WHAT DOES NOMAD DO?
Dear Fellow Travellers It is hard to imagine that this year we celebrate our 19th birthday. With more than 31 million kilometres behind us, over 9900 tours and close on 94 000 happy customers, it has been an incredible journey! For those of you catching up, or looking for your next Nomad Adventure, thank you, and if it is your first time looking at an unique African Adventure, we hope that you will go the Nomad way! As a company, we remain as passionate about Africa, as I was 20 years ago when I decided that this is what I want to do, I want to share Africa! I was driving a beaten up Landrover across Africa, and as my love for this amazing continent deepened, so did my desire to share it with anyone who is an adventurer at heart. So Nomad was formed. Every year we strive to do better, and this year is no exception. 2015 Came with its own set of challenges, but Nomad made it through and are continuing to move from strength to strength. We smashed a few more records, and are happy to report that we have added more new trucks and equipment to ensure that your adventure is the best it can be. With growth in our Operations department we have added even more emphasis on our guides, and know that we have some of the best guides in the business! We set our goals, and we achieved them! 2016 will be no different! We have added departures, refined our tours even more, will be growing our fleet and staff, all to ensure that we have another smashing year. We are confident that you will find the adventure that you are looking for, be it in comfort, or “roughing” it camping style, in our brochure, and when you join us, you will see why everyone at Nomad remains so passionate, and why people keep coming back to Africa. We live on a truly magical continent, filled with sights and wonders not be to experienced anywhere else in the world. Come with us, and see what it is all about. Turn the page. Start your adventure. See you on the road. Alex Rutherford Founder and Managing Director of Nomad Adventure Tours
TOURS AND SAFARIS Camping or Accommodated – What’s the difference? Our accommodated tours are here to fill the gap between a camping experience and an expensive lodge-tour while our camping tours allow you to have a truly African experience. On all of our tours (excluding the Cape Town to Victoria Falls and sections) we have both camping and accommodated guests travelling together. All meals are prepared at the truck, you have the same guides and the travel times are all the same so that literally is the only decision that you have to make – a bed or a tent. Camping gives you the freedom to build your own home every evening. We provide you with heavy duty canvas dome tents which are standing height (unless you’re over 6 foot) and approximately 2.5 x 2.5m across the base. On a camping tour, you need to provide your own pillow, sleeping bag and towel. The tents are easy to put up and have flexible self-supporting poles and there are no unnecessary pegs to fight with. There is a fly-sheet provided for rainy weather and a built-in mosquito net. We also provide everyone with a sleeping mattress. On Accommodated tours, you can expect 2 – 4 star twin / double accommodation and the majority of it is en-suite. In some places, we also make use of permanent safari tents
4
which are considered “accommodation”. The truck will remain in the area where the campers are. On camping tours, single supplements are optional however on accommodated tours, single supplements are compulsory if you are travelling on your own.
Small Group Tours Nomad is proud to be the only adventure tour operator to offer a “business class” option to our already well established and trusted variety of camping and accommodated tours. Imagine the feeling you get when you find that on your long haul flight, the seat next to you is empty and you get two seats to yourself and a window view… now imagine guaranteeing that on your multiple day adventure tour! Our small group tours have a maximum of 12 guests on board our 24 seater truck which means that there is more personalised attention, more space to move around the truck, two lockers, two seats and a window for everyone!
Tailormade Holidays and Group Packages Our specialised Tailormade department can pretty much cater to any requirement you may have and can assist you to put together the dream holiday of a lifetime, whatever your budget. Our extensive experience ensures we have access to a variety of options.
If you dream of having an authentic African adventure, a Nomad tour is one of the best ways to achieve it. We organise and plan everything for you, leaving you free to relax and really enjoy your African experience.
Day Tours Nomad also offers a carefully selected list of Day Tours in and around the major cities of Africa.
Group or Charter Tours Our experience and expertise throughout Africa allows Nomad to be able to create unique group tours for any number of travellers. We regularly do this for both private individuals and companies. For these tours we offer a range of transport options from our standard adventure trucks, to minivans, 4x4’s and even trains and planes. From 2 star to 5, we do it all. Contact us to find out how surprisingly affordable a private tour can be.
Dive Tours Nomad Adventure Tours and Lutwala Dive have combined efforts to create a selection of Southern African dive tours. This provides diving focused travellers with sensational diving tours whilst still taking in the land based highlights that Africa has to offer. Lutwala Dive brings PADI 5* IDC diving professionalism and extensive diving experience and training. This partnership results in both companies focusing on their strengths and providing guests with a truly once in a lifetime African dive safari. With all our tours you are looked after from the moment of departure to the moment the tour ends. Accommodation, travel, meals and diving organisation are taken care of, leaving you to simply relax and get the most from your African experience. With a wide selection of optional activities, non diving family members or partners can be kept entertained and divers have opportunities to immerse themselves in land based action as well as that under the water. With several tour options available ranging from a handful of days through to epic adventures, Nomad and Lutwala are sure you will find a tour that suits you. We are happy to tailor tours to suit specific needs or wants and will happily create a tour that meets your desired level of accommodation, travel and involvement.
OTHER SERVICES Pre and Post Tour Accommodation When starting or ending your tour, we always advise that you arrive the day before your tour is set to depart and leave the day after your tour ends. We can recommend and book a number of hotels for you. These properties are usually very close to our departure/end points and will make planning your trip a lot easier.
Airport Transfers We will also organise your airport transfers for you if you would like us to get you to or from your hotel, before or after your tour.
HOW DO ADVENTURE TOURS WORK?
Travelling with Nomad means friendship, fun and adventure plus the security that group travel brings. Our unrivalled experience in Africa also ensures your holiday is well planned to make the most of our spectacular continent. All Nomad adventures are ‘off the beaten track’ and the emphasis is on the journey, as well as the destination. Unexpected events are part of the package and often add to your real-Africa experience.
WHO SHOULD, AND DOES, GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOUR? In the past, groups tended to be very young as the majority of travellers to Africa were backpackers. As Africa has become a progressively more mainstream destination (Africa today is far more accessible than 17 years ago) our guests have also changed. 17 years ago the average age of our travellers was around 23-27 years old and now we have anyone from 8-80 years of age, travelling with us. The average age of our campers is approximately 20-45 and our accommodated guests vary between 30-60 years of age. However, these indications are very general as each and every tour is different and campers and accommodated guests travel together. Part of experiencing the tour is about meeting new people and what we can confirm is that 99% of our travellers find that they get along very well.
WHAT TO EXPECT? The days usually start early and end late, although a lot of time is spent travelling, we do cram a lot into every day. Expect some frustrations, you are in Africa and things don’t work that well sometimes. Coming on tour with an open mind, flexible attitude and realistic expectations will ensure you have a great time. An average day on tour begins around 6am and departure is after breakfast at around 7am. There are some mornings that need a very early start to reach our next destination, or to photograph a spectacular African sunrise – it’s all part of the adventure. Prepare yourself for the worst, especially in winter when days are shorter. We lose approximately 5 hours of daylight in winter so it may happen that you’re setting up your tent in the dark or that some optional activities are not available then. We usually take a lunch-break en-route and depending on the distance to be covered, afternoons are often spent relaxing or exploring the lay of the land. Usually every few days, we will spend a couple of nights at one venue to break the travel routine. Distances between highlights are often on a bigger scale than those at home, particularly in East Africa. Often there is absolutely nothing between focal points except vast open deserts. Most tours average approximately 450 km per day however there can be stretches of up to 600km in a single day and that’s a long way in a truck so be prepared. Our guides do all the cooking, however you are welcome to ask the guides if you are keen to share your culinary skills with the group. The more you get involved, the better the group experience and not doing your dishes is not a great way to make friends. Although we do most of the work, the nature of these tours is not that of a beach holiday. A little assistance from the group can make a real difference as it means that the guides have more time for you and more time to make the tour amazing so getting involved definitely enhances the tour experience. This is an adventure, not a holiday.
HOW TO DECIDE WHICH TOUR
image The Best Guides
Often people who are not experienced with Africa and/or Adventure tours find the amount of information and choices confusing. To simplify matters we suggest the following : Decide on whether you want to visit East or Southern Africa. Simply put, the South is ideal for first time visitors to Africa as it is generally an easier journey with better infrastructure, while East Africa requires a more “rough & ready” attitude. Check our highlights pages to help make your decision. Then decide between camping or accommodated options and finally, the duration of your trip. One week, two weeks, three weeks or longer. Although Nomad offers over 100 different tours by following these steps your choices will be reduced to around 6 or 7 options.
image The Best Trucks
WHAT’S INCLUDED, WHAT’S NOT, AND WHY? Let’s face it, there is no such thing as an ‘all-inclusive tour.’ There are always extra activities that you can do but at Nomad there are no hidden costs and you remain in control of your choices and finances.
image
What’s included? Transport in our specialised vehicles, the services of two qualified guides, meals, accommodation, specified activities and most National Park fees.
The Best Equipment
What’s not included? Visas, vaccinations, items of a personal nature, alcohol, drinks, bottled water, snacks, activity packages and optional activities.
WHAT IS THE ACTIVITY PACKAGE (AP) FOR? This is an optional additional payment that covers what we consider to be essential activities on our tours. Ideally, we would include all of these but not everyone can afford this. This payment is 100% transparent and is listed within the itinerary of the tour. If you cannot afford it, or do not want to do the AP, rest assured that your tour will remain uninterrupted and meals and the services of the guides will continue. All the itineraries in this brochure are written with the Activity Packages included.

