The coast that started it.

Sunrise movement, kite lines over shallow water, a cacao ceremony, and dancing that ran later than anyone planned. Zanzibar is where most of the tribe met each other for the first time.

What people took home

It was my first time visiting Zanzibar and to go with Tribe X was just amazing. From the accommodation to the people on the trip it was a beautiful experience. The perfect balance of an organized retreat and independent travel, there were plenty of activities to do, but if you wanted to relax that was also on the agenda. I loved it

I saw TribeX on instagram and decided to join Zanzibar retreat and yes it turned out one of the most awakening experiences of my life! Imagine a week that everything is planned for you, you don't have to worry what to do, where to see, where to eat and also having your own time as much as you want. Can't wait to be part of a retreat again

It was so nice not to worry about what activities to plan, what to eat and how to fill my day. Not only did I arrive at a new, amazing destination, the accommodation was beautiful, the people were kind and welcoming, & the food was outstanding. This was truly special. 5 stars!

My experience in Zanzibar gave me the opportunity to re connect with myself, with others & most importantly disconnect. From sunrise to sunset to dancing in the night, from yoga to kite surfing, the program is taken care of by the team. Having been on many of these programs before, this one was special.
