10 Black Travel Groups Every Jetsetter Should Know
10 Best Travel Agencies And Groups For Black Jetsetters
Traveling while Black comes with its own set of considerations: safety, cultural respect, and a desire to see the world in a way that acknowledges and celebrates Black identity and history. Fortunately, several travel agencies are not only Black-owned but also deeply committed to creating transformative experiences specifically for Black travelers. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls in Bali, exploring the roots of African heritage in Ghana, or vibing on a yacht in the Caribbean, these travel companies and devoted travel groups have got your back.
1. Travel Noire
One of the most recognized names in travel for the African diaspora is Travel Noire, a digital media site that helps Black travelers “discover, plan and experience” new destinations around the world, according to its website. From beautifully curated group trip offers and unthinkable deals to informative blogs and interviews detailing fascinating and culturally immersive experiences around the world, Travel Noire is perfect for any Black jetsetter who is looking for information about their next travel destination.
2. Up In The Air
Owned by five-time top travel specialist Claire Soares, Up In The Air is a boutique travel agency empowering Black folks to let their “guard down and travel with confidence amongst other like-minded Black people,” according to the company’s website. Soares has helped hundreds of Black people travel to some of the most breathtaking places in the world, such as Brazil, Tanzania, and Iceland, MadameNoire noted.
The agency also places luxury travel at the forefront, ensuring that Black adventurers receive top-quality and “bougie” treatment while they are away from home. For example, the Kenya + Uganda experience offered through the agency allows visitors to stay at the Olonana, a luxury lodge located smack dab in the middle of a safari camp, but you won’t find shabby tents on this campsite. The hotel comes packed with luxurious suites that include wrap-around balconies and giant half-moon-shaped tubs perfect for relaxing. Travelers can also head down to the dining hall and bar for amazing food and spirit tasting in between their safari experiences.
3. Black & Abroad
Black & Abroad is not just a travel company, but a lifestyle brand empowering Black travelers to explore the world boldly.

5. Greenbook Global
