For over a decade, Jelani Travel has been curating extraordinary travel experiences designed specifically for Black travelers ready to see the world—and themselves—differently. Rooted in a mission to help people of African descent reimagine Africa, we’ve led unforgettable journeys to more than 30 countries across six continents.
Our trips are often described as the ultimate vacation with a purpose, blending cultural immersion, luxury, and deep connection. Each curated itinerary invites you to explore Africa and the world beyond through four intentional pillars: self-care, service, culture, and adventure.
As a proudly woman-owned company, Jelani Travel works in partnership with our nonprofit, Jelani Gives, to empower the next generation. Together, we provide passports and life-changing educational and cultural experiences for HBCU students—because access to the world should never be a privilege, but a right.
