Our Nomads on Tour
There is so much excitement about our Zimbabwe Tour and our new Karoo, Kalahari and West Coast Tour and we can’t wait to share it with you!
One of our consultants, Chris du Preez travelled on the Zimbabwe Tour in September this year and if you’d like to see some great pictures from his tour, please have a look at his blog here
Tosca Korver, our Operations Manager, did a reconnaissance mission – it was bloody and gory – to make sure that the destinations on the Karoo, Kalahari and West Coast tour were up to Nomad standards. She came back with some pretty “epic” tales! Don’t miss this blog, it is hysterically funny! Read it here.
