious tents, ease at setting them up, comfortable sleeping mats, and really well-equipped campgrounds. The accommodated passengers were always very happy as well.

To comment on the food - we always had enough for second helpings, and the meals were super tasty and variable. Jojo is a phenomenal cook and no one had any complaints. In fact, when we had long restaurant wait times and mediocre meals, we joked that we'd prefer his cooking.

It was my first time on a camping trip, and as a solo female traveler on the African continent for the first time, I felt safe and very well taken care of. The group members were a mix from 23 years old to 74 years old, and from 5 different countries, with various native languages. We had 18 in our group, 11 women and 7 men. We really did get along like family and this trip was a lovely experience for me. I was very sad to leave today.

Overall, the mix of relaxation, built in and optional activities, travel days, meals, etc, was perfect in my opinion, and I certainly will pass on the good word about Nomad. Thank you to Jojo and View again for their professionalism, kindness, and humor, and I hope to return for another Nomad trip in the future."