Whether your party is made up of two or two hundred travellers, we’ll pull something special out of the bag, just for you! We encourage both our local South African families and international travellers to come and join us in exploring Africa. Going on that 4×4 holiday is always fun, but imagine if someone else was worrying about the food and the driving and you were left unencumbered to enjoy the company of your friends and family while actually admiring the scenery and relaxing into the holiday vibe? Those of you who have driven in Southern and East Africa will know what we mean, if you are not used to driving long distances off road you are often left too tired to enjoy the company of your loved ones at the end of the day. This is when travelling with Nomad makes all the difference.
Being based in Africa, Nomad has access to many other tours on this wonderful continent. Some are best explored with a specialist local operator, so we have included a few ideas below, but if there is a destination you have always wanted to explore please contact us and we can look into it for you. Africa has so many incredible place to explore.
SOUTH AFRICAN DIVE SAFARI You have probably watched Shark Week on TV somewhere in the world and you may be aware that if you want to dive with Sharks then Southern Africa is the best place to be. Between Mozambique and South Africa is a section of Indian Ocean that is home to some of the world’s most accessible and reliable pelagic populations. Whale Sharks and Mantas make their home off Praia do Tofo off the Mozambique coast. In addition to seeing these magnificent animals in the wild there is some amazing research being conducted on both Whale Sharks and Mantas in this area and we can include a visit to the research centre so you can learn more. Further south in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, there are large populations of sharks. Bull (Zambezi), Tiger, Grey Nurse (Ragged-tooth), Hammerheads, White Tip and Black Tip Reef Sharks all congregate along the coast near Protea Banks and Aliwal Shoal.
image Manta Ray
At Africa’s most southern point the Great White Sharks hunt the Cape Fur Seal and migrate through Shark Alley near Gansbaai. Although you can only cage dive with these beauties the experience of seeing one up close is really one you will remember. In addition to the Great White the Seven Gilled Cow Shark is also found in False Bay and Hermanus is home to many migratory whales.
image
Our Shark Safaris combine some of the best and most exciting diving with some pretty awesome land-based adventure between dives. Get your dive club, or group of friends, together to book a trip with Nomad. You choose the date, we provide all the gear, transport, food, accommodation and an experienced, highly qualified dive-guide to accompany you. You only have to bring your regs and fins. In order to see everything in one trip we recommend travelling between November and March. If you are interested in the Sardine Run this is only in June/July and can be very unpredictable. We do not advise booking for that until the sardines have been spotted.
A Selection of our Dive Safaris:
Coral Reef
19 Day South African Dive Safari Spot the Big 5 on safari in Kruger and Hlane National Parks, and dive with Tigers, Reef and Ragged-tooth sharks at Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks. With the hardcore diving, comes the opportunity to relax too, snorkel alongside a Whale Shark in Praia Do Tofo and drift past Manta Rays at their cleaning stations in tropical Mozambique.
image
7 Day South Africa Shark Dive Tour The two main dive sites are Protea Banks and Aliwal Shoal, both world renowned as being two of the ultimate shark diving destinations. You will have the opportunity to view huge schools of Hammerheads and Ragged-tooth Sharks, as well as Tiger, Black Tip and Bull sharks. You can also choose to do a couple of open water baited dives just to get the adventure well and truly started.

