Hi
,
Continuing in the musical tracks of our previous truck name's heritage is Marvin. I heard it on the grapevine and Lets get it on, being just two of the legacies
he left us. Our tribute to Marvin Gaye includes his pioneering
independence which resulted in him breaking free of the restrictive
Motown record label monopoly. It is this desire to be free that we wish to unlock in each traveller.

Green
Seats
Responsible travel is all about keeping
your impact on the environment you are enjoying as low as possible.
In order to help you travel this way on your African holiday, Nomad
has introduced Green Seats on all tours.
How does it work?
You can
choose to help offset the carbon created on your tour by simply ticking a box on your booking form or by letting
your agent know. For example for a small contribution of ZAR 150, you
can let us offset your carbon footprint of a 15 to 21 day tour. All the
funds collected are administered by the Nomad African Trust
who will manage the project in conjunction with South African
National Parks as well as the Department of Water Affairs and
Forestry.

Nomad
World Cup 2010
It will be business as usual for Nomad during the 2010 FIFA Football
World Cup period. With no price increase and no surcharges it is as
affordable as ever to travel with Nomad during this period. Flights to
South Africa are going to be more difficult during that month (11 June
to 12 July) so if you cannot find a flight in that period then May and
August will also be ideal travel months. Some tourists may be put
off by what they think will be a really busy period yet we foresee some
excellent last-minute as well as more advanced specials being offered. Despite all the hype, South Africa is a huge country and
Nomad is not limited to only South Africa. East African tours are
another excellent option. |

2010 - Mozambique all year
around!
The Nomad 2010 Tour schedule is
remaining mostly unchanged from the 2009 schedule. The 14-day
Discover Mozambique Tour will now be operating 12-months per year
instead of closing over the rainy season between December and March.
Although the whole idea of 'rainy season' may not sound that
appealing, there has been great demand and the oceans remain warm with inviting beaches. The rainy
season in tropical Africa usually means about 1-2 hours of rain in the
afternoon, often accompanied by a spectacular thunderstorm. |

There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough

To keep me from getting to you"

Did
you know - Nomad Trucks
At Nomad we are constantly improving
our vehicles. Did you know that every Nomad truck has an i-pod / MP3
player connection? This means that on every trip the music selection
is massive! Our guides are also all issued with a huge selection of
African music to add variety.
Nomad trucks are also fitted with
seat belts and although this may sound obvious, it is not a legal
requirement and many other companies do not have these. We also
provide a small library of books and have games equipment, like
footballs. Of course every Nomad truck is also fitted with a safe
for your valuables and a full kitchen.
