The real Uganda experience
Nomad Africa organised for us the best introduction to Uganda with its great nature and sceneries, impressive wildlife, mild climate and above all the fantastic people. Some tips for interested travellers : use the plane for the longer distances, avoid the tourist trap for the chimp walk in Kibale and open yourself to the fantastic ugandan people.

Amazing
Our trip was simply fantastic, and we would highly recommend Nomad!
Tailor made planning - Since our first contact Lizzie would make sure we receive proposals which were tailor made to our needs / wishes (both locations and budget wise) to ensure a great experience for our family. Also, the team was super supportive and patient while we decided on the route and lodges and changed a few time.
Plan was well thought through for a family with 2 teenager and I can say we could clearly benefit form an agent being on site in Kenia.
We absolutely loved the places and the warmth of the people we met in our lodges (far away from busy camps - felt like home), always had the feeling we were not a number - we encountered mainly no other jeeps during our safari and the busy lodges even during high season and could enjoy plenty of wildlife. Also, guides were very knowledgeable.
Plan and logistics, incl. all internal flights were well thought through (make sense to see Laikipia first and Mara thereafter and also the safari series to Enkewa camp).
We also really appreciated the proactive response whenever there was a question from our side during our staying in Kenya, and the whatsapp chat works great and all was well taken care of.
So I will definitely recommend Nomad to friends and will do via safari booking, it was always very pleasant discussing the plan with you, flexibility in submitting different proposal and transparency and great execution!
thank you, Lizzie, Ann and Nomad team!

Nomad was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable.
Purple Nomad Africa helped organize our family vacation to Kenya. They organized two safaris (Masai Mara and Ol Lentille) and a trip to Lamu. All arrangements were perfect. The accommodations were top-notch, food excellent and all staff great. Lizzie and her team worked within our budget to plan a perfect holiday. They were patient with us as we considered the various hotel/lodge options. The service was also excellent - Maxwell and Peter were very dependable and drove us around town safely and on-time.

Nomad Travel is an elite concierge service. They are the best I have ever experienced.
Much of my life has been spent on a plane away from my family. It seems exciting but can be very complicated and exhausting at times. It is not often I get to experience travel with my wife and daughter so it is very important to me that my family feels the luxury and thrill that travel can bring. Purple Nomad Travel provided caring detail in preparations for our trip and their incredible quickness in responding to my questions 9000 miles away. They quickly understood what I was looking for and from that point on delivered the plan as if I had done everything myself. One can only do that with intimate knowledge of the industry and the clients needs. With pure confidence I will refer Purple Nomad Travel to everyone whether for pleasure of business.

Shawn was extremely knowledgeable and understanding, & continuously available to manage everything.
I recently worked with Nomad Africa to plan a wonderful safari experience for my visiting parents in the Masai Mara, Kenya. The tour was well-organized, with excellent attention to detail; our travel booking guide took the time to meet with me and understand the needs and desires of my parents as she planned the perfect 3-day excursion for them. She was also excellent at finding great rates and tailoring the trip to our budget and my parents dream safari.
Accommodations are serene, glamorous and immersed in the natural surroundings. Through Nomad Africa's connections, the guides ensure incredible wildlife sightings, including the Big Five. The cultural experience with the Maasai community is also a unique touch.
What set Nomad Africa apart in planning this experience is their passion for creating authentic experiences. I highly recommend them for a fantastic safari adventure in the Masai Mara, and will likely use them again in the future as I plan other trips with my family.
Thanks for making my parents dream safari come true!

Amazing Service
The Nomad team fully understood the kind of trip we were looking for and executed it to perfection.
We loved every place they recommended we stay in and the whole itinerary was great - from safari, to a lake stay in Naivasha, to the beach in Lamu and a few days exploring Nairobi too.
