PLANNED TOURS

We believe that everything in life is experienced to the fullest when you share it with like minded people, and more so when it comes to travel.Whether you are a culture enthusiast or a beach bum, nature lover or an adventure freak – we have a trip designed for you. Our Planned guided tours are expertly crafted with unique itineraries which will never be found in any travel books and brochures that visit all the main draw cards in the country as well as a few lesser known places off the beaten track with small intimate groups of young like-minded people who share the same passions on authentic holiday experiences. We include unique travel experiences and there’s lots of real local interaction too, giving you a true flavour of the places you visit. In all Planned Tours you are accompanied by a Tour Leader.

Everything on your itinerary is customisable. You can have any trip tailor-made for your private travel.  whether you want to include excursions into an existing tour or dream up an entirely new itinerary. Whether you want to modify a tour package on our website or Interested in designing your own itinerary built from scratch.  Any number of days. Any departure date. Any number of travellers. Any experiences you want.  Whether it’s a family reunion trip, a college alumni program or corporate retreat.  Travelling with that special partner or travelling solo .

Totally! A lot of our travellers arrive alone, Most are travelling solo, others are with friends or partners. It doesn’t matter because by the end of day one you have already made a great group of friends on the Tour! (“Meeting liked-minded travellers” frequently is rated in the top 5 reasons to travel with us.)  It is going to be like the first day of school or college or office, excitement of meeting new people with the thrill of the trip. Do not expect anything less than an adventure. Absolutely, that’s the beauty of small group travel. 

Backpacks are preferred and will be more convenient for you for when we are catching a sleeper bus but suitcases work, too. You’ll never have to carry your luggage for too long at any one time. Try to find something that’s easily accessible and waterproof if possible. Bring a smaller daypack for short trips throughout the tour.

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our Planned tour group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 8-12 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people.

There is no travel insurance cover included in our travel packages. We strongly recommend that you take insurance to cover you for cancellation, medical expenses, personal accident, personal baggage, money and public liability. We do not take responsibility for any personal possessions under any circumstances.

While we can’t tell you who your leader is prior to departure, we can tell you they will be awesome. Your tour will be lead by our expert and passionate tour leaders. Captivating, informative and caring, they will ensure your holiday is fun and hassle-free.

You don’t have to be an athlete to travel with us – all walks and activities are optional and there is something for everyone.

The majority of travellers are aged between 20 – 35. Nomadic tribes is not about age, it’s a mind set. If you enjoy being active and meeting people you are right for Nomadic Tribes. Please check the tour section for specific age limitation .

It’s extremely difficult if not impossible to join a tour after it has begun. It is possible to leave a tour early however you will be responsible for your own arrangements from the moment you decide to leave the tour. You would also be responsible for all costs associated with joining a tour late or leaving one early. If you feel this may be necessary please consult NOMADIC TRIBES before you book your adventure.

More than just a way to get from A to B, we believe transportation is a major part of the experience and an incredible opportunity to truly discover a destination. We take trains , buses, minivans, ferries, cycle rickshaws and even camels for some trips!!

Absolutely. If there are included or optional activities that you don’t wish to participate in, you can do your own thing instead. The exception to this is when we are trekking or travelling from one destination to the next. Please note that if you choose to opt out of an included activity, no reimbursement can be made by Nomadic Tribes.

The Nomadic Tribes reserves the right to cancel any trip at any time for any reason if there are too few participants or if the quality of the trip or the safety of the travellers is judged to be compromised. In such circumstances, refund of all payments received by Nomadic Tribes shall constitute full settlement. The Nomadic Tribes is not responsible for any additional loss incurred on travel arrangements or air tickets due to a trip cancellation.