MAGICAL MADAGASCAR Off the coast of Africa, surrounded by the Indian Ocean, lies Madagascar. The world’s fourth largest island is similar to the Galapagos in that it was largely cut off from the rest of the world for so long that the native flora and fauna took the opportunity to evolve in unique and sometimes surprising ways. The Lemurs of Madagascar are perhaps the most famous creatures and certainly some of the cutest and no trip here would be complete without visiting them. Madagascar is large and has an abundance of activities on offer that include: scuba diving, hiking, lemur watching, mountain biking, dhow safaris, kayaking, local markets, beautiful beaches and incredible scenery. Forests of Baobab trees and some incredibly complicated history mean that your first visit to Madagascar may leave you wanting to return again and again. Make the most of your time by discovering Madagascar with the people who know it best! At Nomad, we have local experts who are passionate, experienced and knowledgeable and will look after you from start to finish. We will ensure that your itinerary shows you the best that Madagascar has on offer.

EXPLORING ETHIOPIA A country of contrast and surprise, Ethiopia is a unique destination in Africa. Landlocked and mountainous, Ethiopia resisted the European colonisation of the early twentieth century. Orthodox Christians, Protestants, Muslims and Ethiopian Jews share the country with traditional Animists. Just through religious affiliation the incredible cultural diversity of this mountainous country is immediately apparent. There are nine official UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ethiopia, with a further five on the tentative list. These include the Gondar region, Lower Valley of the OMO, Aksum and Lalibela. Some sites date back to 400BC and many remain refreshingly undeveloped. Natural landscapes and medieval cities and churches combine harmoniously with more modern buildings to create an original and stimulating picture. In Ethiopia it’s possible to experience mountains, rivers, lakes and other spectacular scenery with a colourful and spectacularly diverse human element. Ethiopian food is unique and coffee was basically invented here. If it’s an exciting, diverse and culturally stimulating adventure you are looking for then Ethiopia is for you.

SMALL GROUPS
It’s obvious that 12 people in a 12 seater vehicle is not a small group as space is still at a premium and you’re still travelling in a full vehicle, and with some operators this could be in a little van. A big advantage of small groups should be sufficient space and room to stretch out and 12 people in a 24 seater truck definitely offers all that and more.
Nomad is proud to be the only adventure tour operator to offer a “business class” option to our already well established and trusted variety of camping and accommodated tours. At the beginning of 2012 we launched our small group departures. Imagine the feeling that you get when you find that on your long haul flight, the seat next to you is empty and you get two seats to yourself and a window view… now imagine experiencing that on your 20 day adventure tour! Our small group tours have a maximum of 12 guests on board our 24 seater truck which means that there is more personalised attention, more space to move around the truck, two lockers, two seats and a window for everyone! On average, Nomad small group departures are only 8-15% more expensive than our regular departures. As we have been running these exact routes for the last 18 years, Nomad can assure you of a quality product that represents the best these areas have to offer and excellent value for money, a cornerstone of all Nomad products.

