What does Nomad do? 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.

TOURS AND SAFARISCamping and Accommodated - What’s the difference?

Camping toursOn our Camping tours you will be staying in large, 2-man canvas tents (with built in mosquito net). You will put them up and take them down, and because of the design of the tents this is a very easy task that you will quickly master. Everyone receives a camp mattress for the duration of the tour. All you need to provide is your own sleeping bag and towel.

Single supplements are available on camping tours. This means that you do not share a tent (the guides will assist you with putting it up and taking it down) and when we stay in other accommodation you will have a single room.

Accommodated toursOur Accommodated tours combine all of the outdoors and adventure that the camping trips bring, with the main difference being that you sleep in a bed rather than a tent. All you need to bring is your own towel. This accommodation varies from place to place, making use of hotels, hostels, lodge style bungalows, chalets, permanent tented safari camps and traditional huts. If you are booking one of our accommodated tours alone you are required to pay the single supplement.

Small Group ToursImagine all that space, window access and personalised attention from the guides for a surprisingly small additional cost. On average, Nomad Small Group departures are only about 15% more expensive than our regular departures. Launched in 2012, one of the unique features of the Nomad Small Group departures is that they are run on our standard vehicles. What this means is that the groups are limited to 12 passengers in a 24 seater vehicle. Read more about our Small Group tours on page 8.

FIT or Independent TravellersOur specialised FIT 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 most options and our size means we can secure fantastic rates.

Group or Charter ToursOur 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 � nd out how surprisingly affordable a private tour can be.

Dive ToursIn 2010 Nomad Adventure Tours and Lutwala Dive combined efforts to create a selection of Southern African dive tours. The spirit of this was to provide 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 tour.

With all our tours you will be looked after from the moment of departure to the moment the tour ends. Accommodation, travel, meals and diving organisation will be 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 will 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 � nd a tour that suits you. We are happy to tailor tours to suit speci� c needs or wants and will happily create a tour that meets your desired level of accommodation, travel and involvement.

OTHER SERVICESPre and Post Tour AccommodationWe 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 almost stress-free. For a full list of all the pre and post tour services, have a look at the list on page 13.

Airport TransfersNomad also offers airport transfers, which can be arranged before your tour or at the end of your tour.

TransitsOur Journey to Johannesburg transit is the cheapest way to get from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg. We’re not going to lie to you and tell you that this is the most epic adventure ever, it is merely a way to get from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg so that you can continue on to the Kruger National Park, Discover Mozambique or South African Explorer tours. For additional information on our Journey to Johannesburg, refer to page 9.

Day Tours Nomad also offers a carefully selected list of Day Tours in and around the major cities of Africa. See our website www.nomadtours.co.za for more details.

TOURS AND SAFARIS

Dear Fellow Traveller.

Welcome to our 2013 brochure. Thank you for taking the time to read through it, and for considering Nomad as your travel partner.Each year I write the brochure introductory letter. Every year I talk about the wonder and magnifi cence of Africa. Year after year, it remains true. However this year, on our 15th anniversary, I would like to take the opportunity to talk about the people.The People of Africa.The communities, companies and individuals that continue, under often trying circumstances, to captivate and enchant our

clients, and provide world class experiences to travellers from all over the planet. The spirit of Ubuntu is alive and well.The Clients of Nomad.Our agents, for continuing to support Africa and for retaining a love of this continent. Our clients, for choosing to travel to Africa, and for selecting Nomad as their travel partner. Tourism still provides more potential for the upliftment of the people, places and animals of Africa than any charity, fund or donation ever could. The legendary “Africa Bug” continues to draw travellers back, time after time, year after year. Our repeat clients are a testament to that. We will do our best to keep it that way!The Staff of Nomad.The guides, offi ce staff and workshop, who retain a commitment to delivering the fi nest adventure tours available on this continent. You all have a lot to be proud of and have my admiration. The Nomad family continues to grow.From my side, thank you. The passion and commitment that I see continues to inspire my love of Africa and keeps the fl ame burning brightly in my heart.

See you on the road!Alex RutherfordFounder and Managing Director of Nomad

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.

How do Adventure Tours work?

WHO SHOULD, AND DOES, GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOUR?Adventure Tours are for people who have a zest for life and a lust for adventure. If you have an interest in people, places, animals and adventure, then these tours are for you.

