Welcome to the Nomad 2021 brochure. What a year it has been ! I am happy to announce that Nomad is still strong and looking forward to hosting clients in 2021. We are weathering the storm and will continue to do so until it’s time to tour. With each year we have continued to simplify, improve & bring our clientele the best value for money experiences for a memorable African safari. This year is no different as we have streamlined the navigation process of picking your desired route & highlights. Over our 24 years of operation we have ensured that our expertise and specialised interest in Southern and East Africa is best showcased in this year’s brochure. Not only revealing our famous scheduled all- inclusive product but also the tailor-made division that focusses on both individuals and groups, the charter department where we run trips for other companies, our speciality services such as the Dive division and the stunning properties we represent. The next two pages sum up Nomad, with a minimum of fuss and hopefully expresses a company with a solid history still driven by passion. See you on the road….. Alex

Core Route 5
KRUGER & MOZAMBIQUE
Stretching over 2500km along the East coast of Africa, this beautiful region is the perfect combination of a safari and beach experience. From the Big 5 in Kruger National Park and the rich culture of the Kingdom of Eswatini to the tropical waters of Bazaruto Island and Tofo beach. A few days of sea and sun is the perfect way to round off a safari, combining big game viewing with pure tropical relaxation.
"Just had the most amazing adventure on a Swakopmund to Vic Falls trip with Nomad! Couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Great group, great food, great accommodation. Highlights were Etosha NP, Okavango Delta, Chobe NP. Special shout out to our amazing crew who were unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. They organised and looked after us so well. Thank you Mama G, Arlington, and Geoffrey, you are superstars! Nomad are so lucky to have you and you made our experience very special" - Greg. K
"I went on the awesome tour of South Africa. Lush, green and sunny every day. I often look at the films I made with my iPhone. I am a single woman, 65 years old from Switzerland and not sporty at all. These trips are perfect for young and old and very safe, as the trouble spots are avoided. Nkosi our friendly driver was an expert. I can highly recommend this trip (also very safe for a female traveling alone, like myself) It would have been impossible to travel 5000km on my own and see so much! Do not miss the opportunity covering Southern Africa at these prices!" - Agnes. S

The Nomad African Trust The trust was established in 2008 by Alexander Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad. In deciding how to proceed with the vision of the Trust we had to determine how we were going to approach the multitude of challenges facing Africa every day. We came up with these guiding principles: People, Places and Animals
People We target basic human needs like food, shelter and health care. We continue to support and help uplift rural communities as we believe that the source of many of the problems facing Africa lie in the challenges facing these areas.
Places It is the lesser known places of Africa that often need the greatest help and exposure. We believe that diversity should remain one of the most treasured characteristics of this beautiful planet.
Animals Although we are involved in anti-poaching initiatives and the protection of creatures, our objective is to ensure that our tours do not impact negatively by supporting any activities that involve the physical interaction with animals. A big focus within our own community is providing support to various welfare organisations.

This payment is non-refundable and is paid directly to the gorilla tour operators. • While Nomad has utilized its best endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the tour price, such price is subject to change as a result of factors beyond Nomad’s reasonable control, in which event Nomad shall utilize its best efforts to notify the clients of such changes as soon as possible. • The tour price includes only those services/items that are included as per the itinerary and the tour dossier, and the client shall be responsible and pay for any additional items where, as required by the Company from time to time, such payment is made either directly to a third party service provider or to the Company for settlement with a third party service provider. • The Company records that prices/charges/tariffs in respect of certain activities forming part of the tour are determined in accordance with the public regulations of a particular country and, accordingly, the Company has no control over any increases in such prices/charges/tariffs, including where such increases are implemented during the tour. The Company accordingly reserves the right to increases the relevant prices/charges/ tariffs to account for such increases and/or fluctuations. The client will be notified of such increase and/or fluctuation as soon as possible and only if possible do its best to obtain the client’s authorisation before commencing with the final booking of such trip. • Although the Company takes care to ensure that all information on their website and or price brochures and/or quotations are correct, it will not be bound to any price that contains an inadvertent and/or obvious error. If a mistake occurs in any advertisement, the Company undertakes to take all reasonable steps to inform the customer of the correct details. All prices are quoted in South African Rand (ZAR) currency. If a customer pays using a non ZAR currency, the amount debited to the customer’s account will be as close to the advertised price as possible. • Electronic Transfer: Proof of the transfer with a bank stamp must be faxed or emailed to our office (+27 21 845 7401 / nomad@nomadtours.co.za)
as proof of payment. All transfer / bank fees are the responsibility of the client. Nomad Adventure Tours & Holidays CC must receive the full total due in to the bank account. • Credit Card: If Nomad Adventure Tours & Holidays CC accepts payment by Credit Card, a 5% administration fee will be added to the total tour fare for which payment is being made. CANCELLATIONS • Cancellation of a scheduled tour booking must be made in writing and is not effective until such written cancellation is received and acknowledged by Nomad Adventure Tours & Holidays CC. Cancellation fees are applied to the tour price, activity package, green seat and pre/post tour services. • No cancellation fee is applicable to tours cancelled more than 60 days before date of Departure (excluding the non-refundable gorilla trekking permit, Okavango Delta upgrade excursion and Serengeti Upgrade excursion). • Special Condition for tours that require a Gorilla Permit: When a client cancels a tour that requires a gorilla trekking permit, the permit price is non-refundable and will be forfeited. • Should a Client cancel a booking 60 days or less prior to the date of departure of the tour for any reason (except due to death or hospitalisation), the client shall be liable to pay a cancellation penalty. The cancellation penalty is calculated by having regard to the nature of the booking, length of notice of cancellation and reasonable potential to find alternative customers. Having regard to the aforementioned factors, the following percentages may be forfeited by the customer in respect of the arranged tour price due to a no-show based on the number of days between receipt of the cancellation notice and the date of the departure: - >60 Days: No fee applies (unless Gorilla Permit has been booked – which is non-refundable) - 30 - 60 Days: 50% of the tour price is held as cancellation - 10 - 29 Days: 75% of the tour price is held as cancellation - 0 - 09 Days: 90% of the tour price is held as cancellation • The Company shall be entitled to apply any portion of the non-refundable deposit paid by the client toward any cancellation penalty payable in terms hereof. • The Company reserves the right, at any time and for any reason, to cancel the tour on notice to the client. In such event, the Company shall refund the tour price (which includes for the avoidance of doubt, the nonrefundable deposit) to the client. It is recorded that refund of the tour price as aforesaid shall be the Company’s sole responsibility to the client, and no claim for any damages, howsoever arising, shall accrue against the Company by reason of a cancellation of the tour. • The client acknowledges that the tour is subject to a minimum booking of 4 passengers (including the client). If the minimum booking is not obtained, the Company reserves the right to cancel the tour and refund the tour price to the client, in which event the client shall (for the avoidance of doubt) have no claim for any damages against the Company.
