2019 is a year of major change for Bamba! We’ve updated our image and launched new branding, website and app to make the experience even more seamless for our travellers. One thing that will never change, however, is our dedication to helping like-minded travellers ďŹ nd each other, discover new places, immerse themselves in new cultures, and see more of the amazing planet we share.
THE MEANING
B:
Beauty, brilliance, benevolence...the Bamba B has come to embody so much more than just a name.

When we witness new cultures and new places, we are also able to see ourselves in a whole new light.
We have been helping our fellow travellers achieve their dreams since 2005, and during this time we have expanded to 80 countries and counting! Our mission has always been to make things easier for the independent traveller, with an emphasis on flexibility and freedom. As we’ve adapted to our travellers’ needs, we’ve also created many group tours, voluntours, and tailor-made itineraries to help people see the world in a fun and unique way.

LIVE WITH PASSION
OPEN YOUR MIND
PAY IT FORWARD
MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Life begins at YES! Open yourself up to new adventures and opportunities! Embrace spontaneity and find the courage to try new things, take the road less travelled, and jump head-first into the unknown and the unforgettable experiences that lie ahead.
Get the most out of life by embodying the true traveller’s spirit of curiosity and excitement. Get lost in new places, meet incredible people, and challenge yourself to gain different perspectives. With an open heart and mind, anything is possible!
Everyone needs a little love in their life! Endeavour to bring happiness and joy to others, in whatever way you can. Bring a smile to someone’s face, lend a listening ear, be patient, go beyond what is expected and always make time for a friend in need.
We live for adventure and travel, and that passion flows into everything we do here at Bamba. If you always give your best effort and find joy in even the smallest things, you can stand proud when you look back on a life of passion, drive and excitement.
We are all in this together and have an equal share in the responsibility to look after our beautiful planet and our communities. The smallest action can make a big wave, so always strive to make the world better for yourself and others.
Create and innovate! Seek ways to constantly better yourself, your environment, and your community, and never settle for less than the best. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, take risks, and evaluate new options! To live outside the box is to be brave, bold, and brilliant.

SUSTAINABILITY
BAMBA
As citizens of the world, we all share the responsibility to protect our beautiful planet. Now, more than ever, we need to reduce our impact while learning from and educating others to do the same. Our strong commitment to support the communities we visit and their local economies is reflected in our products and partners.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Part of this great responsibility is standing up for animal welfare. That’s why we have vowed to end the cruelty of animals in tourism in partnerships with World Animal Protection, Too Rare To Wear and See The Wild. We have also banned any cruel activity from our tours, like elephant riding, shows using animals as entertainment, and direct interactions with wild animals.
FOR VOLUNTEER & MAKE A DIFFERENCE

GOOD bambatravel.com
You can create positive change by taking part in a Voluntour and giving back during your travels! Our Voluntours are designed to give you the opportunity to help others and make a difference in local communities. The trips can be short in duration, but they have a huge impact in the locals. Choose the program that fits your interests, and experience something that will give you a deeper understanding of the world in which we live.

SAFE & RELIABLE
TRANSPORTATION True travel is not just about the destination, it’s about the journey. That’s why we hand-pick our transport to be as comfy and interesting as possible! Check out our most common modes of transport… “The travel, particularly partners used in Vietnam and Cambodia is of an excellent standard night buses have never been so comfortable! courtyard and a nice bar area.” - Jack B
BUS
SHUTTLE/VAN
FERRY
If you are travelling on a Hop-on Hop-off or Self-Guided itinerary, most of your transport will be by public bus. Travel as the locals do in comfortable coaches for day transfers and overnight rides.
Enjoy a more intimate type of transport with smaller shuttles/vans. For small group tours, you will often travel in a private van, whereas on independent trips you will share the van with other passengers.
For some itineraries, you may travel on ferries or boats, whether it is a shared service to your next destination, or the mode of transport of a tour, like cruising on jungle rivers or sailing to pristine islands.
4X4 JEEPS
TRAIN
PLANE
For some off-the-beaten path adventures, an exciting ride in a 4x4 jeep will be included. Explore remote places like the otherworldly Uyuni landscapes or go on safaris in these all-terrain jeeps.
Travelling by train is a great way to get from A to B, see beautiful landscapes, and kick back and relax in comfort. Trains are the primary transport in our Japan and Siberia tours, among other destinations.
For those with a more flexible budget, our self-guided Air-Expeditions can replace long bus journeys with more convenient flights. Get to out-of-the-way destinations in a blink! Note: Plane tickets from/to your home country are not included in any of our packages

This tour company was absolutely astounding from friendly chefs cooking gourmet food, to the gorgeous views every step of the way, to the perfect-sized group, to the challenging but enjoyable hiking difficulty level, this trek surpassed my expectations in every way possible!”

SAFARI
Get in touch with nature, and experience the excitement of staying in the wild with some of the world’s most unique and beautiful animals roaming close by. Although each game reserve has its own range of lodging options, we have considered three main accommodation categories for our safaris and described them below. For specific accommodation details for each safari package, please check online at www.bambaexperience.com !
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS BUDGET
This is the perfect option for budget travellers who want to keep costs down and experience the African wilderness firsthand!
MEDIUM-RANGE
This option is ideal for travellers wanting more comfort and more amenities than a budget camping experience.
Traditional Lodge:
Traditional Lodge:
Pitch your own tent at a campsite with shared toilets and showers. You can either bring your sleeping bag or rent one locally.
Experience a safari in the comfort of African lodges with ensuite bathrooms, quality service, and great meals. Some lodges offer incredible views overlooking the national parks and sometimes even a refreshing pool.
Revel in the comfort of cosy African lodges with ensuite bathrooms, highquality service, and local meals. The lodges offer spectacular views and may include a swimming pool. They will provide everything you need for a very comfortable stay.
Tented Lodge:
Tented Lodge:
Occasionally, you will stay in permanent tents with beds and mosquito nets.
With more amenities than a regular camping tent, these permanent tented lodges often come with an ensuite bathroom and a cosy bed, rather than a sleeping bag.
Budget Hotel: On certain tours you will sleep in budget hotel rooms, offering a simple but comfortable stay.
DAYS
On certain safaris, you will have the possibility of choosing this more luxurious accommodation category.