Our groups come from all walks of life, and are of various nationalities. Although there are often couples and groups of friends together, most travellers are single and the male-female mix generally works out about equal.

Experience has shown us that our adventure trips are suitable for the majority of travellers from ages 16 to 65. However, we do accept people older than 65 years because we believe age is a state of mind.

WHAT TO EXPECTEach day in Africa is new and exciting. A portion of the day is spent travelling from one place to another. The tours can cover large distances and include plenty of highlights. A typical day with us starts at sunrise, making the most of every minute. Lunches are normally informal affairs on the side of the road or a local picnic spot. Evenings are spent socialising and relaxing at camp.

Our guides do most of the work, and on a camping tour your participation in camp chores is limited to taking turns to assist with washing-up duties, putting up and taking down your tent and loading your bags. We include a camp assistant on most tours.

Vegetarians are easily catered for and are always impressed by our varied menu. Our guides can produce miracles on a camp stove. Special dietary requirements can be met by special request.

Once you have booked with Nomad we will send you a Tour Dossier and a detailed Pre-Departure Information document.

At Nomad we try to design our tours to be as flexible as possible so you can experience Africa in your own way. You can customise your itinerary by mixing and matching the adventures we offer. Tell us what you want and we will make it happen for you.

HOW TO DECIDE WHICH TOUR:Often people who are not experienced with Africa and/or Adventure tours � nd 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 � rst time visitors to Africa as it is generally an easier journey with better infrastructure. Check our highlights pages to help make your decision. Then decide between camping or accommodated options and � nally, 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.

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 � nances.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?Transport in our specialised vehicles, the services of two quali� ed guides, meals, accommodation, speci� ed activities and most National Park fees.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED?Visas, vaccinations, items of a personal nature, alcohol, drinks, snacks 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 with 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.

Why choose Nomad?Choosing the right adventure company is important for the success of your visit to Africa. It can be the difference between the trip of a lifetime or a complete nightmare. Adventure companies are not all the same.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYGreen SeatsNomad has developed “Green Seats” - You can choose to offset the carbon created on your tour by simply ticking a box on your booking form or by letting your agent know. Read more on page 7.

Nomad African TrustNomad constantly strives to “give back” to Africa. We are very aware of our impact on the environment and communities we visit. We have founded a non-pro� t Trust to preserve and uplift the people, places and animals of this continent. Read more about the Nomad African Trust on page 6.

NOMAD THE COMPANYOur ReputationWe pride ourselves on the consistently high quality of our service and product. The best endorsement for our tours is the feedback we receive from satis� ed clients - around the world our reputation has been established by word of mouth and that’s the greatest compliment we could ask for!

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.

Bush camping in the wild

Nomad’s story began over 16 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 void 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.

In those days we had one truck, 2 employees and one departure a month. Over the years we’ve grown to a � eet of around 35 vehicles, 130 staff and 50 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, ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day.

Nomad GuidesThe success of any tour always depends heavily on the passion and commitment of the guides. It is with this in mind that we recruit, train and manage our crew to the highest standards. Nomad guides are known up and down Africa as great leaders, chefs and drivers by all who come into contact with them.

Tour OperationsNomad has over 50 years collective experience ensuring we run exceptional tours that balance safety and reliability with fun and adventure, and deliver some of the best-value experiences available on the African continent.

NOMAD – THE TOURSTour ChoicesWe offer the best variety of overland tours throughout Southern and East Africa. We cover 15 countries: South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Madagascar. With our unique tour linking system, almost any combination of tours is possible. We have over 100 different route options available for you.

Tour PricesThere 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 DurationsNomad offers tours ranging from 2 to 56 days in duration. This means that we cater to people with all types of requirements in terms of time and will probably have something for everyone, no matter what their constraints are.

Tour Dates Nomad runs over 650 tours a year. Most tours run weekly or twice monthly. Our availability means that there will almost certainly be a date suitable for you to travel on. Most Nomad tours runs weekly.

Tour DirectionsMost of Nomad’s tours run in two directions, being North and South. This ensures we offer the best connections with regards to � ight and other travel options.

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

Foreign Language ToursNomad 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) or Spanish (SP) speaking crew member to act as translator.

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

Maximum PassengersUnlike a lot of competitors, all of our routes except the Cape to Vic Falls camping, Zimbabwe Rediscovered and Karoo, Kalahari & West Coast tours, have a maximum of 18 clients only. Our small groups have a maximum of 12.

