About Us

Your Journey Begins Here

We create journeys with time, care, and curiosity at the center. For us, the best holiday is not about seeing the most sights or keeping the fastest pace – it’s about finding that place where you breathe a little deeper, discover something new, and have space to simply be.

We offer journeys to some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations – from the beaches of the Seychelles and the Maldives to the rainforests and rice fields of Borneo, Sri Lanka, and Bali – and many more. We know these places well, and we take the time to understand what truly matters to you.

Journeys Created Together

We don’t see ourselves as sellers of ready-made packages – we see ourselves as your travel partner. Our most important task is to listen to you, spar with you, and create a journey that matches your dreams, your needs, and your time to travel.

Many of you return – not because your journey was identical to anyone else’s, but because it felt personal. And that is exactly what we aim for: to create journeys that are made for you – not for target groups.

Travel with Ease and Purpose

No two journeys are ever the same – nor should they be. We always begin with your wishes and build the journey from there. Some of you dream of luxury and quiet by the sea, others of culture, cuisine, and nature. Many want a little of everything – but at a pace that lets you truly feel the journey along the way.

We value personal dialogue, honest recommendations, and thoughtful solutions. For us, it’s not about fitting in as much as possible – it’s about creating a journey that feels right for you.

A Small Team with a Big Passion

We’re a tight-knit team of seasoned travel professionals with backgrounds spanning trip design, guest care, marketing, and product development. What unites us is a shared passion for crafting journeys that feel seamless and meaningful from start to finish.

Some of us have lived abroad, others have travelled extensively – but we all share a deep curiosity and a drive to understand what makes travel truly special. Every day, we draw on this experience to fine-tune the details: whether it’s finding a charming family-run lodge, arranging the smoothest transfer, or shaping an itinerary that simply feels right.

We collaborate closely and challenge each other with new ideas – always with the same goal in mind: to give you a journey that feels personal, thoughtful, and reassuring.

A Travel Philosophy with Roots

Tembo Travel was born out of Tembo Safari, which for many years introduced guests to the wonders of Africa. As time went on, many of those guests asked us to create journeys beyond the continent – and that’s how the idea took shape: to bring the same personal approach to new corners of the world.

Today, we design tailor-made journeys to hand-picked destinations such as the Maldives, Vietnam, Zanzibar, Sri Lanka – and many more. What ties them all together is our focus on quality, care, and genuine connection.

The Meaning Behind the Name

“Tembo” is the Swahili word for elephant – a creature we admire for its calm strength and quiet patience. It’s also why, despite what many think, our name isn’t Tempo. In fact, we’re quite the opposite.

We believe great travel takes time – both in the planning and on the journey itself. It’s never about seeing the most, but about getting the most out of every moment you choose.

Meet the Team Behind Tembo Travel

At Tembo Travel, travel is more than moving from one place to another – it’s about finding calm, connection, and meaning along the way. Our passion for exploring the world shapes the way we advise, always with curiosity and care.

We’re inspired by the regions we know best – whether it’s a hidden island in the Indian Ocean, a lively food street in Hanoi, or a rice field in Bali’s highlands. With that passion comes knowledge, experience, and a love of sharing – helping us design journeys that feel personal to you and the way you like to travel.
