Our family of staff is core to our success, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such a special bunch of folk at Nomad. In a business like ours there are very many cogs that keep the wheel turning, and we think it is important that the background folk are never taken for granted. We want to make sure stories are heard, achievements are recognised, and that our team have every opportunity they deserve to climb within the company. We are endlessly inspired by them, and we are delighted to be able to share them and their stories with you.

Pius is an ex-poacher who grew up on the boundaries of the Serengeti. In the absence of education, he turned to a dangerous life supplying the bush meat trade.

Askari and local ambassador at Lamai

Amos grew up in a village called Mbilikili. Life was challenging and poaching was often the main way of life. Amos seized an opportunity to join Nomad and is now one of many, empowered to give back to their communities.

Built on one of the most magnificent sites in the northern Serengeti, the Kogakuria Kopje, Lamai overlooks the area’s rolling grasslands – through which the great migration pours from July to October.

In the entire park, there is not a single road, so your entire experience will be on foot. This is a wholly unique wilderness and a long way off the beaten track. But the lake, the beaches, the extraordinary forest, and of course the chimpanzees all make it a journey well worth undertaking.

Get up close and personal with our genetic cousins at Greystoke Mahale. Perched treehouse-like on the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika, it’s your base for tracking the fascinating troops of chimps that occupy the emerald Mahale Mountains.

Low-impact Entamanu is set slightly apart, but close enough to have astonishing views into the crater bowl and the Serengeti behind (the name means “circle” in the Masai language).

You might say the 20-year-old Nomad Tanzania knows this corner of the world more intimately than most—which might explain how their next venture is the first to secure a previously untapped viewpoint. Six canvas bungalows, lined up along the Ngorongoro Crater Rim, feature unprecedented vistas of both the crater floor sunrises and Serengeti sunsets.
