Meet Travel Black

Travel Black is built on a lifelong connection to people, place, and purpose. Built on the vision of Mohamed Baba, whose journey began in Cape Town as a guardjie (taxi conductor) and later a minibus driver on Strand Street, the brand is rooted in a deep, lived understanding of movement, service, and human connection. During the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mohamed's path led into tourism and the beginning of a career dedicated to shaping meaningful travel experiences. Over three decades, Mohamed has built and led businesses grounded in a simple but enduring belief: travel is about people, not just places.

We are proud that this philosophy shapes us at Travel Black today, informing every experience and journey we create. Travel Black is also guided by meaningful partnerships and relationships. Most significantly, we carry forward the legacy of our friend, Craig David Garrod-Smith, whose impact continues to be honoured through our name itself, his gift to us. Travel Black is rooted in personal experience, built on trust, and shaped by a deep belief in the power of people.

ASK ANOTHER QUESTION

"I had the privilege of working with Mohamed Baba from the day we started."

As the founder of New Frontiers Tours in 2004, I had the privilege of working with Mohamed Baba from the day we started. As our primary wheels provider, it is no exaggeration to say that he was integral in the success and growth of the company. From a business perspective, he set incredibly high standards – in his fleet, his operation, his drivers and staff. He fully appreciated the importance of his role in the tourism wheel, and was meticulous in ensuring that every service was delivered to the highest quality. Having come through the ranks of the industry, he understood every aspect, from driving to guiding to operations sales and management, and was extremely hands on.

I cannot stress enough how punctual, efficient, well presented and professional his whole team was at all times thanks to his guidance and oversight, and importantly able to adapt to the daily challenges that external influences present, from delayed flights, lost luggage, inclement weather and particularly demanding clients.

From a personal perspective, in the 20 years that I have known Mohamed, he has shown at all times integrity, honesty, empathy and an innate desire to deliver only the best for his clients. He takes the success of his clients personally – and takes pride in helping build partnerships built on common values and loyalty.

He understands the importance of open and honest communication, and has a great ability to listen to client needs and understand their requirements, while being flexible and innovative enough to deliver as best he can on them. I placed enormous trust in Mohamed over the 15 years that we worked together, and he never failed to deliver once and only grew my faith in him over time. It was an honour to work through and with him and I would not hesitate in the slightest to do it again – in fact I probably wouldn’t do it without him
