I started JAMBO because...

I believe we have something unique to offer, helping folks travel to destinations that aren’t always easy to navigate, and in a way that is experiential and culturally immersive.

I love how the novelty of travel brings like-minded people together and that the shared memories from trips continue to get retold through the years — everything from the inside jokes, sights that took your breath away, belly laughter moments, amazing dishes that you continue to crave from miles away, the list just goes on.

Why travel with JAMBO? 

We bring you to epic destinations where we believe a carefully curated itinerary – crafted together with locals – will make for an incredible experience. These are places where self-travel isn’t always very accessible. Not all of us get to travel full-time, so we’re on a mission to make those precious days truly count!  

I sta rted JAMBO because...

of the amazing people we've met on our travels.   Our guides and partners  are really one-in-a-million, full of loca l se crets and always ready to show you the best time!

JAMBO is special to me because it lets us support great local partners and get to experience things that  most tourists don't.

I travel a lot for work, so to be honest, I'm very hard to impress. For an experience to make it into a JAMBO trip, it needs to be truly epic, beautiful, and genuine — nothing gimmicky or easily replicated.

THE JAMBO STORY

We grew up watching National Geographic and dreaming of being in the world's craziest destinations. But since working in the travel industry, we realised why these dream destinations often stay as just dreams:  

🏕 Some regions such as Central Asia are vast and wild, making it difficult to plan your own trip. Travel options tend to be backpacker-style, which means roughing it out and maybe even not bathing (!) for multiple days. This is traditional adventure travel, which tends to sacrifice safety and comfort.

🚎 Other destinations like Africa have a bustling tourism industry, with a lot of standard, packaged tours. Travel routes aren't always the most efficient (meaning lots of hours on the road), and the experiences aren't always well-curated. When we're putting together a JAMBO itinerary, sometimes we spend hours on the road on recce trips, only to reach a location that's underwhelming (and we strike it off the list)! 

We believe that adventure travel can be better than this. Travelling to epic destinations should be easy, safe, and stress-free. Our team carefully tests every activity to curate the best itinerary for each destination — with bucket-list locations, hidden gem experiences, and every part of your journey in complete comfort and ease.

It's also important for us to work with the local community, finding trusted partners who know their country like the back of their hand. That's a huge inspiration behind our name, JAMBO (meaning Hello in Swahili), a simple yet powerful word that can make any stranger smile! ​It's how we want to experience the world — diving headfirst into new cultures with fellow travellers and guides-turned-friends.  

Join a JAMBO trip and let us show you adventure travel at its best!

WHY TRAVEL WITH JAMBO?

LOCAL AND REAL

Our guides are true locals of the country, who don't just know everything about their home, but are also extremely passionate about sharing their country with you.

We believe this is the best way to experience a place, with hidden gem activities and accommodations that are owned and run by trusted local hosts.

ADVENTURE TRAVEL AT ITS BEST

Adventure travel doesn't have to be difficult or uncomfortable. 

When you travel with JAMBO, you can immerse in extraordinary experiences while being comfortable, safe, and stress-free, even in the world's wildest destinations.

FILLED WITH WOW

We're travellers like you, and we try out every experience to curate the most epic, all-rounded itinerary.  Our JAMBO tours are lovingly crafted from the best tried-and-tested activities, put together into a dream trip!

Never mediocre or forgettable.

Always filled with magic moments that make you feel alive.

About Ethiopia

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is located in the north-eastern part of Africa commonly known as the Horn of Africa. It is strategically proximate to the Middle East and Europe, together with its easy access to the major ports of the region, enhances its international trade. It is bordered by the Sudan in the west, Somalia and Djibouti in the east, Eritrea in the north and Kenya in the south. The country covers 1,112,000 square kilometres (472,000 sq. miles) making it roughly as large as France and Spain combined and is five times the size of the UK.

From the north and running down the center are the Abyssinian highlands. To the west of the chain the land drops to the grasslands of Sudan, to the east to the deserts of the Afar. South of Addis Ababa, the land is dominated by the Rift Valley Lakes.

Ethiopia’s central plateau varies in height between 2,000 and 3,000 meters. In the north and center of the country there are some 25 mountains whose peaks rise over 4,000 meters (13,200ft), the highest being Ras Dashen at 4,543 meters (14,538ft).

Populations

With a population of about 110.14 million, Ethiopia represents a melting pot of ancient cultures with Middle Eastern and African cultures evident in the religious, ethnic and language composition of its Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic and Nilotic peoples. The Ethiopian peoples comprise about eighty nationalities of which the Amhara and the Oromo constitute the majority, with about 60 percent of the total population. Approximately 85 percent of the population live in the rural areas. The annual population growth rate is about 3.09 percent, and the economically active segment, between ages 14 and 60, is about 50 percent of the total population. Ethiopia is a Federal Democratic Republic composed of 9 National Regional States (NRS) – Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR), Gambella and Harari – and two administrative councils – Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. The NRS and the Administrative councils are further divided into 62 zones and 523 woredas.

