Founder’s Story

Molweni. Hola. Namaste.

The idea for Thandeka started back in 2008 when I was living in Cape Town, traveling throughout Africa, and working with Grassroot Soccer, an NGO that uses sport to engage with adolescents and support them in making healthy life decisions.

I realized that travel could be a huge conduit for change. A change in the way we see ourselves and the way we see other. If designed in the right way, travel could create a series of experiences that would slowly accumulate on our soul, and leave us more closely connected with others than before.

Together, Thandeka clients form a collective of thoughtful travelers that want to explore beautiful places and meet beautiful people along the way!

We look forward to welcoming you soon,

- Erin (Thandi) x

A miracle is more than an event: it is an invitation. It says, ‘The universe is bigger than you thought it was.’
