We have been on 3 Tribes holidays and they have been the best holidays we have ever had. They take the time to understand what your interests are and then deliver your dream holiday. We have just been on a 3 week holiday to Tanzania and it was seamlessly organised and perfect for us. I would thoroughly recommend using Tribes

We recently had a two week adventure to Peru with Tribes and has to be one of our best trips. Kat supported us in developing a tailored agenda that was perfect to see all the amazing sights of the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Macchu Pichu, Maras, Moray and the Inka trail. The mountains, valleys and rivers were stunning at every turn including a train journey across the vast plains of the Andean mountains. The hotels in all our main locations were second to known and everyone went out of their way to help us. Lima Tours and our guides were incredible and ensured we maximised our trip, they were punctual, knowledgable and just great people!. In particular a call out to Rolando who was with us for 6 days, he got it just right. The only challenge was flights which was out of everyone’s control with lost baggage and odd changes but more than-compensated for by the experience. Thank you to Kat, Tribes our Hotels and Lima Tours and all the Peruvians we met, just wonderful!

We have used Tribes travel for 2 safari trips so far, and each time the organisation and information we received about our trip was extremely thorough. From the moment we set foot off the plane we were met by the Safari guides and for that moment, until we were dropped back at the airport, we had a magical experience. Tribes leave nothing to chance and the local Safari lodges and camps they select are superb.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with Tribes if you are planning a safari, they are very flexible with budgets and destinations, and can give authentic advice as they have usually been and visited the camps themselves.

While planning our wedding last year, we decided that we wanted to do a safari for our honeymoon and went with tribes after a recommendation from my parents, who have booked a few trips with Christine.
As it was our honeymoon, and our first safari, we had very high expectations for the trip we had planned. Our safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations and we had the most incredible experience, which also ended with some chill time in Zanzibar.
Prior to the trip, we had plenty of communication with Christine and we were provided with all the information we needed before travelling. The whole trip including excursions and transportation was completely seamless which added to our experience. I would recommend tribes to anyone who is planning their next big trip.

We had a truly amazing safari in Botswana, faultlessly organised by Tribes.

Chris responded quickly to our initial contact. She listened carefully to our vaguely-formed thoughts about safari and our various concerns. Chris proposed a programme that matched our dates and budget and which offered the possibility of both adventure and then some luxury. The information on Vamoos was detailed and helpful.

In practise, the safari was an even richer experience than we had expected. 8 nights on a mobile tented safari in the Okavango Delta - a truly immersive experience - and 2 nights in a beautiful lodge on the Chobe River with more fabulous wildlife. We finished with 2 nights in Victoria Falls.

Throughout the process Chris offered helpful advice, drawing on expert knowledge and recent experience. The administration behind the scenes was excellent and every step of our journey worked precisely.

Big thanks to Chris and to all the team at Tribes.

Chris was so helpful in the planning and organised the most memorable trip to Kenya we could've asked for. Everything was planned perfectly and accommodation exceeded our expectations!

We would strongly recommend anyone to use Tribes and in particular Chris if you are planning a trip, they are so friendly and knowledgeable and very well organised!

Our two-week holiday to Costa Rica, organised by Tribes, exceeded our expectations. From our arrival in San José until our departure, every transfer, guide and excursion ran seamlessly. The local Swiss Travel team were outstanding, and every driver and guide was friendly, knowledgeable and punctual, allowing us simply to relax and enjoy the experience.

The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and gave us a wonderful introduction to Costa Rica's incredible diversity. Highlights included the Hanging Bridges at Arenal, the Curi-Cancha Reserve in Monteverde, the boat journey through the mangroves, and our stay at the beautiful Aguila de Osa on the Osa Peninsula. Wildlife sightings were unforgettable, including spider monkeys, capuchin monkeys, crocodiles, coatis, tapirs, hummingbirds and toucans.

May proved an excellent time to visit, with relatively few tourists, lush scenery and generally favourable weather. Costa Rica itself is a magical country whose people are warm, welcoming and clearly proud of their remarkable natural environment.

No holiday is absolutely perfect and, with hindsight, we might have chosen slightly different hotels in one or two locations. However, these were minor points in what was an exceptionally enjoyable trip.

Throughout the planning process Tribes were a pleasure to deal with. Emails were answered promptly, advice was excellent and the arrangements inspired complete confidence. We would have no hesitation in recommending both Costa Rica as a destination and Tribes as a specialist tour operator.

Our first trip to Costa Rica went without a hitch from our first contact with Andrew Chaundler at Tribes, through all the hotels, transfers. flights etc. We've never done a package like this where all aspects of the trip were sorted out for us, so it was a surprise and a great joy that everything worked seamlessly, no issues, no hitches, no worrying about where we should be when. It all just happened. Amazing work by all concerned and would definitely recommend Tribes to friends and family.