Travelling to Ethiopia means returning to the origin of Mankind.

Jambo.... simply the best!

From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, we were charmed with the professionalism, friendliness and warm attitude of the Jambo members. We felt welcome! Especially, our guide, Joshua. He was our best friend from the first minute we met, and he will always stay in our minds as a very witty, intelligent, clever and warm person. We never felt unsafe or abaned to our fate.It would not have been such a wonderful holiday with Joshua and the Jambo organisation. Please don’t ever change….. stay exactly the way your are! So a big thank you, Jambo will always be in our minds and in our hearts! If you ever need references, send your clients to me and I will take a few hours to tell them everything! We’ll meet again, don’t know when, don’t know where… but I hope it is in a Jeep somewhere in Africa! Ron & Chris.

Beste Ron, Jullie hebben herinneringen voor het leven gemaakt! Nu is het tijd om lekker na te genieten en uiteraard hopen we u in de toekomst nog eens als klant te mogen begroeten. Groet, Berry

We enjoyed our trip very much

We enjoyed our trip very much! No bad surprise, food was good, the parks were great. I think the park we enjoyed the least was Lake Manyara but was still nice! The lodges/ camps were all top quality, with a very good service. No negative points at all. Our driver was very professional, he made every possible effort to make the trip enjoyable. He was also patient when the children were a bit noisy… What l didn't Like very much was the visit of the Masaï village. We did it for our children so they could see that certain people live a very different life (to say the least!), but it really lacks spontaneity. I’m afraid it cannot be otherwise though…

Dear Ms Richard, Thank you for your kind words. We hope you will have long memories of this great trip! Best Regards, Joyce

Safari Tanzania

I only have high praise for Jambo. The communication by phone or e-mail was always pleasant. They saw to our every wish and were so helpful. Nothing was too much for them and I always had a good feeling about them. Everything ran as clock work from being met at Kilimanjaro airport to the transfer to Zanzibar and the flight home. Our private Safari was fantastic and everything was perfect. All the accommodations were excellent and the service in each was of the highest standard. Our guide/driver from Leopard Tours was very informative and always discussed the days program with us beforehand. The balloon Safari on the Serengeti was one of the many high points and not to be missed. After the Safari it was great to be able to relax for 5 days on Zanzibar. I highly recommend Jambo!!

Date of experience : August 06, 2022

Dear Brian, I’m glad that everything went smooth and you had a fantastic trip. Your appreciation for our communication is mutual. Thank you so much for your kind words, Joyce

Wildlife & Nature

Tanzania contains about 20% of the species of Africa's large mammal population, found across its reserves, conservation areas, marine parks, and 17 national parks, spread over an area of more than 42,000 square kilometres (16,000 sq miles) and forming approx. 38% of the country's territory.

Culture & Tradition

African Tradition is expressed through many different art forms, such as music, dance, art, sculpture and beadwork. These traditions are deeply ingrained into the whole African culture. Many African languages are “tone languages,” meaning that pitch level determines meaning.

Scenery & More

The physical geography of East Africa is dominated by the Great Rift Valley, which extends through the middle of the region from north to south. Associated with the rift valleys are vast savannas such as the Serengeti Plain, large lakes, high mountains, and the highlands of Ethiopia

Community service

             We are speeking about the process where community members are supported by agencies to identify and take collective action on issues which are important to them. Community development empowers community members and creates stronger and more connected communities. Its key purpose is to build communities based on justice, equality and mutual respect. Community development involves changing the relationships between ordinary people and people in positions of power, so that everyone can take part in the issues that affect their lives.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.  

Tell us your destination, date, and group size.

Our team of travel experts and guides will design a tailored itinerary just for you., enjoy your trip with peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of..

This Iconic Tour Operator Now Offers Private Jet Trips With Exclusive Tours — Here's What It's Like

Once you get a taste of the private jet life, it’s hard to go back to flying commercial.

“Yahoo!” yelled Jason, our safari guide from Manchester.

The sound echoed back to us. We had climbed onto a precipice overlooking a deep gorge in the mountains. We weren’t on safari in Africa, though — we were in Crete, the largest island in Greece.

Jason and two other guides had picked up our group of 11 (including our resident tour director, Kapi) at Daios Cove , the luxe resort on a secluded bay where we were staying, and after just a few minutes, we were driving on rocky unpaved roads up into the mountains. Now and then, we would stop on the side of the road, and Jason would grab some wild sage or thyme and give it to us to smell.

It’s especially fitting that we were doing a safari on Crete because that’s how Abercrombie & Kent originated: Geoffrey Kent was born on safari, raised on a farm in Kenya, and founded Abercrombie & Kent with his parents in 1962.

