Exploring Namibia: Where Silence Speaks and the Empty Spaces Set You Free
There’s something deeply humbling about driving through Namibia.
The roads stretch endlessly across ancient deserts, salt pans, and rugged coastlines. No traffic. No noise. Just me, the horizon, and a feeling of complete freedom.
Namibia is one of my favourite self-drive destinations in Africa — a land of surreal beauty and cinematic solitude. It’s where you can camp beneath a galaxy of stars in the Namib Desert, climb the burnt orange dunes of Sossusvlei at sunrise, and track desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland.
If you’ve ever wanted to feel the sheer scale of nature — raw, wild, and untouched — this is the place.
At TribalTourist, we craft tailor-made self-drive adventures through Namibia’s most dramatic and remote regions, for those who long to disconnect and discover on their own terms.
Let the road take you somewhere unforgettable.

From One Camp to a Conservation Legacy:
The Foxes’ Story in Southern Tanzania 🇹🇿
In 1982, the Fox family built Ruaha River Lodge—the first safari camp in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park. For years, it stood alone, pioneering tourism in the remote southern wilds.

Last year, Matthew Kearns, Tribal Leader of TribalTourist, sat with Bruce Fox overlooking the Ruaha River. In the fading light, Bruce shared fascinating stories of how one family’s dream helped shape conservation tourism in Tanzania.

What began as a simple camp evolved into —with seven unique lodges across southern Tanzania—and Safari Air Link, a bush airline connecting travelers to wild places like the Serengeti, Zanzibar, and Mafia Island.

But for the Foxes, tourism was never just about lodges.
They launched Friends of Ruaha Society in 1984 (now the Foxes Community & Wildlife Conservation Trust) to invest in education, healthcare, and wildlife protection—ensuring that conservation benefits the communities closest to the land.

“Tourism has to be responsible—or it shouldn’t happen at all.” — Bruce Fox >>>>>>>

This is more than a safari story. It’s a three-generation promise to protect Tanzania’s wilderness and uplift its people.

TribalTourist proudly partners with safari families like the Foxes—where every journey supports conservation, community, and the soul of East Africa.

Where Luxury Meets Legacy:
Inside Segera Retreat’s Wild Mission.
High on the Laikipia Plateau in Kenya lies a sanctuary where luxury whispers, but conservation roars. Segera Retreat is more than just an exclusive safari lodge—it's a beacon of regenerative tourism that honors the land, wildlife, and local communities with every guest who walks through its doors.
What makes Segera extraordinary isn’t just its solar-powered villas or its vintage art collection. It’s the pulse of purpose that runs through the retreat: rewilding degraded land, supporting anti-poaching units, empowering women through enterprise, and investing in education for future conservation leaders.
Founded with a deep belief in “The 4Cs”—Community, Culture, Conservation, and Commerce—Segera isn’t just preserving Africa’s wild beauty; it’s actively restoring it.
When you wake up to Mount Kenya’s silhouette and hear the lions echo across the plains, know this: your presence is part of a bigger story.

🌿✨ At TribalTourist, we proudly partner with eco-conservation leaders like Segera. Your travel choices aren’t just experiences—they’re investments in Africa’s future. Your tourism dollars directly support wildlife protection and life-changing conservation projects across the continent.

Fun Fact Friday:
Daphne Sheldrick’s Conservation Legacy (1977)
In the late 1970s, Daphne Sheldrick and her husband David laid the groundwork for one of Kenya’s most remarkable wildlife rescue efforts. After David’s passing in 1977, Daphne took the reins at Nairobi’s Tsavo National Park, where she pioneered techniques for hand-raising orphaned elephants and rhinos.
Her groundbreaking formula for infant elephant milk saved countless calves, who had lost their mothers to poaching. Over the years, these orphans were nurtured until they were ready to return to the wild. Thanks to Daphne’s tireless work, Kenya’s elephant population gained a second chance, and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust became a global symbol of hope and conservation.

Isn't it time you unplugged and connected with nature?

🚨 URGENT ACTION NEEDED 🚨
>>>> We need everyone to do this today! >>>>
Hwange National Park is facing a critical threat! Sunny Yi Feng (Private) Limited, a Chinese company, has applied for an Exclusive Prospecting Order encompassing 22,000 hectares of protected land, including the vital Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) housing Zimbabwe’s last Black Rhino population and serving as a crucial wildlife and tourism hub.
This move directly contradicts previous assurances from both the Zimbabwean government and the Chinese embassy, pledging to safeguard National Parks from mining activities. If this proposal is greenlit, it will trigger irreversible environmental harm, wildlife displacement, heightened poaching risks, and the shutdown of tourism camps in Sinamatella.
⏰ Time is of the essence! The Mining Affairs Board is receiving objections for a mere 14 days post-publication. We implore all those cherishing Hwange's future to promptly lodge an objection letter.
📝 Address objections to:
📍 The Secretary, Mining Affairs Board, Private Bag 7709, Causeway, Zimbabwe
Key points to highlight in your letter:
- The designated area is a protected National Park where mining was prohibited in 2020.
- The proposal jeopardizes Black Rhino conservation efforts within the Intensive Protection Zone.
- Tourism and local livelihoods in Sinamatella face severe jeopardy.
- Coal mining engenders lasting environmental degradation and water contamination.
- The prior commitments against park mining must be honored.
This is a crucial moment for Hwange's preservation. Let's unite and vehemently oppose mining activities within our National Parks!
📧 Send objection letters to [email protected] for printing and delivery to the Mining Affairs Board.
I have the objection letter. You just need to sign it. Please DM.
We need everyone to do this today!

Today’s African Wildlife Shot: The Wildebeest
The wildebeest, also known as the gnu, is one of Africa’s most recognizable grazing animals, renowned for its role in the Great Migration. Found throughout the plains and savannas of East Africa, particularly in the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems, these ungulates travel in vast herds searching for fresh pastures. Their distinctively robust build, curved horns, and bluish-gray coats make them a standout species on African safaris. African wildlife photography often captures the drama of wildebeest crossing crocodile-filled rivers or silhouetted against the golden sunset during migration.

Mafia Island’s Whale Sharks – A Conservation Success Story 🦈🌊
Mafia Island, off the coast of Tanzania, is one of only two places on the planet where you can reliably see juvenile whale sharks in their natural habitat. Once hunted, these gentle giants are now protected, with a thriving eco-tourism industry that brings valuable income to local island communities.
🔹 Best Time to Visit: October to March
During these months, plankton blooms attract whale sharks close to the surface, offering unforgettable, ethical snorkeling encounters in warm, clear waters.
This is a true conservation success story—transforming former hunting grounds into a sanctuary where locals benefit from protecting, rather than exploiting, these incredible creatures.
A bucket-list experience that supports both wildlife and communities! 🌏💙
