This was the trip of a lifetime. Everything was perfectly planned and executed. All I did was show up and everything was taken care of. Thanks Bri for such a wonderful time! Next time can't come soon enough!

This was my third trip with Buoyant Travel, and just like the others, it was unforgettable. The accommodation was top-notch, the communication was seamless from start to finish, and the attention to detail was next level. The Buoyant team even surprised me with a massage to celebrate both my birthday and being a 3x Buoyant alumna—how thoughtful is that?! That kind of care is rare with group trips. I got to try so many new things in Senegal, from food to unique activities, all curated by Buoyant. One of the things I appreciate most is their commitment to supporting Black-owned businesses throughout trips, and this experience was no exception. If you're wondering whether to book a trip, take this as your sign. Do it!

Hey Paula, Buoyant wouldn't be the same without you! Thank you for your continuous support, year after year; it doesn't go unnoticed. I'm so glad you joined us for this inaugural Senegal experience. As usual, you brought your infectious energy along from the journey, and it was such a good time. Can't wait to see you again real soon! Cheers, Briona

Salvador 2024 was my first Buoyant Travel experience and I am thoroughly impressed! Even before reaching Salvador de Bahia, BT was communicative, organized, and overall preparing me wonderfully for an incredible experience! From the carefully curated eats and drinks to activities to our lodging to our local guides and content creators and everything in-between, BT is the epitome of valuing creating precious memories — not just artificial aesthetics! My journey to Salvador was a bit troublesome due to the airlines that I booked with (NOT because of BT) but every step of the way even miles away, Briona ensured that I was looked after and still excited once I finally DID reach Salvador; she truly does care about her kinfolk — not their dollars. Her attentiveness and compassion really meant/mean a lot to me! I had a ball alongside incredible folk — none of whom I knew beforehand but am now looking forward to seeing around the world! I can’t wait to book with Buoyant Travel for another trip but now as an alumna ^.* BUOYANT BADDIEEE SIGNING OFF xoxo

This was my first time doing a group tour, and I'm glad I did it with Buoyant Travel. The group wasn't so big that I didn't get personalized attention, and it wasn't so small that I felt smothered. As someone who likes to have time to do my own thing, the trip was very flexible with how I spent my time and the activities I wanted to participate in. I really enjoyed the pace and diversity of activities that Buoyant and the guides curated. I wouldn't hesitate to book a trip again.

I had a great time on this trip and am looking forward to traveling with Buoyant again! Bri curated a great group of travelers, arranged beautiful and centrally located accommodations and special activities. The group day trips were well organized, with enough time to enjoy and not feel rushed going from one place to the next while still leaving plenty of time to explore on our own. Afrochella, the waterfall photo shoot, the tour of the city, and our visit to Cape Coast were my favorites. I appreciated Bri's communication throughout the trip, keeping us updated on schedules and changes, and checking in. Also, having a photographer, driver, tour guides, and local connections went a long way, especially while shopping and eating local foods. Everything, and I mean everything I tried, was delicious, from tilapia and banku to okra stew, light soup, waakye, fresh fruits, and bofrot – I enjoyed it all. At the beginning of the trip, I told the ladies I was looking forward to eating and dancing my way through Ghana, and I did just that! I couldn't have asked for a better *first* group trip with beautiful Black women from across the globe to experience the culture, company, and celebration that is December in Ghana. Thank you, Buoyant, for the experience!
