Safari experts
We have been travelling with Tribes for 15 years and our latest trip to Zambia was possibly the best yet.
The team have personal experience of camps and so they can tailor to your needs.
Wonderful
Tribes organised such a wonderful trip for us. We had the best time and all the guides, trips & hotels were perfect. Wouldn’t have changed a thing about it and the support we had from Tribes from our first enquiry to the end of our trip was unbeatable.
Seamless from our first enquiry to getting on the flight home
From my first enquiry about a holiday in Costa Rica, Andrew was both knowledgeable and professional. He put together an amazing adventure which was based on our agenda and not Tribes. I would recommend Tribes without hesitation to anyone looking for a truly tailor made experience.

A great experience
Our much anticipated family holiday in Costa Rica was everything we had been hoping for. The itinerary was perfect, all the accommodation was great and the communication and support from the Tribes Travel team was exemplary. Our consultant Arturo was exceptional from start to finish; really going the extra mile to help when a connecting flight was cancelled. Thank you!
Great family trip to Costa Rica
Alex delivered a great itinerary for our trip to Costa Rica and the support/service on the ground worked very smoothly throughout the trip. Would happily recommend Tribes.
Excellent service from Tribes for the trip of a lifetime.
From my very first enquiry, Vanessa at Tribes immediately made me feel assured with her knowledge of the various options for the safaris in Tanzania and her very friendly and relaxed manner. She was attentive and responded promptly with my queries, understanding quickly what I was looking for. The itinerary for Tanzania and Zanzibar was well planned and every journey went smoothly. We were briefed at every new lodge of what to expect and the safari guides were very professional and had extensive experience and knowledge of the Parks. Vanessa ensured that a surprise birthday experience of a Balloon Safari for my daughters remained a surprise with her instructions to the staff and the birthday cake was a very kind gesture ! The trip truly was a once in a lifetime experience and our thanks to Vanessa and the team at Tribes for making it such a special and memorable experience.
Highly recommend Tribe's Travel
Tribes Travel were amazing from start to finish. Arturo arranged our dream holiday to Costa Rica and all the arrangements worked perfectly. Arturo and Tribes were so knowledgeable and friendly and we felt looked after at every stage. Their representatives in Costa Rica, Swiss Travel, were outstanding and every transfer and trip was on time. Arturo from tribes put together an amazing package of destinations and experiences and we had an excellent holiday. I would recommend tribes to all my friends and family.
Epic Tanzanian Safari and Beach holiday
Vanessa made our experience great. She was always available to help and sort out any issues before our trip and everything went like clockwork. It was a holiday of a lifetime which will be etched in our memories for a very long time. To quote my son ‘it was epic’ Thank you Tribes.
Five stars for Tribes - highly recommend!
Brilliant service throughout. Planning the trip was easy through Tribes - lots of options and flex to change the itinerary to suit me. Alex was really knowledgeable and all questions were responded to quickly.
I was a solo female travelling to Costa Rica with a young child. The on the ground support was fabulous. Messages via WhatsApp so instant responses. I managed to miss a trip one day and they quickly rescheduled to the following day. Plus an additional trip was booked with short notice. The drivers were reliable, on time and spoke English. It all ran to plan, very smoothly.
Highly recommend.

Chris,from Tanzania in earlier life was responsible for making this trip to Namibia Botswana Zimbabwe and Zambia unforgettable and impeccable! With everything down to advice on visas vaccinations flights times consideration to our ages ( late 60’s attempting camping driving as newbies!) can’t recommend enough!
Thank you Chris and Tribes!
Absolutely incredible
Absolutely incredible, everything from start to finish went perfectly! If going to Costa Rica Alex was brilliant and knew exactly what to recommend to put the perfect trip together
Great service from beginning to end
Great service from beginning to end. Planning process was flexible and Alex did a great job. Holiday was fantastic.
Great advice and a fabulous trip to Tanzania
We decided upon a trip to Tanzania for our family of 4 at relatively short notice and after contacting 2 or 3 agents, felt immediately comfortable with Tribes. Vanessa understood very quickly what we were after and presented us with options from which we decided upon a week on Safari followed by a week’s R&R on the beach in Zanzibar.
We were delighted with the safari - our guide Frank, from Kilimanjaro Safari Club, was brilliant, taking us from Manyara, into the Ngorongoro crater through the Serengeti and onto Grumetti Hills, to see the Migration. The accommodations were excellent in and around the parks as well as on Zanzibar. We felt that, though expensive, the value of what we experienced was great. All the logistics worked like clockwork; we would recommend Tribes and hope to use them again.
Just what we were looking for - Tribes Travel get it bang on again!
Chris is so knowledgeable and has a real knack of grasping what we are looking for. We spent 7 nights in Zanzibar at The Zanzibari - perfect for relaxing and catching up with grown up children. Then a hop to Simply Saadani for 3 nights - a beautiful, tranquil "camp" on a Robinson Crusoe coastline with stunning sunrises over the Indian Ocean. We use Tribes because of its ethical approach so we know wherever we stay, the local communities will be benefitting from our stay.
Tanzania Experience
A truly magical experience visiting Stone Town, Rufiji River camp, Ruaha River camp and Mafia Island.
The travel consultants local knowledge of Tanzania meant that they were able to provide detailed information in advance of the trip and all the logistics work seamless when we were there.
We couldn't fault them
All the advice and suggested camps/transfers (especially the helicopter one!) were excellent. They also remained in regular contact and were always making us aware or reminding us of when something was required to be done. We couldn't fault them
Adventures in Zambia with the Family
We had the best experience visiting Zambia, Chris listened to what we wanted, asked what our priorities were, then put together the most wonderful itinerary visiting some very unique lodges, the flights were all organised, we just had to turn up, all of the planned activities were exactly as described, Tribes were always contactable should we need anything, I felt happy knowing Chris had planned our perfect trip, thank you
Victoria Falls and Botswana
After checking out lots of travel companies to plan the trip of a lifetime, I settled for Tribes. Thank goodness I did as from the first conversation planning our itinerary they listened to exactly what I wanted, suggesting different camps to have an immersive experience of Botswana. A special mention to Vanessa Berry who was my point of contact throughout and answered all of my many questions promptly and in detail. I will absolutely use this company again and would highly recommend.
