This is my 2nd Buoyant trip and it is definitely not my last. It was good mix of education about the culture/people of Salvador and nightlife fun. It sometimes can be hard to gather a group of strangers from different walks of life but when it’s a Buoyant trip it’s ALWAYS good vibes! shout out to Bri for being so down to earth, so welcoming, and helping folks across the diaspora connect with each other.

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 good tour to Afro Punk to the historical tour of beautiful Salvador, I truly enjoyed myself.

I really enjoyed my time in Salvador , Brazil. Briana picked a great location and curated an amazing trip. The food and people we experienced were top tier. The help to navigate through the airport was so helpful. And she built in just enough free time for us to explore, shop, etc. I’ll definitely be recommending travel to Salvador and traveling with Bouyant.

Salvador was my second Buoyant trip (the first one was Ghana), and it was yet another truly unforgettable experience! The communication and level of attention and detail from the team were top-tier. The activities were diverse (food, culture, nightlife, educational tours, etc.), and the group was so much fun! If you're wondering if you should book a trip with Buoyant to Salvador (or anywhere else really) this is your sign! ❤️

Ghana was my first international trip, and it did not disappoint! Everything was amazing. I got to experience great food, music, culture, and people. Briona did an awesome job planning the itinerary. It was jam-packed with activities, and there was never a dull moment. I highly recommend booking with Buoyant Travel! You definitely won’t regret it.

This trip was amazing! I am so happy I booked it. Ghana in December was a vibe! The Afro Future festival, excursions and nightlife were all so much fun. The hotel was beautiful and situated in lovely Osu, in the heart of Accra. Briona, our host was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you Buoyant Travel for an unforgettable experience!

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 an incredible time in Ghana with Buoyant Travel. This was my first time traveling with random girls that I don't know. We all got along so well that people thought we've been friends for years. i never felt left out or pressured to do any activities that i did want to do. the girls were supportive and encouraging.

I had an amazing time traveling to Ghana with Buoyant Travel. Each day brought a new experience (never a dull moment). This was my first trip to Africa and I wanted to not worry about planning a thing...traveling with Buoyant Travel did just that. All I had to do was bring myself! I met a wonderful group of women who love traveling and it was a pleasure getting to spend the new year with them. I highly recommend this travel group it was more than worth it <3

This is my second group trip with Buoyant (my first being Detty December in Ghana) and this trip to Brazil was so amazing, it exceeded any expectations I had! The itinerary was expertly curated along local tour guides to provide us with the best service, activities, events and schedule for everything. My favorite activities were the beach favela tour which set the vibe for a completely immersive experience in Brazil and the boat day on the last day which was a great way to close out this trip! I will always recommend traveling with Buoyant (or booking any of their other services) as it will be a guaranteed good time every time and like I always say: once a Buoyant Baddie, always a Buoyant Baddie 💅🏾

Top Three best group trips I’ve been on. It’s top 2. So let me preface this review by saying if you’re thinking about it; you should follow your first mind and do it. Briona curated an amazing, unforgettable, magical time. The entire trip was an experience with thee most fun memories. You meet people with the same goals while galavanting Ghana. To feel something you haven’t before. This trip did that. I’ll be back on her trip 2024 trip because it’s that much fun. I’ll be back because she’s an amazing host. I’ll be back because Buoyant Ghana Travel is making sure you’re safe and seeing all that there is!! I appreciate this special human. Thank you Briona for forever changing my life 🥺❤️ P.S. the FOOD yall! The FOOD. Whew a meal was ate and a time was giggled. Break bread with great Black people!

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

Thank you Buoyant Travel for hosting this trip, I had a fantastic time! I don’t really have any suggestions outside of having snacks for long tour days. I think you did an amazing job, even when things went left I still felt like I was on vacation. You handled every incident that happened outside of your control with such professionalism. I appreciated the planned activities, accommodations (the scenery of the hotel was beautiful), transportation, and meals. I loved how there was both fun activities as well as educational activities. It was pretty awesome knowing arrangements were made for the day and all I had to do was get on the bus.

I joined Bri and seven other Black women for Detty December in Ghana 2022 and it was one of the best trips I've ever been on! I have traveled widely mostly/usually solo, but I couldn't have imagined a better trip for my first group retreat. Bri planned absolutely everything and all I had to do was pay and show up. She had been to Ghana 3x previous to our group trip and is so knowledgeable, prepared, kind and caring for everyone in the group, so I had no doubts that we were in good hands with her (and Cycy who led all the daytime group tours). For someone who plans all their own travel it was really nice to change roles and not have to worry about much. I got to take in all the wonders of Ghana from the nature, food, people and parties and fell in love with the country. I had such a fun time that I'm already considering going back for December 2023! I highly recommend booking with Buoyant Travel for any future trips, it's a guaranteed good time.

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!