“OUR VISION IS THAT OF A LAND, WHERE PEOPLE LIVE IN HARMONY WITH THE EARTH, AND THE CREATURES THAT LIVE UPON IT.”

The Nomad African Trust was established in 2008 by Alexander Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad. To our knowledge, Nomad remains the only Adventure Tour Operator who has taken this step to give back to the people, places and animals of Africa.

The Trust aims to access 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 aim to provide focused and speci� c help across these three fronts. Our goal is to effect real change by ensuring funding is spent in such a way so as to create permanent and long lasting bene� ts to our bene� ciaries.

Our ApproachIn deciding how to proceed with the vision of the Trust we had to determine how we were going to approach the multitude of problems Africa faces every day.

AND SO WE CAME UP WITH SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES.PeopleMany organisations focus on uplifting through modernization, 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 intend on focusing heavily on job creation and key skill development. We also intend focusing on basic needs. Food, shelter and health care are basic human needs and sadly, in Africa, are all too often found wanting. Another focus of our drive is 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 rural communities.

PlacesInstead of the usual sole focus on the remote wild lands of Africa we intend to also focus 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. We believe that diversity should remain one of the most treasured characteristics of this beautiful world.

AnimalsAgain, a huge amount of focus is already placed on the select few animals that generate the most interest. Our objective is to assist some of the lesser well known animals in dire need of help. We intend getting involved in the breeding and relocation of species to their natural habitats to restore the former glory of the various regions of the continent. In addition, we intend involving ourselves in anti-poaching and protection of those creatures that need it.

What is your Carbon Footprint all about? Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that signi� cantly contributes to global warming. To help combat the CO2 emissions generated on Nomad tours, The Nomad African Trust has developed a Carbon Offset project to allow travellers to offset the CO2 their trip generates. Plant growth absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and planting vegetation is a key and sustainable way to reduce unnaturally high atmospheric carbon levels caused by man. One of the best plants when it comes to carbon absorption is Spekboom (commonly known as Elephant’s Food).

How does it work? The Nomad African Trust administers all the funds collected and manages the project in conjunction with a number of planting partners. Clients can offset their trip’s carbon footprint by buying a “Green Seat” which results in the planting of Spekboom. Clients are then issued with an e-certi� cate with further information and veri� cation details. This project not only reduces global warming but also benefits local ecosystems and communities by protecting the soil, reducing water loss, improving bio-diversity and generating employment.

WHAT IS SPEKBOOM? Spekboom is an evergreen succulent shrub that can reach a height of 2,5m and occurs mainly in the South-Eastern Cape, especially around Baviaanskloof and the Addo Elephant National Park. It has enormous carbon storing capabilities and its capacity to offset harmful carbon emissions is equivalent to that of moist, subtropical forest. The use of Spekboom delivers the most value for money in carbon capturing terms, and it also has the most signi� cant ecological bene� ts in terms of replenishing degraded areas.

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. The other good news is that all our Small Group departures run on the same routes as our normal tours.

As we have been running these exact routes for the last 15 years, Nomad can assure you of a quality tour that represents the best these areas have to offer and excellent value for money, a cornerstone of all Nomad products. But the best news of all is that the Small Group tour prices are on average only 15% more expensive than regular departures, offering incredible value for money!

THE FOLLOWING ROUTES ARE AVAILABLE WITH SMALL GROUP DEPARTURES:

Cape Town to Vic FallsOur premier tour represents some of the best touring opportunities in Africa. From desolate sweltering deserts, lush waterways in the Okavango Delta, to the deafening thunder of Victoria Falls, this trip has it all.

South African ExplorerWelcome to the Rainbow Nation! South Africa is rightly renowned as a world in one country. The highlights are too numerous to mention. Suf� ce it to say, a trip to South Africa is one not to be forgotten easily.

Delta and Chobe TrailA 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 beside the majestic Victoria Falls.

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

MozambiqueThis 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.

East African safari vehicles

Not all of our tours are operated on adventure vehicles. For some of our tours we use smaller vehicles. Safari vehicles, such as the one pictured, are able to travel on much rougher terrain than the larger trucks. Unlike the trucks these vehicles are not built for long distance travel, but they are ideal for game viewing.