DEUTSCH GEFÜHRTE TOUREN
Über Nomad / Nomad das Unternehmen In den 18 Jahren die Nomad in der afrikanischen Reise Branche genossen hat, haben wir gelernt, dass unsere Reisenden unsere besten Kritiker sind. Am Ende jeder Tour sammeln wir wertvolles Feedback von unseren Reisenden ein und was wir am Ende des
image
Jahres 2013 herausgefunden haben ist, dass wir eine größere Nachfrage von unseren Deutschen Reisenden haben. Die Nachfrage hat ergeben dass unsere Touren komplett auf Deutsch geführt werden sollten, und nicht nur übersetzte Touren sind. Im Jahr 2015 haben wir unsere Deutsch geführten Touren eingeführt, und sie haben sich entwickelt und wachsen stetig, da es sonst niemand deutschen Reisenden die gleiche Erfahrung bieten kann. Das ist, weil wir die Dinge ein wenig anders machen.
Ein Doppelsitz für jede Person Sie werden nicht nur auf einer Tour reisen die auf maximal 12 Gäste beschränkt ist sondern wir werden diese Tour in einem unserer
Chobe National Park
hoch spezialisierte Nomad Adventure 24-Sitzer Trucks durchführen. Das bedeutet, dass Sie für die Dauer der Tour Zugang zu einem Doppelsitz auf dem Truck haben. Mit einer Sichthöhe von ca. 4 Metern haben Sie ihren eigenen Platz neben einem Fenster - die Möglichkeiten die Aussicht und die vorbeiziehende Landschaft zu genießen sind unübertroffen.
image
Personalisierte Schließfächer Das Reisen in einer kleinen Gruppe in einem größeren Fahrzeug erlaubt jedem Reisenden die doppelte Menge an Stauraum für die Unterbringung Ihrer Habseligkeiten auf dem Truck. Zwei individuelle Schließfächer werden jedem Reisenden zugeteilt was wiederum zu mehr Flexibilität und Komfort auf der Tour führt.
Platz ist in der Regel mit einem Aufschlag auf Gruppenreisen verbunden jedoch bei Nomad ist es das Gegenteil. Mit einer
Kruger National Park
maximalen Anzahl von 12 Personen auf unserem 24-Sitzer Fahrzeug gibt mehr als genügend Platz um sich im Truck die Füsse zu vertreten. Helfen Sie sich zu einem Getränk aus der Kühlbox, die mit Eiswürfeln bestückt ist, probieren Sie unsere verschiedenen Sitz Optionen aus und kommunizieren direkt mit den deutschen Führer, der mit Ihnen im LKW sitzt.
image
Deutsche Führer Mit einem deutschen Führer auf Tour zu sein und nicht nur mit einem Übersetzer bedeutet nicht, dass Sie eine der Feinheiten verpassen im Hinblick auf "Afrikanische" Namen und Bedeutungen. Unsere Deutschen Führer sind alle geschult und arbeiten intensiv in der Region und haben ein umfassendes Wissen über die einhemische Flora und Fauna. Mit einem Deutschem Führer zu reisen verbessert auch den Verlauf der Tour, da es keine Notwendigkeit für Zwei-Wege-Übersetzungen gibt und alle Informationen sind in Ihrer Sprache in der Sie sich wohlfühlen.
Okavango Delta
Unsere Deutsch geführten Touren sind auf die Touren mit fester Unterkunft beschränkt, was uns mehr Flexibilität bei den Mahlzeiten ermöglicht. Im Gegensatz zu unseren regulären Touren, werden alle Frühstücke und Abendessen in Lodges und Restaurants serviert. Kann es noch besser werden? Am Ende eines Tages voller Erkundungen genießen Sie eine heiße Dusche, ein köstliches Essen im Restaurant und ein bequemes Bett, was alles im Voraus für Sie von Nomad gebucht und arrangiert wird.
image
Wir bieten Ihnen auch die Möglichkeit sich Erfahrungen selbst zusammenzustellen durch unser „Optional Activity“ Paket. Mit dieser Option können Sie auswählen, wie viel Aktivitäten sie auf auf Ihrer Tour eingeschlossen haben möchten. Während die meisten Gäste es vorziehen das ganze Paket zu buchen, ziehen es andere vor von den Optionen auszuwählen und andere wiederum entscheiden sich das Paket nicht zu nehmen. Was dies bedeutet, ist ein Buchungsservice von Nomad. Mit der Vorausbuchung Ihres „Optional Activity“ Pakets können wir die Verfügbarkeit der Aktivitäten für Sie gewährleisten. Wenn die Pakete nicht im Voraus
Victoria Falls
gebucht werden, kann es bedeuten, dass einige der Aktivitäten auf der Tour nicht mehr zur Verfügung stehen. Aus diesem Grund ziehen es die Reisebüros , die unser deutsch geführten Touren verkaufen, vor, das „Optional Activity“ Paket in den Gesamtreisepreis einzuschliessen um die Verfügbarkeit zu gewährleisten.
Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite sehen Sie eine Auswahl der Strecken, auf der wir die Deutsch geführte Option anbieten. Bitte zögern Sie nicht uns direkt für eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Reiserouten zu kontaktieren, damit wir Ihnen eine bessere
image
Vorstellung von dem unterbreiten können was man auf diesen Touren mit uns erleben kann. Wir empfehlen unsere Deutsch geführten Reisen für allen deutschsprachigen Reisenden, die eine tiefer gehende Erfahrung suchen, ein höheres Maß an Komfort bevorzugen sowie eine persönliche und gut organisiert und betriebene Tour erleben möchten.

BOTSWANA ‒ THE OKAVANGO DELTA
Situated in the heart of the northern panhandle of the Okavango Delta, the 100 000 hectare wilderness area is home to three remarkable camps; Fallen Baobab, Kana Kara and Jumbo Junction. Enjoy pristine untouched environment, isolated from the tourist crowds, offering you complete privacy. We are able to tailor make both drive in and fly in packages for any duration and include an extensive range of activities including 4x4 game safaris where possible, mokoro trips and nature walks.
Kana Kara is situated snugly on an island in the middle of the Vumbura flood plains, a spectacular backdrop to this rustic camp. Shower under the stars, dine in the fresh evening air and experience the herds of antelope, buffalo, elephant and the occasional predator that comes to visit. 4x4 Game drive safaris rarely disappoint as the bushveld plains always offer up delightful treasures. This camp truly is a photographer’s dream with real possibilities of close encounters with the wild animals around the camp. Comprising eight twin share meru-style tents, each with en-suite facilities, the camp is nothing short of the ultimate back to nature, bush experience. Arrive at Fallen Baobab to the rich warm voices of our staff as we welcome you in song to our understated luxurious and private wilderness camp. Enjoy dining under the stars, put your feet up in our tented lounge and enjoy a range of activities at this comfortable and relaxing camp. The Baobab tree, long revered for its endurance, age and value to both man and animal alike, forms the centrepiece of this unique tented camp. Broken when it was young, the baobab showed its true resilience by continuing to grow, skew and horizontal, into a magnificent guardian of all who come to visit. Wildlife abounds around the camps and at night a cacophony of calls breaks out as the animals communicate with each other.
image Scenic Flight
Jumbo Junction is named after the elephant corridor that passes through the front of the camp and into the Delta. Jumbo Junction lies to the east of the regional town of Seronga, on the flood plain that spills over from the Selinda channel. Each year in late autumn, the herds arrive from as far afield as western Angola, but not without stopping in the Mopane woodlands north of the camp. This migration makes Jumbo Junction a truly spectacular stopover, with flood plains surrounding the camp on three sides and the comfort of a large boma with a fully stocked bar and dining area. Jumbo Junction is aimed at the more budget conscious self-drive adventure traveller. We are able to tailor make any packages to fit any budget, below we have listed samples of the most popular packages which includes the Okavango Delta, Savuti and a visit to Hwange National Park. For a full list of what we can offer, you can contact our reservations team.
image Fallen Baobab
6-Day Okavango & Savuti Express You will be met at Maun Airport from where you are transferred by light aircraft to Kana Kara Camp, where you will spend your first three nights. Kana Kara Camp offers guests the opportunity to explore the delights of the Okavango Delta by mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) and nature walks on nearby islands along with the added advantage of being able to enjoy 4x4 game drives. From Kana Kara camp you will be transferred by light aircraft to the Savuti airstrip for your two night stay at Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge. Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge lies on the ledges of Ghoha Hills in the Savuti area of the Chobe National Park. You will have the opportunity to enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the Savute channel and marsh areas where large numbers of wildlife are attracted to this rejuvenated wilderness haven. After spending time exploring the delights of the Okavango Delta and Savuti areas you will return to Maun airport by light aircraft for your onward travel arrangements.
image
9-Day Delta, Savuti & Hwange Deluxe For those travellers with more time on their hands we can offer our 8 night Delta, Savuti & Hwange Deluxe package. The first five nights of this package follow the same thread as the Okavango & Savuti Express package however from Savuti, instead of flying back to Maun guests are flown to Kasane airport and transferred by road and rail to Camelthorn Lodge in the Hwange National Park. One of the highlights of this package is the transfer on the Elephant Express Rail Car which traverses a game rich area and offers guests wonderful game viewing en-route to the lodge. After enjoying three nights at Camelthorn Lodge guests are transferred by road back to Victoria Falls airport for their onward travel arrangements.

