Pre & Post Accommodation

Plan smart. Travel easy. Enjoy Africa.

Start and finish your journey at your own pace. Arrive a night early to sip your first African coffee without the rush, wander through your departure city, and let the excitement build. Stay a little longer at the end, and trade your alarm clock for one last sunrise, a stroll through a local market, or a final sunset toast.

We’re happy to assist with booking accommodation and transfers before and after your tour. We’ve partnered with trusted hotels at our tour start and end points so you can enjoy convenient locations, easy logistics, and the peace of mind of a Nomad-arranged stay. The properties we use are usually located at the tour’s departure point, making your travel easier and more convenient. If, on arrival, your transfer is not where it should be, please call Nomad’s emergency contact number (+27 (0)82 578 2199) so we can resolve the issue immediately. Situations like this can happen, especially when arriving in a new country, but please don’t let it overshadow the start of your adventure—your tour will soon reveal the very best of Africa.

Please ensure that your onward travel arrangements are made before your tour begins, as it can be difficult to organise them en route. We also offer a good-value transit option from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg, which can be added to your tour. Our reservations team can advise you on onward travel options and recommend low-cost airlines if you plan to fly to your next destination.

We strongly recommend that you do not book onward flights on the same day your tour ends (unless the final day concludes after breakfast without further travel). Delays can occur for many reasons, and rushing places unnecessary pressure on your fellow travellers and guides. Nomad cannot be held responsible for missed flights booked on the last day, and we will never compromise the safety or enjoyment of the group to reach the airport in a hurry. When travelling in Africa, it’s always best to expect the unexpected.