At Nomad, we’re VERY passionate about our vehicles! They are amongst the � nest in Africa. We have always been at the cutting edge of adventure vehicle design and our vehicles are constantly being upgraded and renovated to ensure they remain the best. We are happy to announce the acquisition of 6 new replacement trucks in 2012 and a scheduled purchase of four more replacement vehicles for 2013 ensuring the Nomad � eet leads the way into the future.

OUR EQUIPMENTSleeping under African stars on your comfortable foam mattress, in a 2-man large dome tent (with built in mosquito net), is the best way to experience the thrill of bush camping. Sitting on your camp chair around a roaring � re is the perfect way to end your day’s adventures.

OUR WORKSHOP - THE BACKBONE OF NOMADThe Nomad workshop operates out of a state of the art specialised vehicle workshop. Our trucks are fully maintained and the bodies are lovingly built in our workshop. Your safety and comfort are our � rst priority. After all, most tours cover large distances and much time is spent in the trucks, more reason to ensure they are the best.

Featured Highlights4 DAYS4 DAYS

Day 1 Kwa Madwala Game Reserve An early start from Johannesburg, we travel through the Province of Mpumalanga en route to the breathtaking Kruger National Park. This afternoon we enter the Kwa Madwala Game Reserve just south of the Kruger Park. After setting up camp we enjoy an evening game drive, look out for those shining eyes and keep your cameras ready. We will enjoy some local dancing and dinner back at camp after our game drive.

Day 2 Kruger National Park Today we start with a morning game walk before proceeding into the Kruger National Park. We enjoy an afternoon game drive from the comfort of our Nomad

Truck. On the way keep your eyes open for more wildlife. Our truck gives us a more elevated view of the park, and the ability to spot big cats and other smaller game that can be hiding in the vegetation. Optional Activities: night game drives with SANP game ranger (subject to availability).

Day 3 Kruger National Park Today we have a full day of game viewing planned in an open 4x4 vehicle. This gives you some fantastic photo opportunities, so keep your eyes open for Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Rhino and Buffalo, known as Africa’s ‘Big Five’ as well as many other species of animals and birds. Optional Activities: night game drives with SANP game ranger (subject to availability).

Day 4 Panorama Route – Johannesburg This morning we leave the Kruger National Park on our journey back to Johannesburg. We travel along the spectacular Panorama Route. Blyde River Canyon is the 3rd largest canyon in the world, with breathtaking views of formations such as God’s Window and the Three Rondavels. We also see The Bourke’s Luck Potholes, which have been gradually eroded by the Treur River. Your tour ends on arrival in Johannesburg and most groups spend this last night together at a local restaurant. Optional Activities: morning game walk with SANP, dinner in a local restaurant.

This itinerary has been written with the Activity Package included. If you wish to participate in all the activities listed, you will need to purchase this package.

Kruger National Park is home to Africa’s Big 5 as well as a multitude of other beautiful African animals, both small and large.

Day 1 Botswana – GhanziAfter meeting your guides, we have an early start and head towards Botswana and onto Ghanzi. After setting up camp we meet with a local Bushman (San) community and experience some traditional tribal dancing. Optional Activity: bushman walk.

Day 2 Maun Our journey takes us from Ghanzi towards Maun. Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta and this afternoon we will prepare for this excursion, packing small 2-night

bags. There may be an opportunity this afternoon to visit the local crocodile farm or take a scenic � ight over the Okavango Delta. Optional Activities: crocodile farm visit, scenic � ight (time permitting).

We spend 2 nights bush camping in the wilderness and, if the water level allows, we will take a mokoro (traditional canoe) trip through the waterways. We will also be going on some nature walks in the hope of seeing some wild animals in their natural habitat. Please note: If you have not purchased the Activity Package you will stay at the campsite in Maun for the following 2 nights.

Day 5 GwetaWe leave the Delta behind us and travel east to Planet Baobab. You can explore the bush around the campsite, lounge by the pool and view some of the region’s oldest Baobab trees.

Day 6 Botswana - Chobe National ParkWe travel to Chobe and this afternoon we enjoy a sunset river cruise as the animals are best spotted from the Chobe River. Elephants, Hippo, Crocodiles, Eland and many other creatures reside in Chobe so keep your cameras ready.

