Talking Drums is a sustainability-focused Africa travel company and marketplace.

 

We are the foremost Africa travel company, curating group and private trips across Africa, connecting like-minded travellers 

and promoting positive impact in travel.

 

Named after the African traditions of communication (or calling and responding through drumming), Talking Drums aims to educate and inspire people to travel Africa, sustainably and responsibly by:

• leaving nothing but footprints

• getting off the beaten track

• supporting local businesses.

​

And with Africa having the highest percentage of entrepreneurship and female entrepreneurship in the world, we are determined to support them - by sourcing  products and services from entrepreneurs, artisans and artists across the Motherland as much as possible, both on and off the beaten track.

​

​

What we offer​

• Travel Adventures: Through our Travel Adventures, or group tours, we bring together like-minded travellers and explore Africa! Where possible, procure goods and services from local businesses, to contribute to the local economy. Each itinerary has been carefully curated following extensive experience travelling to each destination, enabling them to be the most diversified and competitively priced.
