Nomara Safaris was built on decades of experience and a simple idea: to offer a level of flexibility and care that most safari companies don’t. From your first enquiry to your final day in Africa, we handle every detail with precision. That means seamless planning, well-maintained vehicles, quality equipment, and thoughtful touches such as freshly prepared hot lunches served in the wild.
But what truly defines a safari is the guide. At Nomara Safaris, we have taken great care in building a team of exceptional guides who combine deep knowledge with a natural, easygoing approach. They know how to read the landscape, adapt to the moment, and create experiences that feel personal rather than scripted.

Honest reviews from guests who explored East Africa with Nomara Safaris
I honestly didn’t know what to expect booking a safari online, but Nomara Safaris made it so easy from the start. Our guide Muwa was calm, funny, and incredibly patient (especially when I kept asking to stop for photos 😅). We saw elephants up close and even watched a cheetah that he said was a leopard resting in the shade. Zanzibar afterwards was exactly what we needed, quiet beaches and no rush. It felt like everything was thought through without being over-planned.
What we appreciated most was how relaxed everything felt. Our guide seemed genuinely excited every time we spotted something new. We were lucky to see tree climbing lions, giraffes, and even a leopard crossing the road in front of us. The lodges were comfortable but still felt connected to nature. It didn’t feel like a tourist package — it felt personal.
Traveling with two kids (5 and 3) and my Husband made me nervous, but this turned out to be one of our best family trips ever. The guide involved the kids, explained animal tracks, and answered all their random questions. They’re still talking about the hippos. Everything felt safe and well organized without being rigid.
We wanted something private and comfortable for this trip, and that’s exactly what we got. The vehicle was spotless, the lodges were beautiful, and our guide clearly knew what he was doing. Everything just flowed — no stress, no confusion, no unnecessary fuss. It didn’t feel flashy, just well organized and thoughtfully done. A close friend of mine had done the same safari with her husband the year before and recommended Nomara Safaris to us. Now I completely understand why. I’d absolutely book with them again.
We were lucky enough to see part of the migration, which was unbelievable. Thousands of wildebeest moving across the plains — it felt unreal. Our guide positioned us perfectly without crowding other vehicles. He seemed to know the area like the back of his hand.
Gorilla trekking had been on our bucket list for years, so we chose to experience it in both Uganda and Rwanda. Bwindi was muddy and challenging, but our guide kept encouraging us throughout. Rwanda felt different, yet equally special. Seeing the gorillas up close was surreal — calm, expressive, and so human-like. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy an unforgettable experience together.