VICTORIA FALLS TO JOHANNESBURG
CAMPING
Our two day truck transit forms the link between many of our tours ending in Victoria Falls and starting in Johannesburg. This is the most cost effective way of travelling between the two points, however it is not a tour and it is literally a way for you to get from point A to point B. The reason that we offer this service is because flights between Victoria Falls and Johannesburg are relatively expensive and this is a great way to save some of your hard earned cash and spend a couple more days with your fellow travellers.

SHARE WITH US ONLINE... SOCIAL MEDIA When we started Nomad back in the 1990’s it was rare to have any contact with our clients once they had travelled with us. Quite often past clients returned, years later, and did another tour, so we knew they had enjoyed the first one. Sometimes they sent us
facebook.com/ NomadTours
twitter.com/ NomadTours
instagram.com/ nomadadventuretours #nomadtours
pinterest.com/ nomadtours

tripadvisor.com/
letters or postcards! Time has passed, we have always had feedback forms for clients, but once the trip is over most people are busy moving on to whatever comes next... back to work, another country, a volunteer placement, back to studies, back to retirement! So this is a reminder to please share those pictures, thoughts and videos before you get back to the real world again. Our guides appreciate it, we appreciate it and our past, present and future travellers appreciate it. You will find Nomad on Tripadvisor, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr and several other forums. You probably looked Nomad up using one, or many, of these social networks before you travelled. All we ask is that when you have travelled with us that you please post some photos/video/thoughts with us and others. Mention our guides, they love getting feedback and let others know what to expect on a Nomad tour. If you have a blog, send it to us, we may ask to share it with our online network. We have a new website which launched in 2014 and we always prefer to use photos, feedback and video from our past travellers. It is honest, authentic and gives our future travellers the best idea of what to expect. And, if you want to do things the old fashioned way, send us a postcard! The address is PO Box 2600, Somerset West, 7129, South Africa. We all look forward to hearing from you.

WHY CHOOSE NOMAD?
Choosing the right adventure company is important. It can mean the difference between the trip of a lifetime or a tour that doesn’t meet your expectations. Adventure companies are not all the same.
Nomad’s story began over 19 years ago when Alex Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad, undertook a trans-Africa expedition lasting almost a year. On that journey he encountered numerous companies offering trips to Africa. A niche 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.
NOMAD THE COMPANY Our Reputation The best endorsement we have for our tours is the feedback we get from our satisfied clients. Around the world our reputation has been established by word of mouth and that’s the greatest compliment that we could ask for! Due to our consistently high quality of service and product, various international travel organisations have appointed us as their preferred operator.
Nomad – Market Leaders 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 60 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 and operated ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day.
Nomad is one of the largest adventure tour companies in Africa, with a long and productive history in the industry. We have been respected as a professional and legitimate operation for over 18 years: Over 93,500 clients More than 31 million kilometres covered. Averaging 2 million kilometres and over 720 tours a year – our experience is unrivalled. More than 9,900 tours run to date
This makes us big enough to rely on, but small enough to care. No one invests more than we do into guides, trucks, equipment or infrastructure.
African Operators are best! We are extremely proud to be 100% African owned and managed. Living and working every day in Africa means that our finger is directly on the pulse of the continent. This ensures you receive the best Africa has to offer. Every cent we earn is spent in Africa - creating jobs! By choosing Nomad you ensure that a large number of Africans are directly employed.
Vehicles and Equipment Nomad has the newest and most modern fleet of vehicles around. Trucks are renewed on a regular basis. Our 40 Adventure Vehicles are amongst the finest ever built for this purpose. They are designed with safety in mind and we run a state-of-the-art workshop according to the highest standards. To this end, Nomad built 6 new bodies in 2015 and have a major fleet renewal planned for 2016.

