Unforgettable Safari Experience with Nomadic Essential Travel
My wife, our toddler, and I recently returned from an unforgettable safari through Kenya and Tanzania, and it’s safe to say this trip will remain etched in our memories forever.
This was my second safari in Tanzania, but my wife’s first, and from the moment we reached out to Nomadic Essential Travel, we knew we were in good hands. Their responsiveness was immediate, and their friendly, professional team made us feel comfortable every step of the way. No question was too small, and even as we tweaked the itinerary, it was clear that they were dedicated to making this journey a once in a lifetime experience.
The accommodations they arranged for us were not only eco-friendly but also cosy and welcoming. Perfect after a day of exploring. We had an amazing guide, Sebastian, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a fantastic sense of humour. Our son, who’s a bit particular, took to him right away, which is no small feat!
We were fortunate to have two guides, one for our time in Kenya and another for Tanzania. Mwajuma, our Tanzanian guide, was incredibly easy to communicate with, and together, they ensured that we saw the best of both countries' wildlife and cultures. From spotting animals to learning about the rich traditions and hospitality of both nations, every moment felt special.
Both Kenya and Tanzania are breathtakingly beautiful, each with its own unique charm. The people are so warm and welcoming, making this adventure even more remarkable. My wife was the first to say it, this trip was worth every moment and penny and I couldn’t agree more.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nomadic Essential Travel for anyone looking to embark on an African safari. They deliver an experience you won’t regret!
Asante Sana!!

Christine is a warm, dedicated, and experienced tour guide who specializes in creating unforgettable
Through November 2024, my partner and I went on the most romantic and unforgettable trip, all thanks to Nomadic Essential Travel. Our adventure unfolded over the weekends of November, starting on the 2nd and ending on the 24th. From the wild beauty of Ol Pejeta Conservancy to the breathtaking landscapes of Samburu, and finally, to the dreamy beaches of Diani, every moment was magical. Christine, the planner extraordinaire, made everything feel seamless, balancing adventure, relaxation, and love.
Our journey began on the first weekend of November (2nd-3rd) with a scenic drive to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. We stayed in cosy, luxurious lodges nestled in the heart of the wild. The game drives were thrilling, and seeing rhinos, lions, and other incredible wildlife up close was unforgettable. On Saturday evening, we sat together, watching the golden sunset paint the savannah in warm hues. It was a serene, heartwarming moment that helped us connect on a deeper level away from the hustle of daily life.
On the second weekend (9th-10th), we traveled to Samburu, a destination of rugged beauty and charm. The landscape was stunning, filled with unique wildlife like the Grevy’s zebra and Somali ostrich. Christine made this part of the trip unforgettable by organizing a romantic bush dinner under the stars on Saturday night. The clear sky, lit with countless stars, felt magical as we dined and shared stories. Sunday was all about relaxing and exploring Samburu’s peaceful beauty, filled with laughter and meaningful moments.
The third weekend (16th-17th) was a highlight as we traveled to the coast using the SGR (Standard Gauge Railway) to Mombasa. The train journey was an adventure in itself, offering stunning views of the **Kibwezi Plains** and the expansive **Tsavo National Park**. We were captivated by the sight of elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife roaming freely as the train gently rolled through the landscapes. The scenic beauty outside our window, combined with the quiet moments shared onboard, made the journey incredibly special.
Upon arriving in Mombasa, we continued to Diani Beach, where the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters welcomed us. Our beachfront resort was a slice of paradise, offering peace and luxury. We spent our days exploring marine life through snorkeling, taking glass-bottom boat tours, and walking hand-in-hand along the pristine shoreline. Saturday evening was unforgettable as we enjoyed a romantic sunset dhow cruise, watching the sky turn shades of orange and pink. Every moment felt like it was crafted just for us.
As November came to a close, we couldn’t stop marveling at how perfectly Christine had planned every detail. She ensured we felt Africa’s beauty in every experience and helped my partner, who is from the Pearl of Africa, appreciate why Kenya is called the Pride of Africa. This journey not only gave us beautiful memories but also brought us closer together, deepening our love in ways we never expected.
If you’re looking for a trip that combines love, adventure, and Kenya’s breathtaking scenery, we wholeheartedly recommend Nomadic Essential Travel. Christine and her team are experts at creating magical experiences. Thank you, Christine, for making November 2024 a month of unforgettable love, beauty, and connection!

Wonderful
We just returned from a 4-day safari with Nomadic Essential Travel to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and we couldn’t be happier. From the start, the communication was outstanding. They were quick to respond to our emails, answering all of our questions with patience and clarity. Every step of the booking process was easy, and we were reassured every time we reached out.
They picked us up from our residency, we were greeted by our friendly driver, who ensured we felt at home right away. The safari itself was everything we hoped for. Masai Mara delivered amazing wildlife, including a thrilling lion sighting just meters from our jeep. The beauty of Lake Nakuru was a completely different experience, with thousands of flamingos lining the shores and incredible birdlife.
Our guide Sebastian was fantastic, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and very attentive to our interests. The accommodations were comfortable, with excellent food and great service. We’re so glad we chose this itinerary to experience both the savannah and the stunning lake. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari adventure, we highly recommend Nomadic Essential Travel.

UNFORGETABLE WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE!
Our 5-day safari with Nomadic Essential Travel was the perfect combination of adventure and serenity. From the moment we first reached out, the communication was smooth and effortless. Every email and question was attended to without delay, and we always felt well informed and reassured. The team answered all our queries with patience and thoroughness, making the entire booking process seamless.
We started at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where we had the privilege of seeing the rare rhinos up close. The peaceful atmosphere of Ol Pejeta set the tone for an incredible trip. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly at the airport by our driver, who made sure we were comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire journey.
The experience only got better as we moved on to Samburu National Park. The landscape there was stunning with its rugged beauty, and we had the chance to see the unique "Samburu Special Five" Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, and the gerenuk. Our guide was fantastic, making sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each park. Both lodges were excellent, with friendly staff and delicious meals.
This safari was the perfect blend of wildlife and scenery, and Nomadic Essential Travel ensured that every detail was taken care of, making it a truly unforgettable journey.
