Travel Map

Day 1:  Arusha - Northern Serengeti

Accommodation: Lamai Serengeti

Morning flight from Arusha to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti. Met by your Nomad car and guide for a short game drive to Lamai - almost invisible from the plains but commanding endless views across this beautiful landscape.  S...

Day 2: Northern Serengeti

Accommodation: Lamai Serengeti

After an early breakfast, head out with your Nomad guide to make the most of the day.  At this time of the year, there's a strong possibility that the migration is in the area so you'll be out in search of the herds. Whether they ...

Day 3: Northern Serengeti

Dominated by the Mara River, groaning with crocs and hippos, this area is great for elephant, big herds buffalo, lion, cheetah as well as leopard in the many kopjes that make this landscape so distinctive. Also look out for small Oribi which thrives in this area, but is otherwise extremely scarce in northern Tanzania generally.

Day 4: Serengeti – Selous

Accommodation: Sand Rivers Selous

Catch the morning flight from here via Arusha, to the Selous landing at our Kiba airstrip in the afternoon (stops at other airstrips along the way are expected). Settle in to your open-fronted room on the banks of the Rufiji Ri...

Day 5: Selous Game Reserve

Accommodation: Sand Rivers Selous

Head out in the cool of the early morning and take a walk along the riverine forest; have a cook-out breakfast en route. After lunch we'd suggest a short game drive out towards the hide, where you can hang out and watch the game undisturbed.

Day 6: Selous Game Reserve

After breakfast in camp, take a game drive further out into the reserve, perhaps pausing for a picnic in one of our favourite spots. Head back to camp in the afternoon for a siest and a swim before a sundowner on the deck.

Day 7: Selous Game Reserve

Accommodation: Sand Rivers Selous

An early start with tea served in your room, before hopping on a boat for a zip up the river to Stiegler's Gorge.  As the scenery changes dramatically, you find a sand bar in the river to enjoy a picnic breakfast, eyes trained ...

Day 8: Selous - Dar es Salaam

A gentle wake up this morning with the sun over the river.  Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and perhaps a last dip in the pool before heading for a short game drive to the airstip to catch your scheduled flight to Dar es Salaam and home.

Our Safari guides, who had all been with the company for 10, 15 even 20 years, always had the best interest of animals (and safety of guests) in mind. The close enco...

View Profile

Nomad Tanzania is one of East Africa's original safari companies. For the past 20 years we’ve owned and operated our outstanding small safari camps in three of the remotest corners of Tanzania. Over the years we’ve built a reputation for quality that we're proud of.

Our founders were the pioneers in remote parts of the country that few people had heard of at the time, and fewer still had visited. Today, thanks to their efforts, it's no exaggeration to say that our small safari camps, many of which were the first of their kind in their respective areas, occupy some of the most coveted locations in the whole of Africa.

Whilst our camps are a great source of pride to us, our motivation goes far deeper than simply providing places to stay. We're a close group of individuals with a deep love of the African bush and a passion for sharing it with those who also share our interests. We have a superb team of safari guides, many of whom have been with us for almost 15 years; their knowledge and dedication is a major part of what Nomad is about.
