“Wonderful experience with a wonderful group! Briona was such a warm and welcoming host. This was my first travel group, and I was quite nervous, but I am so glad I took the risk. The activities were well thought out, from the food tour to AfroPunk to the historical tour of beautiful Salvador. I truly enjoyed myself."

[Buoyant] helped my group of 5 plan a trip for Detty December in Ghana 2024 and we had an amazing time! The host and driver whom [Buoyant] connected us with were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. I have already recommended some people to Buoyant Travel for their next adventures!

"I am so glad we connected on Threads, as the Nima Market tour and cooking class was a major highlight of our trip. Being able to explore the market with Chef Abiro was incredible. We learned about spices, medicinal treatments, and the history, culture, and politics of food in Ghana…”
