Our business model, leveraging economic changes within Africa, is built in a way that ensures we can stand the test of time. We are sustainable long into the future through our ongoing global market trend analysis.

Over the years, we’ve come to understand which products are fundamental in ensuring successful travel experiences. We learned that being able to guarantee quality is sometimes only possible with full ownership, including the training of our own tourist guides, provided by our own training platform at the TDM Guide Academy. It is only then that a product can be crafted to exact specification, and standards – from service to support – maintained consistently.

We have therefore developed our own product portfolio, including private scheduled guided multi-day and day tours, meet & greet services, transfers and charters, scheduled self-drive tours, in the inbound leisure sector. Within the Sports & Leisure sector, products include guided skiing, scuba diving, sports package, school sports, and adventure tours.
