Timbuktu was founded in 2014 with a clear mission: to make far-flung corners of the world more accessible by empowering you, our travellers, to explore and build trips, regardless of experience or budget - and save some pennies along the way.
For years, trips to remote places have been notoriously exclusive and complicated to plan and book. But really, the only people losing out are the travellers themselves. We’re on a mission to change this.
Using over 30 years of combined travel experience, we’ve created a content-rich site that showcases our hand-picked crop of amazing journeys and empowers you to chop, change and refine them - or simply build one from scratch - all under the specialist guidance of our experts.
It’s fun and easy, and saves you money. You explore and create; we guide and fulfill your dreams.
