Tribes helped us pull together a suitably paced holiday with good range of activities and rest. The hotels were all good locations and having a car meant we could visit local restaurants and bars as we wished,

Truely amazing

A self drive holiday to Namibia. We had an amazing tour which was so well planned out for us. The itinerary took us to the most varied sections and each day was spectacular.

Tribes were so good from the beginning when I first contacted them. Everything was efficiently organised and any queries I had were quickly dealt with. I felt I was very well looked after throughout. Christine Mcdougal was our link person and she was excellent. The booklet outlining our trip was excellent and included all the information we needed. Car hire was well organised, emergency numbers given etc.

What a lovely feedback. Thanks so much Mair. Chris was delighted to be able to help you, and we're so pleased you enjoyed Namibia. It's a gorgeous country!

We were advised well so no surprises on the holiday. so able to relax with confidence in arrangements, despite high number of transfers on boats, planes and automobiles.

Varied Costa Rica

Travelled from Caribbean coastover to the Pacific, visiting 4 national parks. Excellent viewings of wildlife, and wonderful beaches. Only drawbacks were the poor state of many of the roads.

Rating for tour operator:

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Suggested itinerary was excellent, and all travel arrangements worked well.

Tribes Travel responded to this review on 08 Mar 2019:

Thanks Frank. Yes, some roads leave a bit to be desired, but Costa Rica is SO worth the odd bit of discomfort as I'm sure you'll agree. Delighted you had a great trip.

2 weeks trip to Botswana-Zanzibar

This was our honeymoon gateway. We started with 2 camps in Botswana (2x4days in Chobe and in the delta) where we saw a plentiful wildlife, followed by 4-5days in Zanzibar to relax in a paradisiac place by the ocean.

Rating for tour operator:

We used Tribes to find us gems where we could see wildlife (for safaris) and a place to relax in Zanzibar, while having in mind we wanted a social responsible holiday, not intrusive (in a bad way) and respectful of the beauty of the places we would visit.

Tribes Travel responded to this review on 08 Mar 2019:

Thanks for choosing us for such a special trip, and we're really pleased you saw so much and enjoyed it. Best wishes.

Fascinating Chile and Rapa Nui

A three-centre trip to Santiago, the Atacama Desert and Rapa Nui, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Rating for tour operator:

This was our fifth trip organised by Tribes. We are impressed by their ability to suggest enjoyable itineraries that match our interests. On this holiday we had a few hiccups, particularly with internal flights in Chile, but overall we had a great time.

Thanks so much Katharine. It's always our pleasure to help you, and I'm really pleased Chile hit the spot, despite a few flight hiccups!

Delhi, Agra and Festivals of Rajasthan

It was a three week tailor-made trip for two, with a driver and car, knowledgeable local guides and great hotels. It took in all the top sights and included Diwali in Jaipur, the horse fair at Bateshwar and the religious and camel fair at Pushkar.

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Tribes in the past and have come to expect high standards. We were not disappointed. They constructed an itinerary perfectly suited to our interests and structured in a way that enabled us to accomplish a huge amount without feeling pressured or tired. Their in-country arrangements were excellent, everything went smoothly and we were very well supported throughout.

Tribes Travel responded to this review on 04 Dec 2018:

Thanks so much Karen. It's always our pleasure to help you. Taj Mahal at dawn, sitting close to tigers, walking around the Bateshwar horse fair, rickshaw rides in Delhi, seeing where Gandhi spent his last hours ... you really did see some amazing stuff. Thanks for choosing Tribes once again.

We felt Tribes were extremely organised and developed the exact trip we had requested. They provided a very detailed itinerary well ahead of the date of travel and provided lots of useful information. they definitely listened to the types of accommodation I requested and booked accordingly. I loved the app and all the detailed information. it meant everything was easy to check and the maps were very useful too.
