Tribes Overall: "Fantastic holiday surpassing expectations."
Tribes Service: "Hannah's expertise and suggestions were just what I was looking for to put together a trip of the sort we had never done before. Her personal experience of the lodges and hotels gave me great confidence."
Guides: "All very knowledgable, friendly and wanting to give us the best experience. Lake Manze gave us a guide plus driver which added to the ability of the guide to spot game."
Social & Environmental Responsibility: "Excellent"
Accommodation
Decent base and retreat from the bustle of the teeming town. Rooftop bar/restaurant was great.
Small hotel, decent location, quite quiet without much of a buzz. The beach-side suites are fantastic being spacious and with private pool. Staff could not be more helpful.
Great introduction to Africa, and very friendly. location outside the reserve meant longer drives to get to the heart of the reserve. Cultural exposure to the Masai village was fascinating and very worthwhile.
Really in amongst the game - wonderful. The choices between game drives, lake and river trips and walking safaris made this a fantastic base.
