Embrace the Motherland on a South African Tour

October 6, 2022 by shanterria

What could be more amazing than sprinkling your Black girl magic across the Motherland? … We can’t think of a better idea, either!

And that’s why we’re so hyped to be heading to this lush paradise on our next South African tour! We’ll be visiting the incredible countries of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana on an extraordinary trip you’ll never forget.

There’s so much to experience here – from the natural beauty of the national parks to the vibrant cities full of exciting nightlife and decadent food, we’re going to explore the best of this beautiful continent. We’ve gone ahead and carefully selected excursions that get you up close and personal with Africa’s finest gems.

Here’s a look at what we have planned …

Discover the Cape

Sometimes described as the world’s most desirable city, Cape Town is a magical place with a lot to offer visitors. Its beauty and sophistication are like nothing else in the world, and we’ll be taking plenty of time to hit all the highlights. Our time there includes a Cape Town City Experience Tour, a trip to stunning Boulders Beach and the acclaimed Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.

The Natural Wonders of Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world and we’re setting out to see as much of it as possible!

The crowning glory here is always Victoria Falls – no matter how many pictures you see of the majestic waterfall, nothing compares to the in-person experience. You’ll feel its thunderous beauty as we embark on a guided walking safari through the rainforest along the edge of the falls.

Safari in Botswana

There’s plenty to experience in Botswana, but the safari is out of this world. We’ll be on boats and in open vehicles to take in all the natural wonders this area has to offer in Botswana Chobe National Park, home to Africa’s largest concentration of elephants and many other native species.

And the unforgettable experiences don’t stop there. We’ll be taking a sunset cruise down the Zambezi River, which is home to crocodiles, hippos and countless wildlife.

Luxury Experiences

If you think our adventures outdoors are incredible, wait until you discover all the little luxuries we’re serving up on this trip. We’ll be staying at The Table Bay Hotel and Victoria Falls Safari Club where you can unwind and relax in best-of-class accommodations.

The Helvetia & Bristol in Florence: A Black Girl Magic Overview

September 29, 2022 by shanterria

If you’ve never been to Florence before, let us just tell you this: it truly is every bit as wonderful as what you’ve seen on those Pinterest boards and Instagram reels.

One of our favorite places to sprinkle Black girl magic, this Italian gem boasts magnificent medieval architecture, world-class art galleries and museums, amazing food and wine and of course, unsurpassed shopping.

Here at Travel Divas, we never get tired of exploring this city and you won’t either, especially when you’re laid up in luxury at the Helvetia & Bristol – our 5-star home base in Florence.

There’s truly no better hotel in Florence than the Helvetia. Here’s why:

Florence’s First Luxury Hotel

Few can claim they’ve been in the luxury game for a hundred years, but Helvetia & Bristol can. They’ve been up-leveling hotel accommodations since 1885. But no need to worry about outdated furniture or décor. They commissioned renowned interior designer Anouska Hempel to transform the gorgeous courtyards, private terraces and decadent bedrooms into a modern

A Restaurant For Every Craving

Get an indulgent start to the day with warm, buttery baked goods, with fresh cream and jams followed by delicious espresso. Then, take a Diva lunch inside the blue-painted walls of the Cibreo Caffe before unwinding with a crisp glass of prosecco made just a few towns away in Tuscany at the Cibreo Ristorante for dinner.

Rooftop Views of Florence

Put on your sexiest black dress and head to the rooftop terrace as you gaze out into the Florence streets. You’ll have a direct view of the Duomo that’s so breathtaking you might use up all your phone’s memory trying to capture it all. Nestled in the heart of the historic center, the hotel is a short walk from Palazzo Strozzi, the Duomo and via de Tornabuoni, the most famous shopping street in Florence.

LA SPA

It’s giving aesthetics. It’s giving influencer. It’s giving “I don’t need to go back home, I can just live here” vibes. This historic wellness spot is situated where the ancient Roman baths once stood. That means you’ll feel like a Roman goddess whether you’re laid up in the pool, decompressing in the salt room or getting massaged by the spa’s expert massage therapists.

Can you believe that’s just the hotel? The trip itself is filled with so much more magic. Get your wand and transport over to this link to see how Divas do it up in Florence: https://thetraveldivas.com/trip/florence-tuscany-2023/

September 27, 2022 by shanterria

Incredible architecture, world-famous masterpieces and to-die-for Tuscan cuisine and wine. These are just 3 of many compelling reasons to visit Florence. But if you ask us, we’re headed to this top travel destination for the Gs.

