Blog - Africa
Our blogs are another way to find out more of the destinations and experiences you might want to consider when you're travelling.
This library of stories, articles and observations are written by our travellers, consultants, people we work with in destinations, and travel journalists.
Have a look at our 'Interviews' to meet a few of our travellers -- and if you're a Tribes traveller and want to either write a blog or take part in a 'Face to Face with ...' interview, we'd love to hear from you.
Enjoy!

We love a good travel tale! Read some of ours, and maybe send us one of yours if you've travelled with us.

Magnificent Malawi – and a touch of Zambia!
I didn’t think that safari holidays got any better than the one to Botswana which Tribes arranged for me in 2015 - until last year! I had long wanted to visit Malawi, and particularly the Nyika Plateau, but couldn’t find an appropriate group tour.
The unexpected is often the best
When Dr Robert Climie travelled to Northern Tanzania with Tribes in January 2019, he wasn't expecting one of the highlights of the trip to be a simple road journey.
Footloose in Africa
If you're staying in a lodge or camp outside of the National Parks on your African holiday, you may be given the opportunity to take a walking safari or a nature walk together with an experienced and knowledgeable guide.
