The outcome of this heady mix of culture, style, comfort and wilderness, is one of the most amazing camps you will ever see! Certainly the most attractive of the mobile camps working in the Serengeti eco-system, Nduara is a breath of fresh air, offering a unique style yet still focussing on what Nomads do best authentic safari! The guiding is (as always expected from Nomads) exceptional and with only 6 rooms the remoteness, privacy and exclusivity cannot be beaten. Overall, this is a truly superb camp, especially for those wanting to stay away from the crowds and focus on walking safari and the cultures that live alongside the Serengeti. However, the camp is very seasonal for the migration so must be booked with care if the migration is what you are searching for.

Nomad Nduara Camp - The Detail
Designed to celebrate nomadic cultures around the world; the Mongolian Gers or Yurts, and Tanzanias own Maasai bomas were the inspiration for Nomad Tanzanias new Serengeti camp. The 12 bed yurt camp has replaced Loliondo Safari Camp, and continues to move between north & south Loliondo (the eastern boundary of the Serengeti) to give clients the best of what this stunning area has to offer.
From December to June, the camp is located in the open plains of Piyaya, & partners with the village community. This area is bordered by the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Gol Mountians, and Sanjan Gorge. Here, resident game is excellent, and the migration will periodically pass through the area. From mid-June to December the camp partners with the Olosokwan village community in the north Loliondo area. Bordering Kenyas Maasai Mara to the north and the Serengeti National Park to the west, this area also offers a great mix of resident game, and is excellent walking country with a dramatic scenery of rock kopjes and woodlands. The emphasis in both these areas is on walking safaris, and night drives, neither of which are possible with the Serengeti itself, and also on cultural visits with the Maasai.
The camp itself consists of six large yurts, with adjoining yurt and separate lounge/library yurt. Each accommodation yurt has its own en-suite bathroom - attached to the back of the main sleeping area - with traditional safari bucket showers. The yurts have been designed to be as cool as possible during the day, and have wrap-around shade net windows with flaps that can be rolled up or down. There is also a traditional open wheel in the centre of the roof (in Mongolian gers this is where the chimney of the fireplace would be located). This helps to keep the yurt feeling open and airy. There is a canvas cap that covers the wheel at night, or in bad weather.
