Why did you join the community?
Q&AI joined the community to have a chance to network with likeminded Founders within the travel space, bounce ideas off each other, and get inspiration for what else we can do with Africa Rally Group.
What is your favorite travel destination?
Q&AFavourite destination? This is rather mood and company dependent, however you can't go wrong with Wheelhouse Marina, Senga Bay, Malawi. Everyone should experience the warm waters, vibrant friendly culture, and great food that Malawi has to offer at least once in their lives.
Where do you dream of traveling to?
Q&AMost of the obvious destinations have already been traveling to... I've a habit of living the dream rather than dreaming the dream... but experiencing carnival in Rio de Janero, or taking a drive around Cuba in a classic vehicle is still on the cards.
What was your first travel job?
Q&AFirst travel job? Erm... can I say this one? I've never worked in travel prior to founding a travel company - I originally qualified in International Human Rights Law then ended up working in corporate Fintech for ten years!
What do you want to learn more about?
Q&ASocial media... I'm terrible at it, but learning fast... and hopefully our Instagram / Facebook accounts represent an unpolished honesty in the fact that although we are rough and ready, we are also genuine in what we are representing.
Three words that describe why we should travel?
Q&APeople, Culture, Experiences.

Afternoon Aikande, Great to hear from you and happy to have a chat at WTM. To set the expectation though, we work in a slightly unusual way, with the company policy being to avoid DMCs or middle partners. We send our teams out and build all the itine... show more

Definitely keen for a chat - the appeal of hosting a special event on the world's most remote island is definitely appealing to us. :D Will you be around on the Wednesday? Or failing that, we will have a stand at the Tuesday morning networking session... show more

Awesome! I'll come see you then - I've actually a meeting with Lavonne at Skal on the Wednesday I think as well, so will be good to acquaint myself with where the stand is!

Sounds good to me - perhaps 12:30 on the Monday?
