HOME / ABOUT

Our Story: More Than a Tour, It’s a Calling

Founded in 2012, Tribes was born from a simple, powerful idea: that travel should be a force for good. What began as a deep passion for Uganda’s mountain gorillas has evolved into a premier safari curator across East and Southern Africa.

We are a bridge—connecting you to the continent’s most awe-inspiring wildlife, vibrant cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. Our team is a family of local guides, conservation advocates, and travel experts who call Africa home. We don’t just work here; we live, breathe, and protect these places. This isn’t our job; it’s our legacy.

Our Commitment: Travel That Transforms

Our ethos is built on Responsible, Sustainable Travel.

  • We Support Communities: A portion of every safari directly funds local projects and ensures fair wages.

  • We Protect Wildlife: We partner with conservation NGOs and follow strict guidelines to minimize our impact.

  • We Champion Ethical Experiences: Our cultural interactions are respectful, consensual, and beneficial to our hosts.