Day 7 Zimbabwe - Victoria FallsOn arrival in Victoria Falls town, we have time to plan the next day’s adventure activities before we visit the spectacular Victoria Falls and experience the thundering of the mighty Zambezi. An optional dinner out is a friendly way to end your tour with all the new friends you’ve made along the way. Optional Activities: Chobe morning game drive, Zambezi sunset cruise.

Day 8 Victoria FallsOf� cially your tour � nishes after breakfast but most people will spend the day white water rafting, a not-to-be-missed experience of a lifetime! Vic Falls offers many exciting alternatives such as a walk with lions or a bungee jump from the bridge that joins Zimbabwe with Zambia. Optional Activities: full day white water rafting, � ight over the falls, full day low/high water river boarding, sunset cruise, bungee jump (solo), morning/afternoon lion or elephant encounter.

The southbound tour varies slightly to the itinerary listed on this page. Please contact us, should you be interested in the southbound itinerary.


NB – It is possible to book our 2 day “Journey to Johannesburg” transit (page 9) straight after this tour, as this is one of the cheapest ways to get from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg. The transit will depart on the morning of day 8.

Optional Activity: crocodile farm visit.

Day 4/5 Okavango DeltaDuring your time in the Delta we enjoy the best nature has to offer. We go on nature walks and explore the Delta by mokoro traditional canoe (water level dependant).

“A great tour! I’m very happy with this experience. I met great people, great guides and saw all the great places in Southern Africa. A once in a lifetime experience”- Astrid

16 DAYS16 DAYSZimbabwe RediscoveredCountries Visited: South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe

Day 1 Botswana – Martins DriftThe tour begins in Johannesburg where we load up the truck before heading north towards the Botswana border. It is a long drive to Martins Drift, as we make our way through the Limpopo Province and into Botswana. Our stopover for tonight is situated on the banks of the Limpopo River. After settling in and setting up camp, our guide will give us a brie� ng on the next few days. Optional Activity: sunset game drive .

Day 2 Martins Drift - FrancistownAn early morning start, we head to Francistown, Botswana’s second largest city and the site of Southern Africa’s � rst ‘gold-rush’ back in the late 1800’s. Nowadays Francistown is a modern African city and home to many jazz-clubs and casinos making for some excellent nightlife. A large variety of Botswana bird species can be viewed whilst relaxing on the river bank.

Day 3 Hwange National ParkAt around 14650 square kilometres the Hwange National Park is the largest in Zimbabwe and home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations as well as over 100 other mammalian species and 400 different bird species. Optional Activity: open 4x4 vehicle game drive .

Day 4 Victoria FallsIn the early morning we will enjoy a game drive in the Hwange NP, after which we drive north to Victoria Falls where we will visit the Victoria Falls National Park in order to experience this magni� cent natural wonder. The local people wisely use the expression ‘the smoke that thunders’, or Musi-o-tunya, to describe the unforgettable waterfall in the Zambezi River. In the evening there are many excellent restaurants to choose from. Optional Activity: dinner out.

Day 5 Victoria FallsToday there is an entire day free to experience some of the exciting adventure activities that are possible from this tourism mecca. While the white water rafting is one of the most popular activities there are many others on offer such as: walking with lions, elephant interactions, gorge swing, micro lighting and scenic helicopter � ights.

If you are booking the 5 Day Journey to Zimbabwe tour (NJZV), your tour will start on Day 1 and end on Day 5.

Day 6 Zambia - Livingstone and Zambezi RiverToday we cross over the historical railway bridge that links Zimbabwe and Zambia at Victoria Falls. This bridge was completed in 1905 and was placed, at the request of Cecil John Rhodes, so that the spray from the falls could embrace the railway carriages as they crossed from one side to the other. We continue our journey towards the lower Zambezi national Park area.

Day 7 Lower Zambezi National Park Canoe TripToday we will begin our canoe adventure into the Lower Zambezi National Park. Starting early in the morning we will be taking the minimum of equipment necessary and will be ‘bush camping’ on an island this evening, surrounded by wildlife, including the hippo. This is a unique experience as we will be a long, long way from any form of civilisation! If you have not purchased the Activity Package you will stay at the campsite with the Nomad guides and truck during the canoe excursion.

