WHY OUR KINFOLK LOVE BUOYANT

  • Ghana with Buoyant was a no-brainer. The website covered every single detail from visa and vaccine requirements to a packing list. If that’s not streamlined enough, Briona was always available to address any questions or concerns. Buoyant’s rapport with the local community provided my group with experiences you cannot find with a Google search. This was a meticulously curated trip that illuminated the beauty of Accra’s people, cuisine, and culture. Try the waakye, try the fresh fish, add the shito…just trust me. Ghana was the trip of a lifetime and if you’re lucky like me you’ll also return with the best souvenir of all- the friendships made along the way.

  • "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 and this was my first travel group experience. The activities were well thought out, from the food tour to Afro Punk to the historical tour of beautiful Salvador, I truly enjoyed myself."

    - Saidah B. (Signature trip)

  • [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!
