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 form
ed: 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.

One of our lesser-known activities, the Rhino Walk located in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch is a tour highlight that allows for travellers to get up close and personal with these endangered creatures. Spaces are limited, but the ranch offers other activities and creatures to discover.

You know about the Gorillas, but do you know we also arrange Golden Monkey Trekking?
Listed as Endangered, these rare monkeys spend their days hanging around bamboo forests in the Virunga Mountains. Sleeping on the canopies of bamboo plants at night, Golden Monkeys will feed on bamboo leaves and shoots in the day, unless the season is right and fruit is available.
Want to meet these gorgeous, wily creatures? Send us a DM to travel to Rwanda, where we can plan and take you on a journey for this popular activity!

A fan favourite and bucket list item, a hot air balloon safari gives you an arial view of areas (and animals 👀) that vehicles can't reach. It is as amazing as it sounds - especially when the sun begins to set. We offer these as an optional on our Tanzanian tours, which gives an extensive view of the Great Migration, however there are options if you want to sail above the savannah elsewhere.