Tour Linking
There are no hidden costs in our tour prices; what you see is what you get. When you compare our prices, including any Activity Packages or local payments, Nomad is always the best value for money. We do not have food kitties as seen with other adventure tour operators.
Unlike a lot of competitors, all of our routes except the Cape to Vic Falls camping tour and sections (maximum of 24 clients), have a maximum of 18 clients only. Our small groups have a maximum of 12.
Tour Durations
These tours are available for guests who don’t speak any English. These tours are offered on our Cape to Vic Falls and South African Explorer accommodated tours. A fully qualified German Guide will be available on the tours and meals will be served from lodges. German Guided tours have unique departure dates and pricing is slightly different to our standard tours. See page 10 & 11 for details.
Nomad offers tours ranging from 2 to 58 days in duration. This means that we cater to people with all types of requirements in terms of time and will have something for everyone, no matter what your constraints are.

VEHICLES & EQUIPMENT
The trucks on tour are a major component of all adventure tours. These tours are road trips and incorporate long drives, bumpy roads and possible mechanical problems, also, digging your truck out of mud is sometimes considered a highlight. Nomad’s custom built adventure trucks are fully stocked before every tour, insuring the vehicle is ready for an epic adventure. Nomad vehicles are amongst some of the finest on the road however do not forget the nature of an adventure tour, it is not a city to city coach liner trip and there is no air-conditioning or toilets on the truck. Chat to your fellow travellers, play cards and enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Using your time on the road wisely will make the hours tick by faster.

EAST AFRICAN SAFARI VEHICLES Not all of our tours are operated on customised adventure trucks, some of them are operated on smaller, open top vehicles. These safari vehicles, such as the ones highlighted here, are able to handle rougher terrains and conditions than the larger trucks. Unlike the trucks these vehicles are not built to sustain long distance travel, but they are ideal for game viewing in the National Parks of the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Kruger.

OUR WORKSHOP – THE BACKBONE OF NOMAD In Somerset West, just outside Cape Town, Nomad’s state of the art workshop and truck building facility is where all the action happens. From inception to beautifully designed and constructed, our trucks are created with passion and a lot of skill. This is also where our trucks are maintained and all are on a rotational schedule where they are constantly checked and serviced. Your safety and comfort are our first priority and are of paramount importance to us and we have therefore ensured that we have the safest adventure tour trucks on the road. Most of our tours cover large distances and a lot of time is spent in the trucks.

This tour is available in the opposite direction, starting in Victoria Falls and ending in Cape Town Day 1 South Africa – Cederberg Region Leaving Cape Town we make our first stop at Table View and take photos of Table Mountain from across Table Bay. We will be heading north towards our stop for the first night, passing through the Cederberg Region. Upon arrival at our overnight stop, we will enjoy a wine tasting, sampling wines from the region. Tonight we will be treated to a traditional South African meal, followed by a full tour briefing from your guides. Day 2 Namaqualand – Gariep (Orange) River After an early start, we continue north via the distant town of Springbok, best known for its diamonds, copper and spring flowers. We then proceed to our camp located right beside the Namibian border. The camp is situated on the riverbank that forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. Day 3 Namibia – Gariep (Orange) River – Fish River Canyon This morning there's the chance to see the beautiful river valley by canoe or just relax at camp. After lunch we cross the border and travel to the Fish River Canyon. After a scenic walk along the edge of the canyon we enjoy our dinner while watching the sunset. This is also a fantastic photo opportunity. Optional Activity: Half day canoe trip Day 4 Namib-Naukluft National Park We arrive at the Namib-Naukluft National Park and set up camp, then enjoy a short hike into the Sesriem Canyon. Tonight we enjoy the star-studded sky and enduring silence of the Namib Desert, only occasionally interrupted by the call of a Jackal or, a rather unique lizard, the barking gecko! Day 5 Sossusvlei Dunes – Namib-Naukluft National Park This is our earliest morning as we prepare for our hike up Dune 45 to marvel at the sunrise. After our hike, we will have the chance to visit Sossusvlei. Later we join a local expert on a guided hike and learn more about the unique desert ecosystem and how the Bushmen survived in the harsh desert conditions. Day 6 Swakopmund After a brief photo stop while crossing the Tropic of Capricorn, we travel onto Namibia's Atlantic coast and the adventure capital, Swakopmund. Just before we arrive in Swakopmund, we stop at the Walvis Bay lagoon en-route, where there are often flamingos to be seen. You will be briefed on the many optional activities available here and there is time to explore the town before dinner out at one of the local restaurants. Day 7 Swakopmund Today is your chance to experience the adrenalin filled atmosphere that Swakopmund offers. Taking a walk around Swakopmund's shops and having a leisurely lunch is also a great way to spend your day if you are not participating in the many activities available on offer here. Optional Activities: Dolphin cruise, sky diving, sandboarding, quad biking Day 8 Spitzkoppe Leaving the coast we drive through arid landscapes to Spitzkoppe Mountain. The enormous granite monoliths dominate the otherwise flat landscape and we set up camp at the base of the mountain. This afternoon our guide will take us on a guided walk to explore the unique rock formations. The more adventurous among us may want to try some mountain climbing for some stunning views of the landscape. Day 9 Himba Tribe – Outjo We visit a Himba community close to Kamanjab where you will have an opportunity to interact with the people who live there. This is a working village and is only a representation of a larger group of nomadic pastoralists. The semi-nomadic Himba people are extremely susceptible to Western influence and have lost a large portion of their land to farmers, engineers, miners and many were displaced during the wars that raged in Angola. The dwindling number of pastoralists that still exist in their natural environment are protected as far as possible by creating a “buffer zone”, or an “educational tribe” where tourists who would like to get a better understanding of the way of the Himba, their lifestyle and their traditions, can do so without interfering with those still living in their natural environment. Day 10/11 Etosha National Park Etosha is the venue for some of the most unique game viewing experiences in Africa. The sparse grasslands allow great opportunities to see animals normally hidden in dense vegetation. You may even see some of the amazing animals crossing the road in front of your truck! We will go on various game drives and spend our evenings at the abundant waterholes for some excellent game photography.

