Black travel has always been a vibrant and empowering movement that celebrates diversity, promotes cultural exploration, and fosters community among Black travelers.
Black travel groups offer a platform for individuals to explore the globe with like-minded companions who share their passion for adventure and a deep appreciation for cultural heritage while rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a global explorer.
Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or just looking to connect with like-minded people who love exploring the vast corners of this world, embarking on a group trip can be life-changing, and I’ve compiled a list of over 25 Black travel groups to choose from to make it happen!
Disclaimer: While these Black travel groups can serve as safe and comfortable spaces for Black travelers, the travel groups listed in this blog post do not necessarily cater solely to the Black traveler.

Nubienne Travel Club is another awesome black travel group! I’ve taken a couple of trips with them so far and love their concept of having tours in Africa and also in little known corners of the world educating travelers on black history, black influence and culture be it in Accra, Fiji islands or Buenos Aires, Argentina! Their packages are easy in the pocket and service is exceptional!
I’m told the founder has lived in 3 or 4 different continents and is multi-lingual and is incredibly a pleasure to work with.
Hi Maggie, thank you for sharing your experience with them! I’ll look into adding them to the list when it’s time to update 💕
