Create your own unforgettable journey with The Black Nomad

Our journeys at The Black Nomad are designed to appeal to a diverse range of travelers who share a passion for adventure and a desire to experience destinations on a deeper level. To join a Black Nomad journey, you must be at least 21 years of age at the time of booking.

While there are no upper age limits on our travel experiences, our community of travelers generally falls within the 24-to-39 year-old demographic. This creates a vibrant and engaging atmosphere among like-minded individuals.

Since our travelers embark from various locations worldwide, international airfare to and from the start and end destinations is not included in our package prices. However, we are pleased to offer a service to assist you in arranging your flights – simply request this when making your booking.

The availability listed on our website is updated every minute however on some journeys we must confirm arrangements with our people on the ground, a process which usually takes no more than twenty-four (24) hours. When you book online, you will receive a follow-up email confirming your arrangements or a timeframe for when they will be confirmed. We strongly recommend that you do not make any other non-refundable travel arrangements until you receive confirmation that your space has been held.

When you purchase utilizing our payment plan, a one-time non-refundable deposit is due at the initial purchase to secure your reservation. On the 1st or 15th of every following month (depending upon your initial deposit date), a payment will be due until you’ve satisfied the remaining balance.

If your selected journey departs within sixty (60) days, full payment is required. Initial documents will be emailed to you within forty-eight (48) hours of confirming your booking.

Our initial journey pricing is based on a twin share basis and if you are traveling on your own, you will be sharing a room with another traveler of the same sex. Some journeys may have an optional single supplement available for solo travelers to request their own private suite. The cost and the availability varies by trip, so please refer to each journey summary page for details.

For privacy reasons, we do not provide individual contact details of your fellow travelers in advance. However, once your booking is confirmed, you will be added to a private online group with the other participants on your trip. This group will allow you to connect, share excitement for the upcoming trip, and coordinate any pre-trip questions.

Of course! Our itineraries have scheduled free time, allowing you to truly experience a destination at your leisure. While we’ve put together a wonderful travel experience, we understand that you may have your own must-sees and must-dos. We want to make sure you have the freedom to do just that.

While we try to stay as close to the schedule as possible, everything on the trip is subject to change due to weather and local factors.  We may also make changes, within reason, to the itinerary if we’re able to find a superior experience for the group.

Once your deposit is made and your booking is confirmed, it is non-refundable. However, we understand that plans can change, so we offer a 7-day grace period after your initial purchase during which you can cancel for a full refund.

Our journeys are intentionally kept intimate and often sell out quickly. To ensure a special and well-planned experience for all our travelers, we close our booking window 90 days prior to departure, at which point all details and accommodations are finalized.

We strongly encourage all travelers to purchase comprehensive trip insurance that covers unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or travel disruptions. Due to the nature of organized travel, we are unable to offer full refunds outside of our stated policy.

Here's our cancellation and refund breakdown:

• 90 or more days prior to departure: You will receive a full refund of all payments made, excluding your initial deposit.
• Within 60 days of departure: A cancellation penalty of 50% of the total trip cost will apply.
• Within 30 days of departure: A cancellation penalty of 100% of the total trip cost will apply.

Your safety is our number one concern. Our destination selection process is rigorous and includes site visits and quality checks in advance of the trip to ensure safe conditions for our participants.

It's important that you receive the most accurate and up-to-date travel health information for the region you will be visiting. We suggest visiting the U.S. Department of State website (travel.state.gov) for such info, however keep in mind that a website is no substitute for a personal consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Yes, travel medical insurance is required. Our minimum insurance policy coverage for medical emergency evacuation and repatriation is USD $200,000. Prior to departure, we will verify that all travelers have the required insurance in place and coverage as per the requirements listed above.

You have the choice to use any travel insurance provider you'd like, as long as you send us proof of insurance at least thirty (30) days before the scheduled departure. Failure to provide accurate proof of insurance prior to attending our journeys will result in reservation cancellation.

We have a dedicated Client Care Specialist who will assist you with all of your needs. Please contact us as at info@blacknomad.club. We will respond to your inquiry within one business day. Further, once you’re booked you’ll receive email correspondence and other opportunities to connect with your journey team in the time leading up to your departure.

All documentation is sent electronically via email. Shortly after we receive your payment we will send you your initial confirmation documents. Final documentation will be sent via email no later than two weeks prior to the departure.

It depends. Requirements for travel visas vary widely depending on your nationality and your destination. Although we are unable to arrange visas on your behalf, there are several tools online that will assist in determining whether you are required to obtain a visa, such as https://www.visahq.com. We recommend you look into this early to avoid last minute visa request fees or worse, no visa at all.

Tips are not included in the tour price and tipping is entirely at your discretion.
