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!

Eine perfekt organisierte Reise in ein wunderbares Land, das seine Schönheit mit den Reisenden teilen möchte, ohne seine Seele zu verlieren. Kat Dougal von Tribes hat einfühlsam versucht herauszufinden was wir uns vorgestellt haben und es dann mit den Partnern vor Ort umgesetzt. Alles hat ausnehmend gut ineinander gepasst. Die gebuchten Touren und deren Guides waren gut vorbereitet, ohne sie hätten wir vieles gar nicht entdeckt. Herzlichen Dank an Kat und alle, die daran gearbeitet haben.

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.

Well organised holiday. Brilliant hotels with a varied itinerary. Andrew organised everything and communicated effectively. An amazing holiday!

Don’t know why I’ve taken so long to review but we lead very busy lives and I suppose I did think when we got back on January 26th we’d have heard from tribes asking for feedback 🤷‍♀️
Andrew arranged our trip to Ecuador for Galapagos and Amazon experience and we had an amazing time at both
The reason for the 3* score is that our Quito experience was not so well run and indeed the company that tribes used were almost incommunicado! We were supposed to be met by an English speaking guide. We have never been on a tour to another country where we have not been welcomed and straight away given an emergency contact number and information about our itinerary ie flight info and times . A freelance guide took us out for the first 2 days and during that time I did ask that he contact “the office” for this information. This was never forthcoming . I eventually managed to get “the office” to contact me where we discussed communication issues . The woman I spoke to advised that usually companies do not like customers to share the itinerary details from them! 🤷‍♀️ other trips we’ve been on the first thing they do after welcoming you to their country is to check their itinerary against your original one to make sure all details are correct and give you a couple of people in that country to contact in an emergency. None of this was done!
I’m sure tribes usually do a great job but on this occasion communication was poor for this first leg of the tour

Our experience with booking our special trip to Costa Rica via Tribes was managed excellently by Andrew.

The attention to detail and care given to make sure we had the most enjoyable trip was to a level I have never experienced - ranging from first-hand advice on when best to visit, taking on our feedback on the preferred location for the end of our trip and arranging a room upgrade. As we got closer to leaving, a better option to transfer us from our final hotel back to San Jose airport was offered by Andrew. It gave us an extra hour in bed and an exciting end to the holiday - the internal flight was exciting as we’d never flown in a small plane before.

We’d deffiently use Tribes again and would recommend.

Tribes were excellent at putting together a trip to Costa Rica visiting all the places we had requested. The hotels/lodges we stayed in were all excellent. All the pickups between lodges were on time and everyone was super friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Tribes again.

We had a fantastic holiday every thing slotted into place all our accommodation was great we went to fantastic places picked up on time guides great can’t thank them enough thanks To Alex & team Veronica & Malcolm Burley

We went to Costa Rica for two weeks for our honeymoon. Our travel agent Alex was brilliant with answering all our questions as we had never been or knew anyone who had been before. The whole trip was so well organised with easy transfers, nice hotel choices, activities booked and clear WhatsApp communications when our itinerary changed ever so slightly. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Tribes in Costa Rica. The organisation was excellent from start to finish, with well‑planned activities and excursions that really made the trip special. I honestly can’t fault the locations, the overall experience, or the hotels, everything exceeded expectations and made for an unforgettable adventure.

Excellent in every respect! Tribes organised two back to back trips for us - Peru and then Ecuador, including five days in the Galapagos. Everything about our trips was planned to perfection at a great price. We seamlessly flowed from one location to another with excellent accommodation, restaurants and guides. We can’t praise Tribes enough 🥰
