Group Trips & Special Interests

Deserts

Huge and impressive sand dunes, such as those of the Erg Chebbi in the Sahara are probably what most people think of when you mention desert. They are not always part of a desert scene of course, but even without the sand dunes, there is something very intriguing and evocative about deserts.

Family Holidays

Family holidays are something which Tribes particularly loves arranging. As with most of our services, the family holidays that we organise are tailor made. Working closely with you, we really can come up with a fantastic trip that the whole family will enjoy –whatever the ages and whatever the interests. Our itinerary suggestions would generally be classed as a luxury family holiday, though we feel that they are good value for money. 

Honeymoons and renewal of wedding vows

We are delighted that many couples come to us for their honeymoon arrangements. We love helping plan honeymoons. We'’ve been party to various subterfuges and exciting secret plans, as well as some very last minute cries for help from couples who suddenly remembered that the honeymoon wasn’t planned at all.
We have been asked for a honeymoon up Mount Kilimanjaro (which went very well), but usually the requests are of a more recognisably romantic nature!

We also offer a honeymoon voucher service, so guests can contribute towards the cost of your honeymoon as a wedding present.

Indigenous and local cultures

Our company, Tribes, is all about people.
YOUR TRIBE : We can offer you a way to see the world through the eyes of its native people.
OUR TRIBE : We love planning holidays which give a real insight into a country, its people and environments. We believe that sustainable, ethical tourism really can benefit a destination.
THEIR TRIBES : We work with many people throughout the world who want to share their natural resources and cultures with you. Community tourism projects can be a huge source of pride, and an important extra income for many families.

On the water

From rainforest cruises to boat safaris, seeing life from the water can often give an added dimension to your travel experiences. Here we have put together a few ideas where being on the water is a focus of the activity.

Photography

Whether stunning photographs are one of your prime motivations for travel, or whether you simply love returning home with great shots of your travel experiences, Tribes can help you get more out of your hobby or passion by recommending a professional travel photographer to offer you personal tuition before your trip or to accompany you on your trip.

Rainforest

The steamy jungles of South America host an incredible array of plant and wildlife. You may not have a huge chance of seeing the elusive jaguar, but tapirs, capybaras, Giant Otters, pink dolphins, various monkey species and of course many species of birds are all likely to be spotted.
Tribes has excellent in-house knowledge of rainforests, so use our expertise to discover the rainforest which will give you the best opportunity of seeing what interests you most.Here are a few ideas...

Sea and beach holidays

Whether you want a complete chill out holiday on a white coral beach, or somewhere to enjoy water sports and activities, we hope that you will find something suitable in this list of suggestions.
We’ve included Malawi in this section even though it doesn’t have a coastline, as the lakeside beaches are excellent! 

Short Breaks

You’ve been working hard and need a weekend break. Or perhaps you’ve got 4 or 5 days off and decide to go somewhere special. Well, here are some wonderful ideas to give you food thought on how to use your time.
We’ve chosen places which are either about a 4 hour flight, or if longer, are in areas where jet lag will not be an issue.

Small Group Trips

Tribes offers a range of small group departures in many countries. Some of these trips are specific to Tribes alone, and others are the set group departures of some of our preferred suppliers in the countries we work.

Either way, they represent a great way to travel if you are single, or simply want the company of other travellers, and of course, you get the cost benefit of travelling with others.

Walking and trekking

There is something for everyone when it comes to walks and treks that we can offer.   From leisurely strolls through rural Botswanan villages to the challenge of reaching Everest Base Camp, Tribes has the walking holiday or trek that’s right for you.

Wildlife and Nature

Travelling to see wildlife, or to experience a specific habitat such as the rainforest is a joy for many of us. The sight of a Mountain Gorilla a few feet away from you in the jungle, or a fleeting glimpse of the rare Giant Otter in a lake in the Amazon, is a thrill which stays with you for a long time.
Tribes consultants can help you get to the places you need to be to experience the wild places and their inhabitants. Here are a few ideas, but do call us for more advice.
