Note from Bert :
Tarangire National Park is a little gem in the northern Tanzania safari circuit. Less well known than its big brother, the Serengeti, Tarangire boasts the next greatest concentration of wildlife after that magnificent area. The herds of elephant and buffalo are surprisingly big here, often numbering in the hundreds. There is also a great variety of plains game including giraffe, eland, impala and zebra to name but a few. Of course, this also makes for perfect cat territory and we’ve often quietly observed large prides of healthy looking lion and been privileged to see a few leopard during our exploits here.
The park is famous for its huge number of elephants and baobabs. Visitors to the park can expect to see good numbers of resident zebra and wildebeest addition to the less common animals. Other common animals include waterbuck, giraffe and olive baboons.

Note from Bert :
If you can overlook the presence of just one too many minibus in the high season months Ngorongoro Crater can live up to its reputation as a Garden of Eden, or a Shangri-La of wildlife. Ngorongoro Crater is one of those exceptional natural places on earth where reality meets and sometimes exceeds expectation. Vague images that may have formed in one’s mind over many years of anticipation are instantly reframed and focused, upon your first view of the crater, from the top of the descent road. Indeed, Ngorongoro Crater belongs squarely in that rather over-crowded pantheon of 'natural wonders of the world'.
Here, in an area of just about 10 miles square, you essentially have a microcosm of practically all the natural habitats of East Africa: lakes, marshes, rivers, grassy plains, woodland, forest and hills. For such a small area, the crater (more correctly a caldera), is extremely productive and as a result it sustains large numbers of an amazing variety of animals and birds.
Word of caution: Ngorongoro Crater is very popular and during some months of the year – notably July through September – it can get a little too busy for its own good. Omit it if the presence of too many other vehicles are going to be upsetting to you - or consider traveling in a less busy time like March through May & early June.

Accommodations
Serengeti Safari Camp Kogatende
This is Nomad Tanzania’s pioneering mobile camp that moves seasonally to be in the best possible location to witness the great migration herds; still doing it in East African tented style with migration-chasing adventures.
The camp strikes a balance between comfort and mobility. Camp life is epitomised by early morning tea delivered to your tent, gin and tonics around the campfire, meals shared around a communal table and hot safari bucket showers before retiring to a cosy bed. Days are spent out in search of the herds and accompanying predators, possibly with a picnic breakfast or lunch.

Rooms
Meru-Style En-Suite Tents
Nomad have maintained the original pioneering feel of the camp and you can be assured of a comfortable bed, a hot shower and a flush toilet (they operate on environmentally friendly principles and therefore use eco-flush loos which use very little water).
There's a spacious bedroom and dressing area, with a sink and big jugs of cold water, and hot provided in the morning and evening or whenever you need it. The safari-style bucket shower is en-suite, reached through a flap at the rear of the tent, as is the toilet.
The beds are comfy and made up with fresh linen and soft pillows. There are chairs on the verandah where you can relax and enjoy the unfettered view of Africa before you.

Inclusions
Fully Inclusive - Bed, All Meals, Fees, Activities as specified
All Local Brands (Spirits, Wine and Beers)

Activities & Interests
Game Drives in search of Migration. It is always recommend that you consider a private car and guide so there are no limits to your game viewing – you can leave camp at dawn with a picnic lunch, and return at last light. Or you can take morning and evening drives returning to camp for lunch in between. The whole structure of the day is deliberately designed to cater for each person’s individual interests. And as you wont be sharing the vehicle with strangers, you’ll be able to indulge your own interests…without having to endure other peoples'. That said, there is the option to have a great value game package which includes a shared morning and evening game drive each day, still with the same exceptional guides.

Note from Bert :
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s largest and most famous park at 5700 square miles. It is unequaled for its beauty and contains more than three million large mammals spread over the vast endless plains. It is here at certain times of the year that the breathtaking spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration, where one and a quarter million wildebeest trek in columns of up to 25 miles long in search of grazing and water, occurs. It is also famous for its huge lion population and is one of the best places on the continent to see them and other predators such as cheetah and hyena. Most of the Serengeti is a vast open plain broken down by rocky outcrops with patches of acacia savannah & savannah woodland. Nomad's Serengeti Safari Camp is a nicely appointed 'semi-mobile' camp which moves from one location to another every few months, in order to stay close to the anticipated movement of the wildebeest herds. Compared with a permanent camp like Lamai Serengeti, the appeal of Serengeti Safari Camp is the close proximity to nature, with sounds like contact calls of the wildebeest and the iconic braying of the zebras being heard often, at night.

Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, only a few miles from where the wildebeest cross the Mara River. For roughly a quarter of the year, between late July and October, this is where you'll find the migration.

Note from Bert :
Nomad Tanzania's Lamai Serengeti camp is as good as it gets in terms of all-round comfort (luxurious but not opulent or ostentatious), location (close to Mara River for possible wildebeest crossing) and diversity of animals. Barring unforeseen weather-related issues (such as drought) the wildebeest migration usually is to be found in the northern Serengeti and Masai Mara from July onward. Plus the Lamai area is exceptionally good for big cats; on one day there a couple of years ago we saw lions, leopard and cheetah all on the same day. So even when the migration is not around, the area is well worth visiting for its resident wildlife. None of the big cats move away as they are territorial and there is always something worthwhile to see on every game drive.
