About TEMBEAFRICA

Planning-first, trust-first travel for East Africa

What is TEMBEAFRICA?

TEMBEAFRICA is a planning-only travel platform focused on helping you confidently plan trips across East Africa—specifically Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania—before you book anything.

We believe the best trips start with honest information, not sales pressure. Our platform provides you with realistic expectations, fun facts, and practical advice to help you make informed decisions about where to go, when to visit, and what to expect.

What we ARE

  • A planning tool that helps you discover and research destinations
  • A source of honest, realistic information about East African travel
  • A platform that respects your time and intelligence
  • Free to use with no hidden agendas
  • Focused on helping you make confident decisions

What we are NOT

  • A booking platform—we don't sell flights, hotels, or tours
  • An affiliate site pushing specific operators
  • A review aggregator with fake or paid reviews
  • A platform that hides costs or trade-offs
  • Trying to rush you into decisions

Public Beta

TEMBEAFRICA is currently in public beta. We're actively improving our destination data, itinerary suggestions, and overall experience based on user feedback.

If you notice any inaccuracies or have suggestions, we'd love to hear from you. Our goal is to build the most trustworthy planning resource for East Africa.

Our Trust-First Philosophy

We believe travel planning should be calm, honest, and empowering. That means:

  • No hidden agendas: We don't earn commissions from bookings or recommendations
  • Honest trade-offs: Every destination has pros and cons—we tell you both
  • Realistic expectations: We won't oversell or hide the challenges
  • Your pace: Take your time to research and plan without pressure
  • Verified information: Our data comes from reliable sources and local knowledge

Future: Verified Local Partners

In the future, we plan to connect travelers with verified local experts and operators—but only after you've completed your planning. Partners will never influence our destination rankings or recommendations, and you'll always initiate contact, not the other way around.

Expanding to Southern Africa

While we currently focus on East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania), our platform is designed to expand to Southern Africa in the future. We're building the foundation right, one region at a time.
