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 foundi

ng 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.

You have likely heard of the popular Boulder's Beach, featuring one of few endangered African Penguin colonies. However, there is another one, an hour and a half out of Cape Town, with several draw cards...

If you ask a local South African, they usually recommend this place over Boulders for these reasons:
- Quieter, with fewer crowds and more vantage points
- Cheaper entrance fee for both locals and international visitors.
- Located along the gorgeous Whale Coast route.
- Higher boardwalks for minimal invasiveness
- Plenty of other birdlife around the area

This location, one which we prefer to visit on tour, is Stony Point in Betty's Bay.

Watching these animals dip in and out of the water, clamber onto the stones and sun bathe on the rocks is a treat. To do so mindfully and knowing you are contributing to their conservation is the icing on the experience.

If you are interested in seeing South Africa for yourself, send us a DM and let us help you plan your dream.

Smiles are not limited to our travellers!

Travellers from around the world have said it themselves: Nomad's secret ingredient is our guides. Many have said that their experience of Africa would not have been the same without them.

Our guides may work hard, but when you love the countries and places you are sharing, it makes it easy to enjoy what you do. It helps that this enthusiasm is engrained in every element of our tours.

The scramble can be real! Booking accommodation, struggling with permits and trying to work out travel time pulls you away from the important part - the actual experience of travelling.

Remove the stress of outdated Google information and unmet expectations. Plan your African trip with us and relax on our small group tours & handcrafted private tours. We can't promise to control the weather or wind, however 🫣

🗣 "We just finished our 20 day trip north from Cape Town to Vic Falls 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.

Our group really bonded together from day 1 and JoJo was quick to call us a family as opposed to different nationalities. We were a group from all parts of the world.

There are long drives between points, but frequent stops to use the toilets, or as JoJo called them Bushy Bushy stops, buy snacks, take photos or stretch our legs helped pass the time.

The trucks were well equipped with a water filter, curtains, an esky stocked with ice that you could add your drinks too. Drinking on onboard was allowed. We also had USB charging points in each seat row.

We chose the accommodated options and some days I was so glad as it was hot and felt bad for the campers. Whether it be a lodge, hotel or glamping, us accommodated crew were looked after.

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. We were all asking for his delicious peanut paste cabbage recipe.

It was our first time visiting Africa and we were so glad we chose Nomad. Africa was a bucket list item for us so we were keen for a great memorable experience.

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 making the trip one to remember.
Would 1000% recommend Nomad."

Quiver tree forest is one of those quiet highlights. Travellers love walking between these surreal, geometric shapes of branches against Namibia's golden to fiery orange sunsets. Nomad guides bring to life the folktales and environment around these trees, making it a wonderful spot to reflect.
