"I am so grateful for my life 💜 God continues to bless me with wonderful memories.

...I learned so much and experienced so many emotions while learning valuable life lessons. Being a single Black Wombman, traveling was also an experience. Thank you @blacktravelfest #BTFKenya 2022 for such a wonderful adventure.

I will be going to the MOTHERLAND again. I am learning to love myself more each day, and this trip contributed to me learning how to one day at a time."

- Joan

"Traveling to Africa was an experience of a LIFETIME!"

"I am so glad that I chose to make my first pilgrimage here with a company that is not only Black-owned, but it is female Black-owned, just means the world...

For anyone that is looking for an authentic experience, something that is curated beautifully and with so much love and intent, please take a chance to travel with BTF. I am eternally grateful for having had this opportunity..."

- Ranata

"The BTF experience has been something I'll always cherish as my first experience to the continent of Africa."

City life and turn up,

the safari,

and an epic beach experience!

Why Kenya?

Zanzibar is truly a unique destination for Black Travel Fest because you get...

All in one experience...

Oh, and don’t forget the mouthwatering food, shopping, and good vibes!

Slider

hear from those who traveled with us

This experience is for you if:

...YOU love the beach

...YOU enjoy eating local food

...YOU crave thrilling experiences

...YOU love nature and wildlife

...YOU long to immerse yourself in rich cultural experiences

We’d absolutely love to have you! But, if your ideal vacation involves a lot of relaxation on the beach daily and sleeping in this experience is not for you. Although, we will be seeing and doing it all during our time in Kenya, so if you are looking for a slow paced trip this is likely not your jam.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

"Kwaheri means goodbye in Swahili, and seeing this sign meant my time in Kenya was officially over...

@blacktravelfest is getting bigger and better every year, and I'm happy to see and be in it. Everyone was great from turning up the first night to the last of us playing spades in the airport lol.

I have a long journey before I see home but I'm coming.

"Thanks to Deirdre for coordinating another amazing experience."

"Hakuna Matata 🙏🏾 One of the most life changing experiences so far...

I was blessed to see lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, buffalos, giraffes, hippos, elephants, and SOOO many more creatures! Our guide kept us safe and taught us so much about the wildlife, and made sure we were able to get some great shots of the animals.

We also visited a Maasai village where the Maasai men and women performed some traditional dances and they allowed us to tour their homes and community..."

- Ayana

"My safari trip to Maasai Mara was amazing.”

"As my trip comes to an end, this has been again a great adventure.

I don't know what I was thinking, but I am sure I was in awe of all the natural beauty around me.

Ever felt at home and at peace, but yet so far from where your reality is. This trip did just that for me.

I hope you all enjoyed my journey from Kenya to Tanzania. My dope soul is doing some sh$%! Until my next adventure. #btfkenya"

- Carla

"The Motherland is just that breathtaking."
