We can introduce you to exceptional examples of tribal living – in the Sacred Valley in Peru the descendents of the Incas still roam the rugged landscapes, in the Bishnoi Villages of Rajasthan age old farming and survival techniques remain. Head up to the Himalaya for stays in a village house located in the heart of the community before visiting the local Buddhist Monastery and listening to the chanting of the resident monks.

In Northern Africa and the Middle East, sip a glass of mint tea with the local Bedouin or Berber communities as the sunsets over of the desert. In Northern Namibia and on the Skeleton Coast meet the Himba tribe who paint their bodies red and live a nomadic life.
