What does Nomad do? Dear Fellow Travellers Welcome to our Nomad 2015 brochure. I hope you find it as exciting as we do! Thank you for taking the time to explore some of the many travel options available with Nomad or just to catch up with us. Africa continues to draw travellers of all ages and nationalities due to its unique combination of attractions. Unrivalled cultural interactions, heart-stopping adventure, majestic scenic beauty and of course, the most incredible wildlife on the planet. In this we are extremely fortunate as tourism is now a major force driving the upliftment of the whole continent. These variables are what inspire us at Nomad and have kept our passion for Africa alive, these last 17 years. 2014 has proven to be Nomad’s finest year to date. We have smashed all records imaginable. Our fleet grew. Our departures grew. Out staff grew and fortunately so did our family of happy customers. We ran more tours, carried more people and did it better than ever. Nomad is continuing to move onwards and upwards and, to all of you who have had a role in that, you have our deepest thanks. All that growing has enabled us to reinvest massively into Nomad. I am happy to report that in 2015 we will be operating with the best possible resources available to ensure we continue to set new benchmarks in Adventure travel in Africa. The quality of our guides, vehicles and equipment, as well as the accommodation and activities on our tours has risen to levels that are totally unmatched and will ensure that anyone travelling with Nomad in 2015 will have a life changing adventure and come to discover why people who visit Africa, usually come back. 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 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 and Independent Traveller 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.

Day Tours Nomad also offers a carefully selected list of Day Tours in and around the major cities of Africa.

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. 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’d 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 15 years ago) our guests have also changed. 15 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

The best guides 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 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.

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.

The best equipment

What’s included? Transport in our specialised vehicles, the services of two qualified guides, meals, accommodation, specified activities and most National Park fees.

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?

The best reputation

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.

The best operations

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 THE COMPANY Nomad’s story began over 18 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.

Our Reputation

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.

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 17 years:

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 ownermanaged and operated ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day.

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 Guides

Tour Dates

The success or failure of any tour depends heavily on the guides of the tour. It is with this in mind that we recruit, train and manage our guides. Nomad guides are known across Africa as great leaders, chefs and drivers by all who come into contact with them.

Nomad runs over 720 tours a year. Most tours run weekly or twice a month. Our availability means that there will almost certainly be a date suitable for you to travel on.

Tour Operations Our dedicated operations team of unique individuals have over 80 years of combined experience and ensure that our guides, vehicles and equipment function together seamlessly. Our team also ensures the best routes are chosen and provide unbeatable backup whenever problems occur. With all of this history and infrastructure behind us, Nomad runs great tours – balancing safety and reliability with fun and adventure – delivering some of the best value for money experiences available on the continent.

NOMAD – THE TOURS Tour Choices We offer the best variety of overland tours throughout Southern and East Africa. We cover 16 countries: South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Egypt & Morocco. With our unique tour linking system, almost any combination of tours is possible. We have over 120 different route options available for you.

Tour Prices 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.

Tour Durations 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.

Tour Directions All of Nomad’s tours run in a North or South direction or are Round Tours. This ensures we offer the best connections with regards to flights and tour extensions.

Guaranteed Departures Many of Nomad’s departures are guaranteed departures. The rest have a minimum of 4 clients required to confirm the tour. Fortunately, it is very rare that Nomad has to cancel bookings. Feel free to enquire about passengers booked when enquiring on any date.

People

Foreign Language Tours Nomad has always been the premier foreign language tour operator. All our scheduled tours are conducted in English but on selected departures we offer a German (G) speaking crew member to act as translator. New for 2015 are German Guided (GG) tours on selected routes.

Animals

Tour Linking Our unique tour linking system enables clients to mix and match various tour options allowing you to shorten tours or add tours together to make trips more personalised and unique.

Maximum Passengers 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.

German Guided Tours New for 2015, 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 all meals will be served from lodges or will consist of packed lunches. German Guided tours have unique departure dates and pricing is slightly different to our standard tours.

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 Nomad’s small groups is that there is sufficient space and room to stretch out with only 12 people in a 24 seater truck. As we have been running these exact routes for the last 17 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. Nomad Small group departures are limited to a maximum of 12 passengers. The good news is that we operate these tours in our standard 24 seater Adventure Trucks. As we like to say, 12 people in a 12 seater vehicle is not a small group. Space is at a premium and a big advantage of small groups should be space and room to stretch out. 12 people in 24 seater offers all that and more. But the best news of all is that the Small Group tour prices are on average only 8 - 15% more expensive than regular departures, offering incredible value for money!

