FAQ 

What are Njila trips like?

We explore places through their Black history and the people shaping their culture today. You might spend a morning walking with a local guide, visit an artist’s studio or hear the stories behind a neighbourhood.

There’s room for the rest of your holiday too. Guided visits and shared meals sit alongside time to wander, follow your interests or take a quiet afternoon to yourself.

Where will we stay?

We choose places that give you a comfortable base for the journey, including independent and family-run accommodation. 

How do your tours support sustainability?

For us, sustainability starts with the choices we make about who we work with and where we spend. We prioritise small, independent and family-run businesses, from the places we stay to the guides and hosts who help shape each trip.

Supporting Black-owned businesses and working directly with local people are important parts of that approach. We value their knowledge, pay for their expertise and respect how they choose to share their stories. It’s a way to support local livelihoods while giving you a more personal connection to the places you visit.

We also plan for quieter seasons where possible and leave time to explore rather than rush between sights. We don’t claim that travel has no impact; we aim to make thoughtful choices that benefit the people who call each destination home

Will I have time to explore on my own?

Yes. We leave space in our itineraries for you to enjoy a place independently, rather than planning every hour. The amount of free time varies between trips, so take a look at the daily itinerary to see how your days will unfold.​

​

Can you help with access needs?

Please get in touch before booking and tell us what you need to travel comfortably. We’ll discuss the accommodation, transport and planned visits with you, including any access limitations at historic sites.

We want you to have clear information about what is—and isn’t—possible before making a decision.

Can I collaborate or partner with your organisation?

We welcome collaboration with educators, cultural institutions, artists, researchers, and community initiatives. If you are interested in partnering with us, please reach out through our contact page so we can explore opportunities together.

How much walking is involved?

It varies between trips and from one day to the next. Guided walks and visits to historic places can involve time on your feet, so please ask if you’d like more detail about a particular itinerary.

We’ll talk through the walking requirements before you book, so you can decide whether the trip suits you.
