The Adventure Company

Our style of travel in small groups goes a long way to reducing the impact on host communities. We use local accommodation, local transport and encourage contact with the local people as much as possible and our group leaders are there to help and advise you on the purchase of locally produced products and are trained and briefed according to our Responsible Travel policy. We take special measures to protect the natural environment when trekking or visiting sensitive eco-systems. So what are you waiting for - check out The Adventure Company TODAY!

Tribes

Highly commended in2001's British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Awards! Amanda and Guy began Tribes in January 1998 because they felt that tourism should be sustainable and of benefit to the local communities affected by it, and because they wanted to offer the kind of holidays which they enjoyed - namely those offering true experiences of a country, its people and environment. Tribes was given the award for "Most Responsible Tour Operator" by Tourism Concern/ITW because Tribes considers the environmental and cultural implications of all aspects of the company’s operations.

Tribes works in cooperation with local communities, and offers fairly-traded revenue. We use local guides, and locally owned and run services. Good local guides generally have an excellent knowledge of their area which foreign guides struggle to match. You are offered explanations of how each trip helps local people. An understanding of the difference you can make is important. Group sizes are kept to a maximum of about 12 to minimise the impact on the local people, wildlife and environment. Small groups tend to have much better dynamics, and allow you to get closer to the people, wildlife and places you are visiting.
