    We did the 19 day tour South African explorer with Nomad and just like the first time in 2010 I traveled with them there is only one comment possible Great. Not only was the tour perfect but the tour guides Goodnes and Dennis did their job in an exceptionally passionate way.

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      We are actually looking for travel August 2025. Really just checking if you offer accommodation for 3 people travelling together please.

    • Nomad Africa Adventure ToursOperatorWritten June 2024

      If you mean triple room it will be on request from our suppliers as not all suppliers have the facilities to assist with triple rooms for adults, but we can request it and it will be subject to availability upon booking. Some properties might be able to assist and some perhaps not but we can definitely request it once you ready to book. But we do the tour in both camping and accommodated option.

    Asked on September 2nd, 2022

    1. Are the camps for "Camping / Twin Share" vs "Camping / Single Supplement" on the same type of camps at the same campsites? 2. "Camping" vs "Accommodated" - so "Accommodated" is a hotel or hostel room for every night, instead of actual camps and the campsite? 3. I assume accommodated rooms have wifi and electricity. Do the camps have wifi and electricity as well? Is there a big difference in wifi speed between camps and accomodated 4. Do you get bit by mosquitoes less when you stay in camps instead of accommodated? 5. If I select " Accommodated", does that mean I do not need to bring any sleeping bag?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Nomad Africa Adventure ToursOperatorWritten September 2022

      1. Yes both camping and accommodated stay at the same property (so the group dont split). 2. Correct yes - accommodated is in rooms/permanent tents and camping is camp in tents. 3. There is electricity yes, but not necessarily always wifi - if there is wifi it might also not always be free to use and you might have to pay for usage. 4. No I would say is same say - although majority if not all the properties have mosquito nets - they do have a way of slipping through, but the tents "door" and "window" also act as mosquito nets. 5. Correct yes - for the accommodated tour you do not need to bring a sleeping bag.

    Price / Availability
    • Nomad Africa Adventure ToursOperatorWritten August 2022

      No the fee for the trekking is not included in the price. The price for the gorilla permit is USD730 additionally to the tour price. There is wifi along the way - it might unfortunately not always be free (so you will have to pay for usage) and connections are not always so great but there will be some spots along the way where there is available (but not everyday).

    Brian

    Asked on July 24th, 2022

    do I need a visa for Kenia and Uganda and could you please tell me where I can apply for a tourist visa? And is there anything else I need to pay attention to?

    Visa
    • Nomad Africa Adventure ToursOperatorWritten July 2022

      Arranging VISAS is not our speciality and due to this we do not always have the most updated information as these regulations change regularly. I suggest that you contact a Visa specialist who will be able to provide accurate information or alternatively check with the local embassy. We do allow for our clients to get their visas at the borders, but only if your nationality allows it. Best would be to check with your local embassy or maybe a local travel agent to advise.

      The tour will depart @ 07h00 the morning of the 8th from Hotel Boulevard in Kenya and will end on the 21st at the same hotel. We do not advise that clients book flights the same day the tour end/start as anything can happen that you are delayed.
