- How We Travel
Travel Your Way. Experience More.
Travel designed around you, not the other way around.
Every traveler has a different reason for going. At AFROJETSET, we create journeys that match the way you want to experience the world—from intimate small-group adventures and vibrant cultural celebrations to private escapes, group travel, and luxury getaways. Each journey is thoughtfully planned to give you meaningful experiences, authentic connections, and the freedom to travel in a way that feels right for you.
How Do You Wish to Travel?
We believe travel can renew the soul. By connecting deeply to our roots, we remember who we are and what we are worth. This is not a highlight reel of a place. It is a doorway back to a story that was always yours.
Small Group Journeys
Our signature. Eight days, one community, a group that feels like family before the trip even starts. Real cultural access, boutique stays, and half of net proceeds staying home.
Carnival & Festival Journeys
Time your trip to the moments a culture shows its whole heart. March with a real Afro-bloco at Bahia Carnival. You do not watch it. You are in it.
Private & Custom Journeys
Every AfroJetset itinerary is one we would take ourselves. Want it built around your family, your pace, your reason for going? We craft it, root to route.
Group & Charter
Bringing your church, your alumni network, your chapter, or your crew? We design full-buyout journeys for diaspora groups who want to travel and give back together.
Luxury Travel
Our bespoke tailor made luxury travel packages start with a minimum spend of $10,000, and include our VIP concierge services, and a trip planned to your each and every specification.
Celebration Journeys
Our Celebration Journeys are created for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, reunions, and other moments worth remembering.
Cultural immersion, and deliberately off the beaten path. We want you to feel like you're visiting long lost family and to root yourself deeply while you travel with us. That's where the transformation happens. You don't watch the culture from a bus window. You're inside it. You're learning directly from the people who live it. You're participating in traditions, sharing meals in homes, and having conversations that shift how you see the world. The experience falls apart at scale, which is why we cap every journey at 15 people maximum.
Head to our website and select the journey that speaks to you. You'll see dates, full itineraries, who's leading it, what's included, and what to expect. Click to book, submit your deposit, and our team will send you everything you need to prepare. We'll check in with you about your travel preferences, any dietary needs, what you want to get out of the journey, and how we can make sure this experience actually transforms you. There's no high-pressure sales call. There's no generic template. We're building this with you because we know that intention matters and that the people who travel with us are different.
We run cultural immersion journeys, wellness retreats, nature expeditions, and fully bespoke luxury trips. Every single one is built on the same foundation: deep access to communities we've spent years building relationships with, small group sizes capped at 15 people maximum, and the understanding that you're not a tourist checking boxes. You're a traveler stepping into spaces where culture is lived, not performed. Our journeys span Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, and Brazil. We also run specialized retreats focused on specific intentions like healing, creative renewal, or professional development.
Book your journey with a 500 USD deposit that reserves your place. The balance is due 90 days before your departure date. We accept all major payment methods and can work out payment plans if you need them. Once you book, you're locked in. If you want to extend your trip beyond the standard 8 days, confirm extension details with our team and we'll set it up when you finalize payment. If circumstances change, we have a clear cancellation policy that's fair to you and to the communities counting on this work. Email our team when you book and we'll walk you through everything.
It goes straight into the communities we travel to, not as one-time donations but as standing relationships funded by every single journey we run. Right now that means:
Education: Joyland Prime Academy in Kenya, a school running since 2008 that serves its community long after any individual trip ends.
Health: Microclinic projects across Kenya and Tanzania, expanding access to basic healthcare in the communities where we operate.
Economic development: Entrepreneurship training and creative economic programs for youth, so the next generation builds opportunity at home instead of leaving to find it elsewhere.
Mental health and creative community: Our Open Mic in Tanzania, a free safe space built around creative expression that's welcomed over 500 artists in two years, free to attend and free to perform.
This isn't a marketing line. It's how the company is structured.
We don't sell vacations. We open doors home.
Every AfroJetset journey is built around real cultural access, led by locals whose families have carried these traditions for generations, with group sizes capped small so you're never a face in a crowd. Every itinerary is one we'd take ourselves, alongside people who feel like family before the trip even starts.
And we reinvest 50% of our profits into social impact initiatives in the communities we travel to. Forever. That isn't a marketing line, it's how the company is structured.
Small Group Journeys
Travel with a small group of like-minded explorers and experience each destination in a more personal way. Our small group journeys create space for meaningful connections, local experiences, and shared moments without the feeling of crowded, traditional tourism.
From cultural encounters to unforgettable landscapes, every itinerary is thoughtfully designed to help you experience the destination from a deeper perspective.
Carnival & Festival Journeys
Step into the heart of the world’s most vibrant celebrations. Our Carnival & Festival Journeys take you beyond simply attending an event and place you inside the culture, music, food, traditions, and energy that make each celebration unique.
Experience iconic festivals across Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and beyond while enjoying a thoughtfully planned journey around the event.
Private & Custom Journeys
Your journey should feel like it was made for you. Our Private & Custom Journeys are designed around your interests, travel style, schedule, and vision.
Whether you want a private cultural experience, a celebration with family and friends, or a completely bespoke luxury adventure, we create a personalized itinerary that gives you the freedom to travel your way.
Group & Charter
Bring your people together and make the journey part of the experience. Our Group & Charter travel is ideal for families, organizations, celebrations, retreats, and private groups looking to explore together.
From transportation and accommodations to experiences and activities, every detail can be coordinated to create a seamless group journey built around your needs.
Luxury Travel
Luxury travel should be about more than beautiful hotels. It is about time, access, comfort, and experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
Our luxury journeys combine carefully selected accommodations, exceptional destinations, private experiences, and thoughtful service to create unforgettable travel without compromising the character and authenticity of the places you visit.
Celebration Journeys
Some moments deserve more than a party—they deserve a journey. Our Celebration Journeys are created for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, reunions, and other moments worth remembering.
We bring together extraordinary destinations, meaningful experiences, and personalized touches to create a celebration that feels completely unique to you and the people sharing it.

Everything You Need Before You Go
Cultural immersion, and deliberately off the beaten path. We want you to feel like you're visiting long lost family and to root yourself deeply while you travel with us. That's where the transformation happens. You don't watch the culture from a bus window. You're inside it.
For guests who want to extend their trip, we offer add-ons for $900 more. Confirm current extension details with our team and we'll set it up when you book.
Our journeys are custom depending on how you want to travel. You can join a group trip as a solo traveler, or we can plan the whole thing around you and your small group. Either way we cap at 15 people maximum, because the experience falls apart at scale.
Reserve your place with a deposit, then the balance is due 90 days before departure. Payment plans are available. Travel insurance is required to travel with us.
Straight into the communities we travel to. Not a one-time donation, a standing relationship, funded by every journey we run. Right now that means:
