Frequently asked questions
What is Ngongo? +
Ngongo is an expert-access marketplace that helps you find and book time with people who are already doing what you want to do. Read their story, see what they have built and spend time with them in their real working environment.
Why would I use Ngongo? +
Some decisions involve serious time and money. Spending time with someone who has already been through the journey can help you understand the real costs, market, challenges, mistakes and decisions before making a major commitment of your own.
What is a Ngongo experience? +
A Ngongo experience is a bookable in-person visit with an expert. You choose the person first, then select a Discovery or Immersion offered through their profile.
What am I actually booking? +
You are booking time and access with an expert. Depending on the experience, you may observe their work, see their systems, ask questions, discuss costs and decisions, and take part where appropriate.
Who are Ngongo experts? +
Ngongo experts are real people with genuine experience of building, creating, operating or mastering something others want to understand. They may be farmers, entrepreneurs, builders, creators, craftspeople, property developers or other practitioners. They do not need to be famous or have teaching qualifications.
Is Ngongo a course or training platform? +
No. Ngongo is an expert-access marketplace. The focus is spending time with practitioners in their real environments rather than taking a conventional course or classroom programme.
What is the difference between Discovery and Immersion? +
Discovery is a shorter in-person visit,
usually 2–4 hours.
Immersion is a deeper visit, usually
2–7 days, giving you more time alongside
the expert to understand their operation,
decisions and everyday reality.
What is a Support Call? +
A Support Call is a paid 30- or 60-minute online follow-up with an expert you have already visited through Ngongo. It is designed for the point when you begin applying what you saw and later have a real question, problem or decision to discuss.
Can spending time with an expert prevent costly mistakes? +
No expert can remove every risk. However, seeing the reality first-hand and asking someone about costs, markets, mistakes and decisions can help you identify issues you may not have considered before committing serious time or money.
Can accommodation be included? +
Yes. A host may include accommodation, offer it as an optional extra or ask visitors to arrange their own. Always check the experience details before booking.
Does Ngongo organise my visit? +
No. The expert creates and delivers their own experience. Ngongo provides the marketplace for discovery, booking, payment and communication.
Does Ngongo organise accommodation or travel? +
No. Visitors arrange their own travel and accommodation unless the expert clearly includes those things in their experience.
Who can become a host? +
People with genuine real-world experience and something meaningful they have built, created, operated or mastered may be able to host. You do not need to become a teacher or create a course.
Can I contact a host before booking? +
Yes, where pre-booking messaging is available. You can ask relevant questions before booking, and after booking use messaging to confirm practical arrangements.