Day 8 Lower Zambezi National ParkThis is the second day spent on the mighty Zambezi River. As we are travelling downstream with the current the physical effort required to negotiate the river is not extreme and many happy hours can be spent simply drifting and enjoying the beautiful scenery, birdlife and company. At certain times of the year it may not be possible to canoe on the river due to extreme temperatures or water levels. In this instance the 2 days normally spent on the river will be swapped for a 2-night houseboat excursion on Lake Kariba.

Day 9 KaribaWe � nish our canoe trip in the morning and will be taken by speed boat or vehicle back to the truck. We will make our way to Kariba where you will have the time to relax next to this famous lake. In the evening there is the chance to enjoy an optional sunset cruise. Lake Kariba was � lled between 1958 and 1963 following the completion of the Kariba dam. Optional Activity: sunset cruise.

Day 10 Zimbabwe – Chinhoyi CavesFrom Kariba it is not a long trip to Chinhoyi. Probably best known for cave diving, the Chinhoyi caves system is the largest publicly accessible cave system in Zimbabwe and reputably a ‘mysterious’ area. This afternoon we will visit the Chinhoyi cave.

Day 11 Harare and Chimanimani National ParkIt is a short drive from Chinhoyi to Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe, where we will stop for some shopping, lunch and exploration. Although Harare has not had a lot of positive press in the last 10 years, many will be surprised at just how safe and accessible this small, modern capital is. After lunch we will be travelling to the Eastern Highlands and the Chimanimani National Park. The Mountain range that separates Zimbabwe and Mozambique is the site of some simply spectacular hiking and scenery and with time permitting we will take a short walk to the well-known Bridal Veil Falls in the late afternoon.

Day 12 Great Zimbabwe RuinsNo visit to Zimbabwe could possibly be complete without visiting the world-famous Great Zimbabwe ruins. Dating from around the 11th century these iron-age ruins have been the source of much speculation and disagreement over the years. Built without any mortar some of the walls are up to 5 metres high and still standing after so many centuries. This site was also home to 8 carved Zimbabwe birds, the image of which is found on the Zimbabwean National Flag.

Day 13 /14 Matobo - Matopos National ParkIt is a long drive to reach Greater Matopos NP area. The next day we enjoy a full day Game drive with a local operator into the Greater Matopos NP area. We head towards the Matobo Hills where we view the Bushman Paintings, rock formations and scenery in the National Park. We will also visit the Rhodes Memorial, a place of beauty and mystery of the natural world where Cecil John Rhodes was buried more than 100 years ago.

Day 15 South Africa – Bulawayo to MessinaAfter a short visit to the Bulawayo Historical Museum we start the drive back to South Africa. We cross the border at Beitbridge, which can sometimes take a long time, and return to South Africa where we will camp at the border town of Messina.

Day 16 JohannesburgToday we leave early for the journey south along the Great North Road for our � nal destination in Johannesburg, the City of Gold. We will gradually move up from the bushveld and Baobabs of the Limpopo Province through citrus and maize � elds to the heavily populated and industrialised Highveld and Gauteng Province, the powerhouse of Africa. We will travel past Pretoria, one of South Africa’s capital cities, before arriving in Johannesburg in the late afternoon. Although this � nal night is not included in the tour most people choose to get together for a � nal meal out at one of Johannesburg’s many excellent restaurants.

If you are booking the 12 day Great Zimbabwe Explorer (NVZJ), your tour will begin on Day 5 and end on Day 16.

8 DAYS8 DAYSNMM - MACHAME ROUTEDay 1 Tanzania – MoshiMoshi is the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro and the meeting place for trekking expeditions. Today we meet and are briefed about the climb and if the weather is favourable, catch a glimpse of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain (5 895 m). If you are making your own way to Moshi, please advise us of your estimated arrival time in order to organize the brie� ng.

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. Machame Gate is at 1790m. In a short time, you will be deep within the magni� cent 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 � rst 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 acclimatise 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 NP 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 well-deserved 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) - MoshiThe � nal 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.

Day 8 MoshiAfter breakfast, you can continue with your travel plans; please let us know if you require any further transport.

Kilimanjaro TrekCountries Visited: Tanzania

KILIMANJAROLocation: 3.07 S, 37.35 EElevation: 5895metresTotal Distance of Machame Route 6-day Hike: 65km

Kilimanjaro, meaning ‘Shining Mountain’ in Swahili, is a giant stratovolcano reaching an elevation of 5895m. Other names for this volcano are Kilima Dscharo or Oldoinyo Oibor (‘White Mountain’ in Masai). It is a triple volcano, with the highest and youngest cone named Kibo. Kibo has not been active in modern times, but steam and sulfur are still emitted. At the top of the summit is a 2 ¼ km wide crater. Shira (3962m), 12-14 km to the west of Kibo, and Mawenzi (5149s) in the east, are older cones that make up Kilimanjaro.