Tonight we will be treated to a traditional South African meal, followed by a full tour briefing from your guides. Day 2 Namibia – Gariep (Orange) River Today we travel through the Northern Cape and Namaqualand, stopping at the remote town of Springbok for any last requirements. After crossing the Namibian border we check into the lovely chalets overlooking the river that forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. Day 3 Namibia – Gariep (Orange) River – Fish River Canyon This morning there's a chance to do an optional canoe trip down the Gariep River or to spend some time relaxing at the camp along the river. After lunch we travel north to the Fish River Canyon and take a scenic hike along the rim in order to gain some perspective as to just how large this natural phenomenon is. Later we return to Ai-Ais to check in to our accommodation and enjoy the hot springs. Optional Activity: Half day canoe trip Day 4 Namib-Naukluft National Park The Namib-Naukluft NP is one of Namibia's geographic gems and at 50,000km2, is one of the largest parks in Africa. There are massive sand dunes in the Sossusvlei desert area as well as the remarkable landscape. Our lodge is situated outside the park. Day 5 Sossusvlei Dunes – Namib-Naukluft National Park We have a full day in the Namib-Naukluft National Park that starts with a walk up Dune 45 for an amazing view and photo opportunity. Later we will have the opportunity to be transported into Sossusvlei. In the afternoon there is a short walk into Sesriem Canyon.

Day 7 Swakopmund Today is your chance to experience the adrenalin filled atmosphere that Swakopmund offers. Taking a walk around Swakopmund's shops and having a leisurely lunch is also a great way to spend your day if you are not participating in the many activities available on offer here. Optional Activities: Dolphin cruise, sky diving, sandboarding, quad biking Day 8 Khorixas Today we head inland towards Khorixas, stopping en-route at Spitzkoppe, where we will enjoy some time exploring the enormous granite monoliths with our guide. In the afternoon we will visit the Petrified Forest (might be done the following morning). Day 9 Himba Tribe – Outjo We visit a Himba community close to Kamanjab where you will have an opportunity to interact with the people who live there. This is a working village and is only a representation of a larger group of nomadic pastoralists. The semi-nomadic Himba people are extremely susceptible to Western influence and have lost a large portion of their land to farmers, engineers, miners and many were displaced during the wars that raged in Angola. The dwindling number of pastoralists that still exist in their natural environment are protected as far as possible by creating a “buffer zone”, or an “educational tribe” where tourists who would like to get a better understanding of the way of the Himba, their lifestyle and their traditions, can do so without interfering with those still living in their natural environment. Day 10/11 Etosha National Park Etosha is the venue for some of the most unique game viewing experiences in Africa. The sparse grasslands allow great opportunities to see animals normally hidden in dense vegetation. You may even see some of the amazing animals crossing the road in front of your truck! We will go on various game drives and spend our evenings at the abundant waterholes for some excellent game photography.

Day 5 Gorillas (Lake Bunyonyi) The mountain gorilla is extremely endangered and while exact numbers vary it is widely assumed that there are only around 650 left. Visiting the gorillas is a great way to support their future on earth as the money spent on permits is used for their protection. An extremely important part of the future conservation of the remaining gorillas rests in the community development work – as local communities change their attitudes towards wildlife and start to protect rather than poach, the future of the mountain gorilla is assured.

Day 2 Kilimanjaro National Park – Machame Camp (3010m) After breakfast, you will be collected from your hotel and after a 45-minute drive; you will arrive at the entrance to the Kilimanjaro National Park. In a short time, you will be deep within the magnificent mountain rainforest. With a little luck, you may glimpse and hear the beautiful black and white thumb-less Colobus monkeys in the treetops. After 5 – 7 hours, you will reach today's destination – The Machame Camp – situated just below the tree line at 3010m. Here, at the base of the Kilimanjaro, you will have your first dinner and overnight stay at the camp. Day 3 Kilimanjaro National Park Shira Camp (3845m) After an early morning start, we leave the Machame Camp and the timberline behind. The path gets steeper and the landscape turns into a moor and heath land, allowing you to take in the impressive mountain range. Today's stage is shorter than the last one and by mid-afternoon we arrive at the New Shira Campsite at the Shira Plateau. The camp offers a breath-taking view of the mountain, especially at sunset. Day 4 Kilimanjaro National Park Barranco Camp (3960m) Today we climb approx. 800m but we camp at an elevation only slightly higher than the previous night. This will allow us to acclimatize as a height of over 4600m will be reached the next two days before descending again. The trek begins with a long ascent above the Shira Plateau in the direction of the Lava Tower Hut (4640m). After 6 – 7 hours, we arrive at perhaps the most beautiful camp on Kilimanjaro- the Barranco Camp. Day 5 Kilimanjaro National Park Barafu Camp (4640m) The trek of today starts with the climb of the “Barranco Wall”. Safety is paramount and you will be secured where necessary along this route. Following the ridge as it wanders up and down, it offers splendid views of the south glacier of Kibo. In the Karanga Valley, you will have lunch in preparation for the 2 – 3 hrs climb to Barafu Camp (4640m). Once at camp, have dinner and take an early night in preparation for the next day. The guide will wake us up again at 11:30pm and the climb begins just after midnight on Day 6.

Day 6 Kilimanjaro National Park Uhuru Peak (Summit 5895m) – Mweka Camp (3080m) At around 00.30 a.m. we begin the climb to the Uhuru peak. Climbing the steps of the Kibo you will arrive at Stella Point after 5-7 hours of hard trekking. This is the crater rim of Kilimanjaro, from which we continue for another 1-2 hours along the edge to Uhuru Peak (5895m), the summit! The comparatively simple descent runs almost along the same route and shortly before midday, we arrive at Camp Barafu. After a welldeserved break of 1 – 2 hrs, we are on our way to Camp Mweka (3080m) where an evening meal and a good night's sleep awaits you Day 7 Kilimanjaro National Park Mweka Gate (1630m) – Moshi The final leg of this amazing adventure begins after breakfast with a traditional farewell ceremony from the mountain guides. Then a gentle 2 and a half hour descent through the rainforest to Mweka Gate, where the driver takes us back to the Hotel in Moshi.

