Our mission

Empower travellers to experience the far-flung corners of the world

For years, trips to remote places have been notoriously exclusive and complicated to plan and book and sadly, the only people losing out are the travellers themselves. We’re on a mission to change this.

We’ve built technology that allows travellers to explore and build their own trip with the help and guidance of our safari experts.

We’re on an exciting and ambitious journey with a lot of challenges ahead - new destinations, markets and technology. Our goal is to bring together a dynamic, creative and diverse team of individuals from around the world that believe in our mission and are excited about the path ahead.

Join us on our journey

We’ve created a travel company that allows you to work from anywhere, sell safaris in an innovative way and travel to world’s wild places.

Work from anywhere

We believe that you should be able to work remotely, from wherever in the world you want and however you want! We are creating a culture built on mutual trust, transparency and belief in a common mission. The Timbuktu platform allows you to work to your own schedule, in a way that fits your agenda and lifestyle.

We’ve designed tools for you

Our trip-builder empowers you, the specialist travel consultant, to easily design trips for your guests. Create itineraries within minutes and manage all your post-booking admin on the move, saving you time to focus on what you love – planning safaris!

Explore remote places

We are strong believers at Timbuktu in getting you, our travel experts, into the world’s far flung corners to experience everything first hand. Understanding the travel logistics on the ground and what makes one remote camp right for certain travellers and not quite right for others is crucial in creating truly memorable experiences for our guests.

Empowering you, the travel consultant

For years, travel planning, especially to remote places, has been a time consuming and overly complex process. Travel consultants often spend hours creating proposals, building costings, hand-crafting itineraries and managing post-booking admin for travellers. We’re trying to change all that with the technology we’ve built.

Create trip proposals instantly

Design trip proposals quickly and easily using our templates or completely from scratch. Chop and change lodges according to the style and budget of your travellers and choose their travel dates and transfers to give them an estimated price.

Authentic destination content

Choose from over 2,000 hand-picked lodges at all styles and budgets and enjoy rich content from over 200 regions, 30 countries and 300 experiences.

Booking dashboard for guests

Automatically collect traveller information and manage customer payments. Your guests have instant access to pre-departure information including what to pack, medical advice and visas.

Simple lead management

Easily manage your traveller bookings and new deal flow using our CRM system, taking the usual manual processes off your hands.

No two days are alike at Timbuktu and I love the variety that each day brings. Unique destinations, a flexible working environment and a creative and user-friendly tech platform mean that I’m always learning and growing.

I can honestly say I've never worked with people as supportive, enthusiastic, passionate and wonderful as this team. Being able to work remotely suits my lifestyle so well too and the Timbuktu platform is clever, forward-thinking and a fresh approach to creating fantastic adventures to Africa.