The highest point on Kibo is Uhuru Peak, one of the Seven Summits, and the highest point in Africa. The summit was � rst reached by the Marangu army scout, Johannes Kinyala Lauwo, who climbed it nine times before realising there was a crater. Lauwo served as a guide for the � rst ascent by non-indigenous climbers - German Hans Meyer and Austrian Ludwig Purtscheller, on October 6, 1889. Johannes’ Notch is named after Lauwo. In 1989 Lauwo was presented with a house at Ashira Marangu by the West German government, in recognition of his role on the Meyer expedition. His relative, Trilas Lauwo (1952- ) was the � rst Tanzanian woman to reach the summit via the Mweka route in 1972.

Due to the equatorial location as well as immense height, climbers can experience almost every climate type on earth during the trek to the top. Kilimanjaro is also the highest point in the world to be covered by a GSM mobile phone network. The best service is provided by Vodacom.

Mount Kilimanjaro has inspired many artists, musicians and writers. It was the inspiration and backdrop for Ernest Hemingway’s classic short story The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1936). He also wrote a non-� ction account of his safari experiences in the 1950’s, posthumously published as Under Kilimanjaro (2005). Mount Kilimanjaro is mentioned in Toto’s 1982 hit, Africa (“I know that I must do what’s right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti”).

NAMK - MARANGU ROUTEDay 1 Tanzania – MoshiToday we meet in Moshi - if you are � ying in to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), we can arrange an airport transfer for you. If you are making your own way to Moshi please advise your estimated arrival time in order to organize the brie� ng. If the weather is favourable we might get a � rst glimpse of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro (5895 m). When you arrive at the hotel you will have some time to relax. One of our representatives 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 (2700 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 � lling breakfast before we climb through forest and moorland to the Horombo Huts (3700 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 (5149 m), one of Kilimanjaro’s peaks. Tonight we stay at the Horombo Hut.

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 (4700 m). Again, it is roughly 12 km to our destination. The � rst 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.

Day 6 Kilimanjaro National Park – Uhuru Peak (Summit 5895m)Today is ‘The Big Day’ – the summit stage. Many hours before dawn we begin the � nal trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro. At sunrise we reach Gillman’s Point (5681m) 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 (5895 m) we can celebrate the accomplishment of reaching the ‘Roof of Africa’. The route 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.

Day 7 Kilimanjaro National Park - MoshiOur journey back to Marangu Gate is about 18 km, a steady descent down through moorland to Mandara Hut (2700m) where a hot lunch is prepared for us. If you conquered the summit you will collect your summit certi� cate at the gate. Green for Gillman’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 – Tour EndsAfter breakfast the tour ends, please let us know if you require any further transport.

Kilimanjaro Trek

Countries Visited: Tanzania

NMM – MACHAME ROUTE (CAMPING)This is one of the most popular routes at the moment, but also one of the more dif� cult ones. Compared with Marangu, the days are longer and the hikes are steeper. You will sleep in supplied tents at designated campsites, and meals are enjoyed outdoors or in large dining tents. Machame is a rewarding route as the scenery is very beautiful and varied. Climbers are rewarded with beautiful views of Shira Plateau and Barranco Wall.

The Machame Route takes you high to Lava Tower (4 640 m/15 220 ft) on day 3 then brings you down for an overnight at Barranco Camp (3 950 m/12 960 ft). This intermediate ascent and descent is the secret to a successful acclimatisation, and is the reason that this route has a high success rate.

NAMK – MARANGU ROUTE (ACCOMMODATED)Marangu is one of the easiest routes and the only one that offers sleeping huts in basic dormitory style accommodation. It approaches Mt Kilimanjaro from the South-East and is the oldest and most established route. Many favour the Marangu Route due to the gradual slope and direct path.

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 (4700 m). Again, it is roughly 12 km to our destination.