Guided bush walk

THE FOLLOWING ROUTES ARE AVAILABLE WITH SMALL GROUP DEPARTURES: Cape Town to Vic Falls Accommodated Our premier tour represents some of the best touring opportunities in Africa. From desolate deserts in Namibia, lush waterways in the Okavango Delta, to the deafening thunder of Victoria Falls, this trip has it all.

South African Explorer Welcome to the Rainbow Nation! South Africa is rightly renowned as a world in one country. The highlights are too numerous to mention. Suffice to say, a trip to South Africa is one not to be forgotten easily.

Okavango and Chobe Trail A short but dramatic tour of the highlights of Botswana. The winding waterways of the Okavango Delta are magical and the

game viewing in Chobe National Park is breathtaking. End the trip besides the majestic Victoria Falls.

Kruger National Park One of the world’s greatest parks, Kruger is world famous for good reason. Spectacular game viewing is topped off with the magnificent sights of the Panorama Route including the Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Bourkes Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels.

Game viewing

Mozambique This tour combines the spectacular game viewing experiences available in the Kruger National Park, the breathtaking vistas of the Panorama Route and the fantastic beaches, snorkelling and diving of Mozambique. The Whale Shark encounters are unique.

This means that our German guests can choose between either a standard scheduled departure which is conducted completely in English; a German Translated tour which has a translator on board the truck doing line by line translations (however the tour is still operated in English); or most excitingly, they can choose to do a fully German Guided tour where they can take the opportunity to have a qualified German Guide on their truck with them.

specific historical, geographical and natural information provided to them

We have offered this alternative as we have found that our German guests do have slightly different requirements on tour. For this reason, we will be offering the German Guided option on our Cape Town to Victoria Falls Accommodated tour and on our South African Explorer Self Accommodated tour.

in their home language. On our German Guided tours, all breakfasts and dinners will be provided at restaurants and lodges. Below you will find a map of the routes that are available as well as a list of tours that are available in a German Guided option and the dates that they depart. For a full tour itinerary or dossier, please see our website, contact African Self Explorer tour itineraries on page 36 and 48 in this brochure. German Guided tours are also available on our Southern Circle Tour which consists of a combination of our Cape Town to Vic Falls tour, a two day transit from Vic Falls to Joburg and our South African Explorer South tour.

The German Guided tours will be accommodated only and are recommended for those who would like a more comfortable experience as well as more

Vic Falls to Johannesburg Transit - Journey to Johannesburg South Camping Tour code: NTVJ

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.

Victoria Falls

Day 1 Victoria Falls to Palapye / Martinsdrift An early departure from Victoria Falls, we drive south through Botswana to Palapye, or the border post at Martinsdrift, where we will spend the night at a lively campsite. Optional activity: All meals

Day 2 Palapye / Martinsdrift to Johannesburg Another early departure, we enter into South Africa. Covering the next 450 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 550 km on sealed roads we should get to Johannesburg as early as possible. There are no meals provided on the transit. This transit departs every Tuesday and Saturday.

Share with us online When we started Nomad back in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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. Its 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, 7130, South Africa. We all look forward to hearing from you.

Making Africa Greener

What Is Your Carbon Footprint All About?

Carbon Dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for global Making Africa Greener warming. During photosynthesis carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere, reducing the unnaturally high levels that mankind caused. The planting of trees and vegetation is basically the only way to offset carbon. Nomad has developed “Green Seats” on their tours to allow clients to travel responsibly in Africa and to offset the carbon footprint that is created through the fuel consumption on tour. One of the best plants when it comes to carbon absorption is the Spekboom (or Elephant’s Food as it is commonly known). What Is Spekboom? Spekboom is an evergreen succulent that can reach a height of 2,5m and native to the arid cape region of South Africa occurs mainly in the South-Eastern Cape, especially around Baviaanskloof and the Addo Elephant National Park. Spekboom (Afrikaans, meaning “pork bush”) thickets can store 20 kilograms of carbon in every square meter of vegetation, or 200 tons of carbon per hectare – roughly the same as what is absorbed by a moist, sub-tropical forest of the same size. That’s equivalent to taking 37 cars off the road for a year. Since most dryland areas similar to the cape store less than 50 metric tons of carbon per hectare and deciduous forests are estimated to store

The Nomad African Trust was established in 2008 by Alexander Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad. Our Approach 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 To date we have been able to see positive results in our efforts and approach. Our continuing aim is to obtain funding from players in the tourism industry and other related sectors, in order to help and protect the very people, places and animals that these parties earn their living from. As such we are able to provide focussed and specific help across these three fronts. Through this we have been able to effect real change by ensuring funding is spent in such a way so as to create permanent and long lasting benefits to our beneficiaries. People Many organisations focus on uplifting through modernisation, education and the like. While these are noble efforts we believe without jobs these drives are bound to fail. And so it is that we continue to focus heavily on job creation and

