HEY!! 👋 Welcome to TALU!

We’re Tim and Justine, two South Africans based in the UK, fuelled by creativity, curiosity, and a love for storytelling. TALU was born from our own hours of research and a desire to travel deeper: to connect with real people, local cultures, and the traditions that make each place unforgettable. Sustainability guides everything we share, because travel should uplift the communities we visit.

Our Travel Guides handle the logistics so you don’t have to, and our Travel Films bring each journey to life, not just with beautiful shots, but with the human moments that truly matter.

TALU isn’t just about where you go, but how you see the world. Grab a coffee, scroll a little, and start dreaming. 🌍✨
