What is the Talking Drums Travel Experiences?
The Talking Drums Travel Experiences are limited edition group travel tours and trips, to key Africa-focused events in the Diaspora. Where possible, to procure goods and services from Diaspora businesses, to contribute to the local economy.

How do you help travel with impact on a Travel Experience?
With a Talking Drums Travel Experience, you will be travelling with a purpose. Where possible, we source our goods and services from Diaspora and local businesses, and also donate a proceed of profits to initiatives that benefit the local communities to where we travel.
With a focus on having a positive impact, we align our services to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.  We also donate a portion of the proceeds of our travel adventures to a local community initiative in the country we visit.

Who else will be joining the Travel Experience?
We offer this Travel Experience to  a limited number of travellers, to enable a deeply immersive experience.
By the end of the trip, we hope you leave as a community and group of friends.

How did you develop the itinerary?
We believe in travelling with a purpose, in cultural immersions, getting off the beaten track and positive impacts.
Therefore each itinerary has been carefully curated based on over 10 years experience solo travelling across the continent, and multiple trips to the Travel Adventure destinations. We have sourced the best accommodation and experiences, enabling them to be the most diversified and competitively priced, and providing an affordable yet luxurious experience.
 

Do I have to pay the cost all at once?
You have the option to pay the total cost at the time of booking or a deposit of £300 (approx $500).
If you choose the deposit option, you can make additional payments on an ongoing basis.
The final balance will be due four (4) weeks (30 days) before the start of the Experience.
