Explore Authentic Indigenous Cultures in Tanzania, Norway & Papua New Guinea

Explore Beyond the Ordinary

At Visit Natives, we don’t offer mainstream travel. We craft immersive, ethical adventures that connect you with Indigenous cultures, remote landscapes, and real human stories. Travel with us and you might find yourself herding reindeer with Sami herders in the Arctic tundra of Norway, witnessing a sacred Maasai ceremony in Tanzania, or learning survival skills from the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on Earth. You may even journey to Papua New Guinea’s most remote tribal villages, where few travelers have ever set foot.
 

These aren’t typical trips.
They’re deep cultural experiences that stay with you for a lifetime.


Every journey is:
Led by Indigenous guides, rooted in mutual respect and local knowledge, and curated by a woman-founded company committed to ethical exploration.

At Visit Natives, we believe in sustainable tourism that honors the rich cultural heritage of indigenous peoples such as the Maasai and Hazabe of Tanzania, the Sami reindeer herders of Norway, and tribal communities in Papua New Guinea.

 

Every stay booked with us directly benefits local indigenous communities, ensuring that the people who welcome you are supported and empowered.
 

The indigenous people are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. We maximize benefits to our indigenous hosts and the environment.

We allocate a portion of our revenue to safeguard indigenous heritage while boosting the capacity and economic development of indigenous communities.

Visit Natives was born from the love to explore the world and live amongst the indigenous people.