Over the years, A&K grew from a pioneering safari operator into one of the world’s leading travel companies that brings people worldwide. I was lucky enough to embark on a whirlwind tour of India with A&K a few years ago and was impressed by how seamless the trip was as well as the quality of the knowledgeable guides, so when I got the chance to join them for a tour of Rome and Crete via private jet, I didn’t hesitate to accept.

But back to Crete. As we rode up into the mountains, passing through little villages, we peppered Jason with questions, and he overloaded us with information about the island, its history, landscape, wildlife, and inhabitants, who identify as Cretan first and Greek second. He told us how Hitler sent his stormtroopers to capture the island in 1943 but was met with fierce resistance from pitchfork-wielding farmers who refused to back down. He showed us the bomb bells on the churches that Cretans made after the war using the tops of undetonated bombs since the Nazis had melted down many of the island’s church bells to make bullets. Fascinating didn't even begin to describe it.

We had arrived in Crete the day prior and went straight from the airport to Lyrarakis Winery , where we learned how the owners revived nearly extinct varietals and tasted four of their wines with lunch. We then visited the ancient Knossos Palace — home of King Minos and the Minotaur — with a wonderful guide named Marinella, who explained how the ancient Greeks had plumbing and flush toilets at the palace. We gawked at the reconstructed frescoes depicting men, women, and animals.

The trip had started in Rome, where an incredibly knowledgeable guide named Eva — who also had a wonderfully dry sense of humor — brought us to the off-limits Church of San Lorenzo in Miranda. Inside the nave, we watched as she and the church’s guardian unbolted and opened a heavy wooden door, revealing breathtaking views of the Roman Forum just below. In the basement, we saw centuries-old pharmacists’ tools and canisters that once held natural remedies. Eva then brought us down into the Forum, led us along a less-trod path to the Curia Iulia (the ancient senate house), and brought us right to the base of Trajan’s Column, regaling us with tales along the way.

The following day, Eva met us bright and early for a tour of Castel Sant’Angelo , known as the pope’s fortress. Originally built as the emperor Hadrian’s tomb, it became a fortress in the 6th century and was the hiding place for Pope Clement VII when Rome was sacked in 1527. Nowadays, you can see models of what it looked like in its previous iterations and climb up to the rooftop terrace for panoramic views of Rome.

After that, we were off to Trastevere — one of Rome’s most charming neighborhoods — for a food tour with Toni and Walter, our guides from Eating Europe . We stopped at la Norcineria di Iacozzilli , where they explained the difference between Parmigiano Reggiano and pecorino romano and gave us a taste of porchetta , the slow-roasted pork that’s a specialty of the hill towns outside of Rome. From there, they led us across the Tiber to Campo de’ Fiori, Rome’s most famous open-air market, where we watched a vendor clean artichokes and got a taste of mozzarella di bufala with fresh tomatoes. Finally, we walked around the corner to a restaurant for a pasta-making class. After eating our homemade ravioli filled with lemon-scented ricotta and tagliatelle all’amatriciana , we walked a few more blocks to the Gelateria Alberto Pica for a sweet end to the tour.

Our next activity brought us to one of Rome’s most incredible hidden gems. A&K had arranged for us to have private access to the Villa Farnesina , a Renaissance villa with frescoes by Raphael. As we stood outside the villa, Eva explained that it should have been called Villa Chigi because the man who commissioned it was the wealthy banker Agostino Chigi, who made a fortune lending money to the popes. On the occasion of his wedding, he commissioned Raphael to paint frescoes depicting the marriage of Cupid and Psyche. I had been there before, but every time I visit, I can’t help but stare up in awe at the figures, knowing that Raphael was in his late twenties when he created this masterpiece.

Dinner that evening was at another one of Rome’s most beautiful places: Le Jardin de Russie restaurant at the Hotel de Russie , which T+L readers consistently rank among the best hotels in the world in our annual World’s Best Awards survey. Our group had a private table in the secret garden, originally designed by Giuseppe Valadier and recently refreshed. It was the perfect setting to enjoy fresh burrata with tomatoes, risotto with pesto trapanese , and sea bream with artichokes served by the hotel’s charming staff. Walking back to the Hotel de la Ville , de Russie’s sister hotel also run by Rocco Forte, we made a little detour to Via Margutta to see where famed filmmaker Federico Fellini lived and the building where some scenes of "Roman Holiday" were filmed.

The next morning, we were whisked off to the executive terminal at Ciampino Airport to board the private jet to Crete. After a brief wait, we put our things through the X-ray scanner, walked through a metal detector, and were bused onto the tarmac to board the jet, which welcomed us onboard with Champagne and snacks. The whole experience couldn’t have been smoother.
