Self-Care & Service: How You Can Travel with Purpose

Listen, here at Travel Divas, we’re all about travel as a form of escape, even recharging and relaxation. But there’s nothing like traveling intentionally with a goal of refueling your own cup while serving others.

Purpose-driven travel can be a rewarding way to share your gifts and services with communities in far-flung countries that hold space for you to let go and just be.

Divas like Roxie never miss a chance to practice purposeful travel because they love that sense of giving back and purpose while doing something they’re already passionate about – traveling!

Here are a few ways you can lean into the concept of purposeful travel and elevate your self-care in the process:

Minimize Your Ecological Impact

While tourism is wonderful for those of us who are tourists, it can have an unwelcome impact on the communities you visit.

Take a look at Hawaii for example. A constant stream of visitors has adversely impacted the state’s natural beauty and biodiversity. Traveling purposefully can help ensure your footprint on a destination’s climate and culture isn’t one that causes negative effects.

The same way gentrification affects so many of our neighborhoods – tourism can do the same. Traveling purposefully helps keep the culture and what makes that destination so magical intact.

Support the Local Economy

When it comes to trip accommodations – you can certainly choose big chain hotels, but staying at locally owned spots helps pour resources back into the community.

The same goes for where you eat – dining at local restaurants keeps those businesses alive.

When buying gifts for your friends and family, visit local shops and buy directly from artisans and co-ops whenever possible.

If you love to volunteer, go that route! Take a day during a solo trip and volunteer doing something you love. It could be teaching English, art, building a school, or helping out locally.

There are endless options to indulge in travel that benefits both you and your destination.

Check out this blog post for other ways travel can serve as self-care.

Your Insta Feed Isn’t Ready for These Six Picture-Perfect South Africa Spots

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.

Ready to sprinkle your Black girl magic all over South Africa and make these photo ops a reality? Book your reservation with us right here.

SOUTH AFRICA IS CALLING YOUR NAME, DIVA!

Our Essential Packing List for an Ultra-Luxe Safari

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.