If you thought money when you read that, you’re our type of girl. While we’re always up for more of those Gs, we’re actually talking about the Gs you likely have on your belt, wallet or handbag: Gucci!

When you sprinkle your Black girl magic with us on the bougiest, most luxurious group travel tour there is (that’s us, by the way!) in Florence and Tuscany in September 2023, we’re dedicating an entire afternoon to everything Gucci.

Yep, you’ll be immersed in ALL the luxury of this iconic brand but without the movie drama. Let’s get into it:

Lunch at the Gorgeous Gucci Osteria

The country’s finest chefs have curated a decadent menu of contemporary Italian delights that will have your mouth watering! From pasta mista and squid broth to purple corn tostadas with marinated bonito to mozzarella and strawberry salads to affogato with coffee and fior di latte ice cream – you’ll have the most memorable culinary experience of your life. Of course, you’ll have a premium selection of wines to accompany your meal.

With a private dining room full of Gucci-adorned, antique gilded mirrors and green velvet chairs, Gucci Osteria is cozy, irreverent and in their own words – poetic. We think it’s fit for a Diva!

An Eye-Opening Tour of the Gucci Garden Museum

See some of Gucci’s most historic designs, from clothing to shoes to handbags, as you wander the halls of this exquisitely-appointed museum. There’s even a mini-cinema where you can watch an artistic history of the famous brand. By the end of the day, you’ll be an expert on all things Gucci.

Shop ’Til You Drop at the Gucci Boutique

Of course, no visit to Florence is complete without a shopping spree at THE Gucci Boutique. You’ll have the opportunity to score one-of-a-kind designs at the Gucci Garden Boutique.

If you ask us, Gucci wallets, loafers, sunglasses and chain bags are always the move. Those iconic double-G’s will NEVER go out of style.

Now, that’s just ONE afternoon of the luxury you’ll experience when you allow us to pamper you on an unforgettable Italian getaway to Florence and Tuscany.

You won’t BELIEVE all the ways you’ll be spoiled – we’re talking wine country tours, gelato classes and so much more!

7 Singapore Facts That’ll Make You Book a Flight ASAP

September 15, 2022 by shanterria

Sure, you’ve been to some pretty luxe destinations before. But Singapore? It’s on a whole ’nother level.

For many, the movie Crazy Rich Asians was a first look inside this ultra-wealthy destination, but this city has always been on the cutting edge of luxury and opulence.

See, Singapore is an intoxicating blend of tropical paradise, multicultural metropolis and futuristic vanguard that keeps it on the top of travel bucket lists year after year. Here are 7 reasons why Singapore should be on your radar right now:

#1: The Night Safari is On & Poppin’.

Visit the world’s first night zoo for an amazing, unforgettable excursion. The Night Safari is a huge park with over 1,000 nocturnal animals spanning 120 species! Bring some of your fellow Divas along for a fun, late-night tram ride after you’ve explored the walking trails.

#2: It’s Home to the World’s Tallest Indoor Waterfall.

Have you ever heard of an airport with a waterfall inside? Well, that’s what you’ll find at the Jewel Changi Airport complex. Surrounded by lush garden terraces, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall is 131 feet. You’ll feel as if you’re in a scene from the movie Avatar. Don’t forget to check out Singapore’s other magnificent man-made waterfalls at Jurong Bird Park, Cloud Forest and Gardens by the Bay.

#3: It’s One of the World’s Greenest Cities.

Did you know half of Singapore’s land area is covered in greenery? That means any time you need an escape from the city’s bustling activities, you’ll be steps away from a little serenity. The Buit Timah Nature Reserve is a great place to start – it boasts more tree species than in all of North America!

Inside the city’s most famous gardens are thousands of Instagram-worthy moments in bloom. At the National Orchid Garden, you’ll get a chance to appreciate the budding Divas of the plant world – the park calls their plants VIPs!

Let your inner child come out to play at the incredible Gardens at the Bay. With playgrounds, cloud forests, sky-high observatories, flower domes and more – we think this might just be our favorite spot in Singapore. It’s like an amusement park meets botanical gardens meets futuristic city all-in-one!

#6: Food is King, Queen, Prince & Princess Here.

Singapore is giving culture alllll day long. No matter if you’re at a weekend festival, a rugby tournament or a Grand Prix race, you’ll find that Singaporean cuisine is literally worth the entire trip.

#7: There Are Over 64 Islands.

Singapore isn’t just a city; it’s a collection of islands that will make you feel like you’ve visited dozens of different countries in just one trip. Sentosa is a popular spot with resort vibes while St. John’s Island and Sisters’ Islands are perfect for quieter moments. Either way, there’s never a shortage of places to explore.
