Nomad Tanzania was built on a belief that exceptional safaris must go hand in hand with responsibility – towards people, wildlife, and wild places. Across its camps and regions, Nomad partners with grassroots organisations through the Nomad Conservation Fund, which channels guest contributions and Nomad’s support into community and conservation projects.
Nomad Conservation Fund: Established in 2007, the Fund provides finance, logistics, and advice to grassroots organisations working in education, healthcare, and conservation. Guests can visit supported projects or donate directly.
Supporting Local Education & Healthcare: Partner organisations, with help from the Fund, deliver school sponsorships, classroom builds, clean water provision, and healthcare outreach – including maternal health support in Mahale and Tarangire.
Conservation Partnerships: Through the Fund, Nomad contributes to work by the Frankfurt Zoological Society (Katavi & Mahale), Ruaha Carnivore Project (Ruaha), and Honeyguide Foundation (Tarangire & Serengeti), helping fund anti-poaching patrols, predator conservation, and human-wildlife conflict mitigation.
Local Employment & Guiding: Over 95% of staff are Tanzanian, many from neighbouring communities. Nomad also runs its own guide training programme to build careers in conservation and tourism.
Eco-Design & Footprint: Camps run on solar power, use bucket showers and eco loos, avoid single-use plastics, and are built from natural materials. Seasonal camps like Serengeti Safari Camp and Chada Katavi are dismantled annually, leaving no trace.
Chimpanzee Research & Protection: Greystoke Mahale supports the Mahale Mountains Chimpanzee Project, one of the world’s longest-running primate research programmes.
By choosing Nomad, guests contribute to a wider effort to safeguard Tanzania’s wild spaces and empower the communities living alongside them.

Greystoke, Mahale
Set on the remote shores of Lake Tanganyika, Greystoke Mahale offers access to one of Africa’s most isolated and extraordinary wilderness areas.
This is a safari defined by rarity and immersion, centred on guided chimpanzee trekking, forest exploration and time spent along the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Greystoke Mahale is located within Mahale Mountains National Park, a vast and largely untouched landscape where forested mountains rise directly from the shores of Lake Tanganyika. The park is best known for its habituated chimpanzee population, with guided treks through the forest offering the opportunity to observe these primates in their natural environment.
Beyond chimp trekking, the setting allows for a slower, more varied rhythm. Time is spent exploring forest trails, swimming and kayaking in the clear waters of the lake, and enjoying the sense of isolation that comes with being far from roads and settlements. Wildlife sightings are complemented by the dramatic scenery and the scale of the landscape itself.
Operated by Nomad Tanzania, Greystoke reflects the same guiding standards and thoughtful approach found across their camps, delivering an experience that prioritises depth, patience and a strong connection to place in one of Tanzania’s most remarkable locations.

Serengeti Safari Camp, Serengeti
Operating as a fully mobile camp, Serengeti Safari Camp relocates several times a year to follow the Great Migration as it moves through different regions of the Serengeti. This flexibility allows the camp to remain close to large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra, as well as the predators that follow them, without relying on a single fixed location.
The camp is traditionally styled and intentionally simple, reflecting the classic East African safaris of earlier decades. Accommodation is comfortable and well considered, but the focus remains firmly on time spent in the field, early starts, full days of exploration and evenings in camp shaped by the day’s sightings.
Operated by Nomad Tanzania, Serengeti Safari Camp reflects a long-standing commitment to thoughtful guiding, low-impact camp operations and a safari experience that prioritises wildlife, timing and immersion over permanence.

Kusini, Serengeti
Kusini Serengeti operates in a quiet, little-visited region of the southern Serengeti, an area that comes alive between January and March when large herds of wildebeest and zebra gather to calve. This seasonal concentration of prey attracts high levels of predator activity, offering compelling wildlife viewing across wide, open plains.
The camp is deliberately simple and low-key, allowing the landscape and wildlife to take centre stage. Game drives focus on the open plains, where visibility is excellent and encounters often unfold in full view, without the need for long drives or dense vegetation.
