JOIN US ON A TRIP OF A LIFETIME!

If you’ve been bit by the melanated travel bug after basking in the culturally lit, Black girl-friendly cities of the world and need some inspo for a new trip, look no further than one of West Africa’s most electric metropolises … Ghana!

If you love vibrant culture and lush, tropical paradises then our 3-locale tour of Accra, Kumasi, and the Cape Coast will heat up your travel schedule!

Come back to the Motherland with us, reach your roots, and immerse yourself in Ghana’s rich history and radiance. Here’s a sneak peek at what we have in store for you:

Black & Gold Welcome Home Dinner Party & Cultural Performance

Girlfriend, Ghana knows how to party! Celebrate like they do in the homeland with a black-and-gold-themed, “welcome home” dinner party hosted by your Travel Divas guides. We’ve even curated a special performance from local dancers and musicians that will delight your senses and stir your soul.

The Door of No Return

Visit this symbolic landmark that represents the last place many West Africans saw before being forced into the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Bring your tissues, Divas: this one can be quite the poignant experience. The Door of No Return is a reminder of the shoulders we all stand on and a memory that will stay with you forever.

African Naming Ceremony

Feel the warmth of your ancestors’ embrace as you receive a hand-selected, traditional Ghanaian name during a powerful naming ceremony. You’ll feel closer and more connected than you ever have before – even if your family doesn’t come from Ghana.

GET GOING TO GHANA BEFORE SPACE IS GONE!

In the words of the great Destiny’s Child, we just don’t think you’re ready for this! You see, while the homeland is filled with hundreds of gasp-worthy, breathtaking sights, South Africa holds a special place in our hearts.

National Geographic doesn’t do this country’s beauty justice but this list of Instagrammable spots might help with that.

We’ve scavenged the country for some of the most feed-worthy spots so you can sprinkle your Black girl magic all over South Africa.

Let’s get into it:

Lion’s Head and Cape Point

Lion’s Head

If you love a bit of exercise and the outdoors, then hiking up Lion’s Head is the perfect adventure for you. With paragliders soaring high up in the sky and unbelievably beautiful sunset views, you’ll be delighted by the magical shots here. The two-hour hike is well worth it, trust us!   

Cape Point

Just outside of Cape Town, Cape Point is a photographer’s dream. From rugged cliffs and commanding ocean views to an 1800s lighthouse to climb, there are great photo ops at every turn. It’s no wonder tourists flock here, so be sure to get there a bit after sunrise to take your photos in peace!

Stunning Moorish architecture is so ornate and intricate, you wonder how craftsmen created such geometrically perfect designs and buildings thousands of years ago …

Instagram-famous blue walled-cities that serve as National Geographic-worthy backdrops for your most thrilling escapades …

Canola Fields and Boulder’s Beach

Canola Fields

There’s nothing we love more than Black girl magic – and Black girl joy. Frolic in the fields and show the world exactly that when you visit Canola Fields in Caledon. With huge swaths of yellow flowers, farmland, and vineyards, you’ll feel like a kid again.

Boulder’s Beach

Travel like a Diva and take pictures like one while you roam this beach, famous for its massive penguin population. With clear skies and granite boulders of numerous sizes, you can let your melanin shine here for a variety of Instagram and Pinterest-worthy pics.

Babylonstoren

This fabulous wine farm is a Travel Diva’s dream. Not only can you kiki with your fellow Travel Divas while you sip on some handcrafted wine, but you’ll also get the perfect photo ops. Be sure to visit the Cacti Maze, especially during the late afternoon.

Table Bay

Rent a kayak with your fellow Travel Divas and get pictures with dolphins, whales, and sunfish in this breathtaking bay. Go first thing in the morning and bring a waterproof case so you can get cozy with the water and marine life.

SOUTH AFRICA IS CALLING YOUR NAME, DIVA!

Look, there’s nothing more beautiful and awe-inspiring than a safari. Watching majestic animals in all their natural splendor, roaming African grasslands under fiery red-orange skies – few sights are more spectacular …
 
Except for you and your Travel Divas crew!
 
