    We recommend contacting us at least 9-12 months in advance to allow sufficient time for planning, contracting, and customization.

TRAVEL PHILOSOPHY

  • WHAT IS THE SANKOFA PHILOSOPHY?

    Sankofa is an Akan principle that teaches us to "go back and retrieve what has been forgotten." At Remember the Time Cultural Journeys, this philosophy inspires us to honor the past, engage with the present, and help shape a more informed and connected future.

  • HOW DO YOUR JOURNEYS SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES?

    We intentionally seek opportunities to partner with Black-owned and locally owned businesses, guides, historians, artists, chefs, and cultural organizations whenever available. By prioritizing these partnerships, we strive to ensure that tourism directly supports local communities, preserves cultural traditions, amplifies historically underrepresented voices, and creates meaningful economic impact in the destinations we visit.

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY TRIP?

    Cancellation policies vary by journey and will be outlined in the itinerary details and booking documents provided at the time of reservation. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable. Cancellation penalties will apply once final payment has been submitted. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled departure date will result in a 100% cancellation penalty, regardless of the reason for cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to protect your travel investment.

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF A JOURNEY DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF TRAVELERS?

    Some journeys require a minimum number of participants to operate. In the event that a departure does not meet the required minimum, affected travelers will be notified promptly and may choose to receive a full refund or apply their payments toward a future departure date or another Remember the Time Cultural Journey.