Day 1 EntebbeYou will meet up with your guides in Entebbe. This day is set aside for everyone to explore the area. Most people take an optional day trip to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary of Ngamba Island. This non-pro� t eco-friendly project was set up in 1998 to care for orphaned chimpanzees. Optional Activities: Ngamba chimpanzee excursion, visit the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, dinner out.

Day 2 Entebbe - Lake BunyoniLake Bunyoni is a small but attractive lake with steep sides and abundant birdlife. Ringed by mountains, the lake is best known for its dense Otter population and stunning scenery. We make use of this beautiful spot to relax the night before the � nal drive to the gorillas.

Day 3/4 Gorillas (Lake Bunyoni)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.As permits granting permission to visit the gorillas are extremely limited we require � exibility 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. On your free day in Bunyoni you will have the opportunity to participate in certain optional activities. You can embark on a boat ride to the community of the Batwa (pygmies) who stay in the islands adjacent to the lake to observe their social lifestyle, behaviour and be entertained by their cultural performances. You can also experience the local cultures on the Buhoma village walk or explore the area on a mountain bike. Optional Activities: Buhoma village walk, visit to the Batwa (Pygmies) tribe, mountain biking, Bwindi forest trail, Buhoma trail.

Day 5/6 Queen Elizabeth National ParkLeaving Lake Bunyoni, we venture to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we will spend the next 2 nights. Many game species can be found in this wetland park as well as the (elsewhere elusive) giant forest hog and the legendary tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha Sector. We will enjoy an included 4x4 game drive on day 6 through the National Park. Optional Activities: Kasinga Channel sunset cruise, chimpanzee trekking at Lake George.

Day 7 EntebbeToday we drive back to Entebbe where our tour will come to an end.

NB: The itinerary is � exible and can be changed without notice in order to accommodate the best possible viewing of the gorillas. The permit price to visit the gorillas can also change without notice and is currently between USD505 and USD605 per person. In the event that we cannot obtain permits for Uganda, we will trek in Rwanda and a higher permit price may apply.

Day 33/34/35 ZanzibarA local ferry will take us from Dar es Salaam (where we leave the truck) to Zanzibar. We take a transfer to the northern part of the island where we will spend our time relaxing on the beach. On the 3rd day, we head south to Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, where we will spend the night. Here we have time exploring the historical and unique architecture. There are also spice and seafood markets to be explored. Optional Activities: lunch & dinner, motorbike hire, spice tour, walking city tour, swimming with dolphins, scuba diving, snorkelling etc. Please note: If you have not purchased the Activity Package you will stay at the accommodation in Dar es Salaam for the following 3 days.

We continue on to Lushoto, the major town and district centre, albeit small, in the Usambara Mountains, halfway between the coast and the parks. Here you will have the chance to hike in the surrounding area, or just relax.


Day 38/39/40 Serengeti and Ngorongoro ExcursionThese 4 days are set aside for the optional 3-night camping excursion into the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. This area has one of the most densely inhabited large animal populations in Africa. On the � rst day from Karatu to Ngorongoro, there will be time for visiting the Oldupai gorge and museum. The optional Serengeti excursion is in open topped 4x4 safari vehicles in order to tackle the challenging side roads in the parks. For those not going to the parks, take this chance to absorb some of the fascinating local culture.

AFRICA – YOUR WAY!Not many people realise that it’s quite affordable and practical to arrange your own, customised adventure for family and friends.

Believe it or not, if you can get together a group of around 10 or more friends and family it may be possible to do an adventure tailored to your requirements for a price similar to the normal scheduled tour costs.

Our groups department, with over 15 years of experience, is extremely knowledgeable and ef� cient at building tailor made itineraries and adventures, customising your trip to � t your time and budget constraints.

Seasonal demand places enormous pressure on pricing. If you can travel outside of our peak months of July, August and September you can save yourselves a small fortune.

DID YOU KNOW?In addition to running private trips Nomad also works hand in hand with many large tour companies to operate their various products. Our ground handling experience is unrivalled in the adventure tour market enabling us to cater to all requirements. From standard tours and FIT clients to special interest groups and educational tours – we do the lot.

The � exibility of our groups department means we can operate any trip, from 2 to 5 star, varying accommodation between camping or accommodated, and even transport to suit your requirements. Our � eet of specialised overland vehicles is supplemented with coaches, Sprinters and 4x4 vehicles.

WHY NOT DESIGN YOUR OWN TOUR?
