Farafina Travels
Farafina Travels (FT) enable you to gain insights into different African countries beyond the common narrative.
Born out of Farafina Institute, FT introduce you to the people, cultures, histories, politics, environment, and current debates and developments of your travel destination from a local perspective and with an academically-informed concept. Our local guides and moderators show you the hidden beauties of their countries away from the main tourist tracks, enable engagements with local communities, and facilitate insightful exchanges about innovative and functioning approaches and practices in the social, economic (and other) fields in the hosting African countries.
Tours We Offer
We offer a diverse range of carefully curated tours that go beyond the common concept of touristic traveling.
Our aim is to provide you with unique and enriching experiences, allowing you to delve deeper into the people, cultures, histories, politics and current developments of your chosen African destination.