See, at Travel Divas, we don’t do safaris the way everyone else does. And we know you’re anything but average. Sure, everyone else may go in a tee and sneakers, but you’re not just anyone – you’re a Diva!

That’s why we’re giving you the tea on what you need to pack so your safari trip is drama-free and more importantly, swirling in luxury and style!

Here’s what you should bring:

Clothing – Colors, Types, Materials

Pops of color are perfect for Caribbean getaways, but for safaris, the aesthetic is definitely giving more neutral. There’s a psychological reason behind this: with all the breathtaking wildlife you’ll encounter, you’re more likely to attract attention with bright colors like reds and neons. You’ll get the safest and most observer-like experience sticking to khakis, light browns, greens, and tans so you blend more easily into the environment.

Make sure you pack casual clothes, too – capris, shorts, safari or drawstrings pants, high-waisted leggings, athletic joggers, or loose tees. You’ll be in a hot environment, so make sure your clothes are breathable and not too tight.

Cotton is your best bet, but if you can find other breathable materials, that’s okay too. Anything that’s waterproof on the outside will be helpful too.

Accessories

Bring layers including a light jacket and a scarf, as temps tend to drop once the sun sets at night. These can also make it less likely for bug bites along your ride.

We love a good wide-brim, beige hat and a straw bag that’s lightweight so you can pack sunscreen, lip gloss, your designer shades, and water.

Just because you’re out and about doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put on your jewels, though. Grab yourself a sexy gold bangle and some small round gold hoops.

Make sure you’re rocking comfortable undergarments too – if they’re moisture-wicking, even better.

Bug spray is definitely a must. Don’t forget a small first aid kit and any anti-nausea, motion-sickness, or allergy tablets, along with any medication your doctors prescribed such as malaria tablets.

Wet wipes, a portable charger, a flashlight, and binoculars are great to bring as well.

Last But Not Least

What Not to Bring

Leave the camouflage at home. Depending on what country you’re in, it’s prohibited (such as Zimbabwe). Drones are a no-go in East Africa and leave plastic bags at the hotel if you’re in Kenya or Rwanda.

Last But Not Least

Don’t forget to pack your Black girl magic and an open mind! And if you’re curious as to what kind of safari adventures await you, check out our Africa trips.

RESERVE YOUR TRIP NOW BEFORE IT’S SOLD OUT!

The gentle brush of palms swaying in the wind rocks you to sleep like a lullaby. You drift in and out and wonder ….

Am I dreaming?

Is this real?

Is this paradise?

It surely feels like it is. Your toes are dug into the warm, white sand, giving your hardworking feet a soft massage. 

The soft rise and fall of the clear blue waters caress the shore and urge you out of the best slumber you’ve had in years, as a fellow Travel Diva gently taps you on the shoulders – not wanting you to miss the watercolor sunset.

Definitely a dream, you think. But truth is, it’s not. And, this could be your reality when you travel with us to the serene city of Mahé in Seychelles in East Africa in May 2023.

Here’s a sneak peek of the daydream:

Days & Nights at the Story Hotel, Seychelles

With a balcony view, so you never forget you’re in paradise, you’ll stay in a magnificent junior suite before you attend a cocktail reception with canapes, wine, roses, and more. And of course, we’ll end our week with a traditional Travel Divas farewell dinner composed of Seychelles’ local delicacies.

Afternoon Sunset Cruise

Watch as you unknowingly become the next National Geographic photographer when the sun sets and bursts into hundreds of different colors during our Seychelle cruise … complete with snacks, DJ, and drinks.

Peaks of Paradise

If the name’s any suggestion, then our thrilling trek up Seychelle’s lush greenery and hiking trail will reward you with stunning views of the islands. Of course, we provide you with food and a local guide to keep you safe and feeling good.

Island Hop

Island hop like a diva as you sprinkle your Black girl magic on Praslin and La Digue, visiting national parks, having your photo taken on the world-famous Anse Lazio Beach, and more. 

Ready to go so far away that Calgon couldn’t even reach these depths of paradise? Join us in Seychelles in 2023.
