Featured partner: karibu adventures
karibu is a new kind of travel company that digs below the surface to take you to unexpected places and introduce you to people you would not otherwise meet.
karibu was created as an antidote to mediocre, conveyor belt travel that often wrecks popular destinations and contributes little to the planet or our own well-being. We do not follow the crowd, and we partner with local and Indigenous communities and businesses. By choosing karibu, travelers are opting to take care of themselves and help protect the unique magic of every place we visit.
