“Jelani Travel did a fantastic job planning and executing this trip for my 50th. The trip was customized and fit what I was looking for. They were able to add the small details and personal touches that made it special and memorable. Thank you so much. I will be coming along on a group trip soon! I highly recommend their service. It lived up to expectations.”
“I had a great time. Wonderful people, delicious food and comfortable accommodations. Thank you for this fantastic experience!”
“Senegal & The Gambia was my third Jelani Travel experience, and it did not disappoint. The entire trip was a cultural immersion, and fulfilled my greatest desires on every level. From the pre-trip welcome packages we received to our arrival into the country being coordinated with pickups and transportation to every excursion on the itinerary, every detail was well planned out and led to an amazing time. The trip was a great time, the women I met on the trip were dope, and overall the vibe was restorative, enriching and fulfilling. ”
“Enriching and amazing. This trip is actually best defined as a cultural journey filled with history, culture, education, experience, life, art, science, fun and sisterhood. Jelani Travel left nothing to be desired with planning a full cultural enriching and amazing lifetime experience.”