At every stage - initial discussion, planning, preparation and execution - Tribes has been a fantastic support. Chris and the Tribes team could not have been more helpful and she was especially reassuring as we worried about the potential problems of an Emirates flight through Dubai during the US/Iran war. Our itinerary, designed by Chris, included a night in hotels at the start and end and three absolutely superb safari camps with excellent guides, superb staff, wonderful food and full attention to safety. This was our first safari and Chris could not have organised a better programme for us, with the information on Vamoos extremely helpful in taking the right clothes and equipment with us. Thank you so much, Tribes.

Just returned from a fantastic 2 week holiday in Tanzania & Zanzibar that was arranged for us by Christine; it was everything and more that we had hoped the trip would be.
I had been recommended to speak with Christine by a previous client of Tribes Travel, and it was a good job that I did contact her......Christine is an expert, not just in that geography, but also in customer service. She was very careful in ensuring that all of our requirements were met, and subsequently planned the trip of a lifetime for us. I am extremely grateful for her time, trust, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and thorough explanation of everything throughout.
Our trip took us to Kilimanjaro airport, from where we travelled to Lake Manyara, The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater over 5 days......the quality of our guide / driver and the accommodation was superb. Then on to Zanzibar for a week of relaxation in a great hotel, again with all arrangements meeting our requirements.
Christine and Tribes Travel made sure that all went to plan, for which we are grateful.
Top notch service from Christine and Tribes Travel....thank you !

Our trip to Costa Rica was organised by Alex. Alex was great, very knowledgeable about the various destinations we were visiting and made some valuable suggestions in terms of locations, accommodation and trips. Communication was great right up to departure date. And during the trip we had an issue (not Tribes fault) and Alex was immediately on the case and dealt with it brilliantly. The 'on the ground' staff were also good and proactive so we always felt we were being considered and looked after. The Vamoos App, capturing all aspects of the holiday, was great too

Tribes is an easy company to work with. Delivered a first class experience, a tailor made safari in Zambia which exceeded all our expectations.
This was our second holiday booked through them and we are already considering a third!

We've just completed an amazing holiday in Peru irganised by Tribes. They were brilliant in planning, and in execution. They listened carefully to our ideas for the trip, helped us think everything through, and gave a very fair quote for organising everything.
And it all went really smoothly. The partners in Peru were great, every detail better than we'd hoped. Thanks to Andrew and his team.

Brilliant holiday organised by Andrew Chaundler at Tribes. Everything went like clockwork and was absolutely brilliant. From the initial call to enquire about the holiday until I landed back home everything went smoothly. Brilliant trips and brilliant hotels. Pick ups were all on time and the guides on the trips were very knowledgeable and everything lived up to expectation and more.

Incredible experience, wonderful places, food and people. An absolutely brilliant service from Tribes Travel and Lima Tours. Andrew did a tremendous job in arranging a tour that covered all the best places and excelled himself with some minor hotel changes in Lima at the end that completed the tour perfectly.

Just brilliant! Fantastic organisation both before and during our holiday. Wonderful locations, excellent hotels and superb tours. Thank you Andrew for organising our unforgettable trip.

We had a fabulous time in Costa Rica. The transfers and organisation was great, the people warm and friendly, and the country and wildlife amazing! We would definitely love to visit other parts of Costa Rica again. Thanks must go to Andrew Chaundler and the team for helping arrange our holiday and for answering lots of pre-travel questions speedily and clearly. We felt valued and supported.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls and cannot thank Christine enough for organising everything so perfectly. The itinerary, camps and guides were all exceptional and every transfer and detail ran seamlessly.

The mix of the Okavango Delta, Chobe and Victoria Fall s
was fantastic, we even did a horse trek in Zambia. We were very well looked after from start to finish. We would highly recommend Tribes travel to anyone planning a safari holiday

Absolutely incredible holiday in Ecuador & the Galápagos-a holiday of a lifetime!
Tribes were incredibly helpful & organised-Arturo was great. We had a fantastic guide called Fabrizio in Quito - who took us to some incredible places & we stayed in 2 amazing hotels/haciendas.
The Galaxy Sirius, the boat we were on to go round the Galapagos was also amazing, food was superb, the crew were great - the guides Jorje & Cesar were fantastic & the Galápagos were just off the scale incredible! I can’t fault Tribes or the holiday in any way - I really can’t & my wife & I have travelled in many places round the world! I will most definitely use Tribes again, without hesitation! A truly amazing holiday, one of the best of our lives !

From the earliest communications to our last flight home on Tuesday the experience exceeded our expectations. It was a truly brilliantly arranged visit, all arrangements, flights, meet and greet and transport all worked as planned without panic or upset. Thank you.