Marangu Day 1 Moshi Today we meet in Moshi. If the weather is favourable we might get a first glimpse of the world's tallest freestanding mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m). When you arrive at the hotel you will have some time to relax before a representative will brief you on what to expect in the upcoming week. Day 2 Kilimanjaro National Park – Mandara Hut (2700m) After a big breakfast we transit to the eastern side of Kilimanjaro to start our trek. Marangu Gate is at 1 860 m above sea level and this is where we begin. It is roughly a 7 km journey through rainforest to the Mandara Huts (2 700 m). If you are still feeling energetic after this section you can walk to Maundi Crater for some scenic views of both Kenya and Tanzania and on a clear day, Kibo Crater. There is an evening meal and overnight stay at the Mandara Hut. Day 3 Kilimanjaro National Park – Horombo Hut (3700m) After a good night's rest we have a filling breakfast before we climb through forest and moorland to the Horombo Huts (3 700 m). The distance covered today is roughly 11 km and along the way we see some of Tanzania's most interesting vegetation such as the giant lobelia and giant groundsel. Half way we stop for lunch while enjoying amazing views of Mawenzi (5 149 m), one of Kilimanjaro's peaks. Tonight we stay at the Horombo Hut.
Kilimanjaro Views
Day 4 Kilimanjaro National Park – Zebra Rocks (4020m) Today serves as an acclimatisation day. This is very important and greatly improves your chances of reaching the summit. We take a 3-4 hour trek to Zebra Rocks, so named because of the distinctive black and white stripes. A warm lunch will be waiting on our return to the hut, where an afternoon of relaxation helps prepare for the following day. Day 5 Kilimanjaro National Park – Kibo Hut (4700m) We get up at sunrise and after breakfast we set off for the Kibo Huts (47 00 m). Again, it is roughly 12 km to our destination. The first half of the hike traverses upper heath land while the second half crosses the vast saddle that connects Mawenzi and Kibo. The saddle of Kilimanjaro is alpine desert and care must be taken on this rough terrain. After dinner we need a very early night as the next day there is an extremely early start.
mage
Day 6 Kilimanjaro National Park – Uhuru Peak (Summit 5895m) Today is 'The Big Day' – the summit stage. Many hours before dawn we begin the final trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro. At sunrise we reach Gillman's Point (5 681m) which is the crater rim of Kilimanjaro, where the sun slowly starts to warm up the land. After a further hike of 1-2 hours to Uhuru Peak (5 895 m) we can celebrate the accomplishment of reaching the 'Roof of Africa'. The route 5 back down is faster (compared to ascent) and a warm meal awaits us at the Kibo Hut. Later we continue on to the Horombo Hut where most of the mountain conquerors will be glad of an early night.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Day 7 Kilimanjaro National Park – Moshi Our journey back to Marangu Gate is about 18 km, a steady descent down through moorland to Mandara Hut (2 700m) where a hot lunch is prepared for us. If you conquered the summit you will collect your summit certificate at the gate. Green for Gilman's Point and gold for those that reached Uhuru Peak. Then we head back to Moshi for a hot shower and a well-deserved rest. Day 8 Kilimanjaro After breakfast the tour ends, please let us know if you require any further transport. The Activity Package is compulsory on this route as it covers the park fees for the duration of your climb.

Day 11 South Luangwa National Park Early in the morning we drive from Petauke to the border of the South Luangwa National Park where we will spend the next two nights right on the banks of the Luangwa River. Before our arrival at the South Luangwa NP, we will stop at the community run tribal textile project. The Tribal textile production factory is closed annually from December to March, we will therefore not be able to view the fabric production, however the textile shop is open all year round. This afternoon we enjoy a sunset game drive in the South Luangwa NP. (The game drive might happen the following day due to time constraints). Day 12 South Luangwa National Park In the morning you will have the opportunity to take an optional game drive through the South Luangwa National Park, which is known for its high concentration of leopards and hippos. You can often see hippos and other animals from the camp bar. Optional Activities: Safari walk, morning game drive

Day 6 Luxor After breakfast on-board we bid farewell to our felucca crew and visit the nearby temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu before continuing on north to Luxor. The town of Luxor is built on and around the ancient site of Thebes, and boasts the largest concentration of ancient ruins in the Nile Valley, if not the world.

image The Sphinx
Day 7 Luxor We cross the Nile early this morning to begin our tour of Luxor's West Bank. Home to the Valley of the Kings, the dusty tombs in this ancient burial site are still revealing their secrets today and so it remains one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Our tour includes several of these Pharaonic tombs, as well as the temples of Queen Hatchepsut and Medinat Habu, and the huge Colossi of Memnon. A spectacular hot air balloon flight over the west bank of the Nile is available this morning (expect an early start to catch sunrise as the balloon rises). After lunch we'll tour the huge temple complex at Karnak, once the religious centre of Thebes and Upper Egypt. It was linked to Luxor by an extensive avenue, lined with sphinxes, and the whole complex was in turn linked to the Nile via a canal through which moved the sacred boats of the god Amun. Entering through a smaller sphinx-lined avenue, built by Ramesses II, you come to the immense pylon entrance. Inside the huge Courtyard are three chapels dedicated to the gods Amun, Khous and Mut. The remarkable Hypostyle Hall has 134 towering columns, each carved with scenes of gods and pharaohs, and hieroglyphic inscriptions adorn the walls. In the evening we take the overnight train back to Cairo. Optional Activity: Early morning hot air balloon flight, sleeper train or internal flight upgrades
