SERENGETI SAFARI CAMP - The Serengeti Safari Camp ‘moves’ according  to the season and the path of the migration.  Accommodation for a maximum of 8 is  provided in traditional luxury tents, each with verandah and en-suite facilities.  Meals are served al fresco or in the large mess tent.  Each set of clients has their own private guide and vehicle at their disposal  for the duration of their
stay. The camp is sited in an area that has the greatest concentration of game or good access to that game at the time of the safari with every possible comfort in the depths of the African bush. The choice of area is dependent on weather patterns, with the resultant game movements, all of which can vary in the Serengeti from one year to the next.  The flexibility of this camp gives guests the best possible opportunities for game-viewing probably in Africa as a whole.

 

 




Loliondo Safari Camp has been created to compliment the Serengeti Safari Camp. Similar in design and concept, it operates within the Maasai concession area on the eastern periphery of the Serengeti National Park. Whilst the landscape and game is stunning, the emphasis is very much on cultural interaction with the Maasai.

Here, outside the park boundary you have the opportunity to do walking safaris and night-drives. On foot this amazing landscape offers a completely different viewpoint. The Loliondo Safari Camps moves seasonally as weather and game conditions dictate. A safari linking Loliondo Safari Camp and Serengeti Safari Camp offers the ultimate Serengeti experience.
 

Nomad Tarangire Camp   is Nomad Tanzania's newest camp, opening in August 2006.   

Nomad Mobile Safaris move with their own safari crew. While you spend your day roaming across Africa with your private guide -on wheels or on foot - the camp is moved on, raised for the night in yet another  amazing landscape.  Camp locations varies constantly, from the Gol Mountains and the Empakai Crater to Ol Kerian Gorge.  


The 'pack and go' nature of this mobile camp means that you can move at the drop of a hat. Adventure, great wildlife, remote areas, and versatility are the highlights of this style of safari. They are well equipped, but light and simple, limiting the need for heavy transport. This means they move faster and further, so you get to the hidden places, though still in relative luxury.

Each camp site is set up in advance by a team of highly trained staff.  The camp   sites are chosen for their beauty and remoteness.  The camps are transported by a specially adapted truck, equipped with extra fuel and water tanks, generator and fridge/freezer. The ‘Meru’ sleeping tents are completely enclosed and contain full size metal beds, complete with high density mattresses and the  finest bed linen, dressing tables, a safari  wardrobe, luggage racks and safari chairs. At  the back is an en-suite bathroom with long-drop loo and bucket shower.  At the front of each tent there is a large verandah with a   table and two traditional safari chairs. There is a large ‘mess tent’, as well as a fully-stocked complimentary bar and  small library of African books.  The cuisine is of the highest standard with innovative menus using fresh fruit and vegetables on fine china and glassware, with bush breakfasts and picnics adding variety. Romantic sundowners lead to candlelit dinners served under the stars or in the dining tent, accompanied by fine South African and European wines and liqueurs.

Southern Tanzania - Selous National Park  The 45,000 square kilometre Selous  Reserve in  Southern Tanzania  covers five percent of that country's land surface. It is the largest watered game reserve in  Africa ; it is home to more elephant (57,000); more hippo (40,000); more African wild hunting dogs (1,300); more Cape buffalo (110,000) and more crocodiles than any other park on the continent. With access limited to small airplane service from  Dar es Salaam, and with virtually no improvements, it is utterly wild. The entire reserve sees maybe 5,000 tourists a year, and it is as close to old Africa as you'll find anywhere on the continent.  Safari opportunities include:
  • Sand Rivers Selous -  One of Africa's most famous lodges, built in 1994, the lodge's 8 stone and thatch cottages hold stunning views of the Rufiji River, and lonely game drives in this untraveled wilderness are done by open vehicle, boat and foot--indeed, the freedom of the wilderness is the rule here, and a client's imagination about the only limitation.
  • Bonham Camp, Selous- A private tented camp on the Rufiji and base for walking safaris in the Selous. This is comfortable bush camping, catering for a maximum of six guests, with the focus on privacy & walking. Open June to October.
  • Nomad Selous Walks - Adventurous Walking Safaris, offering one of the most authentic wilderness experiences in Africa. A 5 night itinerary that takes in the wonderfully diverse ecosystems of thick riverine forests, woodlands, gorges, open grasslands, lakes, hot springs and meandering sand rivers. Superb guiding and maximum of 6 people per walk. Scheduled departures start every Monday. Private departures can be arranged. June to October.

Western Tanzania 
  • Greystoke at Mahale Mountains National Park, also known as Mahale Mountain Tented Camp or Roland's Camp,  is one of Africa's  most exclusive small camps in  Africa  lies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika , and is reached by small airplane.  The camp holds 10 and is located on a white-sand beach, the rival of any in the Caribbean on the edge of 80-degree, drinkably pure water. Behind camp, in the lush forests of the Mahale Mountains, reside the largest concentration of eastern chimpanzee in the world--one troupe has over 80 members. Purcell also operates a small permanent camp in Katavi National Park, an as-yet undiscovered wilderness, awash in plains game and elephant, just over the Mahale Mountains. Access to Mahale and Katavi is only by air, but Nomad Safaris (see above) runs its own airline—Tanganyika Flying Company—which, through its Cessna 206’s—offers regular service between Mahale or Katavi, and Arusha, on Mondays and Thursdays.In 2003 (2004 rates will be available soon),
  • Chada at Katavi - also known as Zoe's Camp - an exclusive experience in what is arguably Africa's most remote and least visited national park
