EXPERIENCE AFRICA DIFFERENTLY
Curated journeys. Authentic connections. Africa from the inside.
Tales of a Travel Bag creates thoughtfully curated travel experiences throughout Africa and beyond—with a unique advantage: we're based on the continent.
From Traveler to Your Connection on the Continent
Travel has always been about more than simply seeing new places for me. It’s about connecting with people, experiencing culture, understanding history, and discovering the stories that make a destination special.
After years of exploring destinations around the world, I made Ghana home. Today, that gives me a unique perspective as the founder of Tales of a Travel Bag: I combine the professionalism of a U.S.-based travel business with relationships and destination knowledge developed right here on the African continent.
I created Tales of a Travel Bag for travelers who want to experience more than the typical tourist itinerary. We create thoughtfully curated journeys that allow you to experience Africa through its people, history, food, landscapes and culture without sacrificing comfort along the way.
Whether you’re joining one of our group journeys or planning a private experience, my goal is for you to return home with more than beautiful photographs. I want you to leave with a deeper connection to the places and people you’ve experienced.