120 metric tons per hectare, this nearly 8-foot-tall plant could be a key to future carbon-capture trading markets in arid regions… The use of Spekboom delivers the most value for money in carbon capturing terms, and it also has the most significant ecological benefits in terms of replenishing degraded areas. Unlike many arid plants, when soils are dry, spekboom can switch from the photosynthetic process that most plants in the world use to a less common and water-conserving photosynthesis pathway called “CAM”. Because of this, the carbon sequestration process in the plant is highly efficient for its environment, allowing it to thrive on only 10-11 inches (250-350 millimeters) of rain a year. Researchers also believe spekboom’s umbrella-shaped canopy allows organic material to accumulate at the base of the shrub, improving the water-holding capacity of the soil below. How Does It Work? You can choose to offset the carbon created on your tour in full, or 50% thereof by simply ticking a box on your booking form or by letting your agent know. For example for a small contribution of ZAR 150 you can let us offset you carbon footprint of a 15 to 21 day tour, or ZAR 120 for an 8 to 14 day tour or ZAR 90 for a 1 to 7 day tour. All the funds that are collected are administered by the Nomad African Trust who will manage the project in conjunction with South African National Parks as well as the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry and the Rhodes University. This project will benefit the ecological zones, the communities that are employed due to it as well as the global climate. Once you have bought your green seat you will receive an e-certificate providing you with all the details of the project as well as contact Details should you wish to receive further information.

skills development. We also target basic human needs like food, shelter and health care which, in Africa, are all too often found wanting. Another focus on our drive is to 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 rural areas. Aside from funding projects undertaken by our beneficiaries in these rural communities, the Green Seats initiative, through our planting partners, creates long term employment for the communities near the planting sites. Places Instead of the sole focus being on only the remote wild lands of Africa we tend to focus more on the urban environment and their immediate surroundings. Areas of successful tourism operations are for the most part already protected by their position in the spotlight. 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 Again, a huge amount of focus is already placed on the select few animals that generate the most interest. Although we are involved in anti-poaching initiatives and the protection of these creatures, our objective is also to assist with some of the lesser known animals in dire need of help. Our intention is to get involved in the breeding programmes and relocation of these species to their natural habitats and to restore these various regions to their former glory. One way we have been able to contribute to habitat restoration is through the Green Seats initiative.

*In addition to the fixed beneficiary projects above, Nomad African Trust selects a Western Cape based N.P.O for every quarterly payment that is made. This ensures that we do our part to contribute to the upliftment of the communities directly surrounding and effected by our operation.

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. Nomadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

20 DAYS 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 campsite, 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 adventure. 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.

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 a representation of a larger group of nomadic pastoralists. The income that this specific tribe generates from the visits goes towards the education of orphaned Himba children and assists the tribe in giving them a chance to learn about their own culture and heritage. 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.

Visiting the gorillas is a great way to support their future on earth as the money spent on permits is used for their protection. As permits granting permission to visit the gorillas are extremely limited we require flexibility in both the tour itinerary and where we actually visit them. The home of the mountain gorillas is completely at odds with man-made borders and so their range encompasses Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo). Whenever possible we choose to make use of the National Park in Uganda, but this depends on the availability of permits. Should we not obtain permits to visit the mountain gorillas in Uganda then we will inform all passengers beforehand that the tour will travel to Rwanda or DRC.

As permits granting permission to visit the gorillas are extremely limited we require flexibility in both the tour itinerary and where we actually visit them. The home of the mountain gorillas is completely at odds with man-made borders and so their range encompasses Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo).

Uhuru Peak

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 places to explore.

Featured Highlights

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. Linguistically the people of Madagascar speak Malagasy and some French, English is limited to tourist-focused areas. Madagascans are blessed with a surprisingly diverse cultural heritage that includes Austronesian, North Indian, Arab, Somali and Bantu. These sailors, explorers and traders all made Madagascar their home and created a unique and fascinating culture of their own.

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.

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 (Raggie Tooth), Hammerheads, White Tip and Black Tip Reef Sharks all congregate along the coast near Protea Banks and Aliwal Shoal.

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 migratatory whales. 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 experience, 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.

At Africa’s most southern point the Great White Sharks hunt the Cape Fur Seal and migrate through Shark Alley near Gans Bay. Although you can only cage dive with these beauties the experience of seeing one up close is
