About Tribe

The Whole Story

Tribe is a philosophy turned into a hotel. It is a place that has flipped the conventional business hotel on its East African ear. The philosophy is; one planet, one tribe. It manifests that we are all part of one tribe, and that in today’s world of internet communities we share in the things we want, especially when it comes to travel. We want comfort and security and peace of mind, and we want efficiency and personal service, but we also want things to be fun and different. All these things is what Tribe strives to be.

Set in Nairobi’s leafy diplomatic suburb of Gigiri, ten minutes from the city centre, Tribe has the unparalleled advantage of being next door to the Village Market – the largest shopping and recreation complex in Eastern Africa. It is ultra luxurious and comfortable, and equipped to the eyeballs with all the high tech gear any traveller might desire. But it is also so different that it will put you under the African skies at night while dining on epic food seated at islands in a vast swimming pool. It will give you and your wife a cosy fireplace to take the chill off the night, with the one difference that the fireplace is in the swimming pool. Expose yourself to the exciting dynamic side of East Africa instead of hiding away in a boring multinational brand name.

The Rooms

Dramatic and dazzling, but discerning. The rooms at Tribe work on a combination of design and functionality. Striking African fabrics, textures, colours and handmade furniture contrast with king sized beds, flat screen TVs and open plan bathrooms. All the luxury details such as power showers, satellite channels and Wi Fi internet are featured in the room, but somehow Tribe makes sure you know you’re in Africa.
