Learning your ethnic group and country of ancestry is just the beginning. Now, it's time to go home!
Immerse Yourself In The Culture
Whether you want to travel to the country of your specific ancestry or you want to go home with a company you trust, we welcome you to take a beautiful journey with us! Launched in 2019, African Ancestry Family Reunions (AAFRs) are specifically curated, all-inclusive, birthright journeys to the various countries of ancestral origin we find in our family members. Now that you have uncovered your genetic ancestry, reconnecting to your family's roots and honoring your ancestors on their original soil is the next step in this sacred journey.
New in 2025! Africa is everywere so AAFRs have expanded into the African Diaspora. Now you can join us to explore the African influences in South America too. Trips to Colombia (Cartegeña and Medellín) and Brazil (Salvador de Bahia) have just been added to our travel schedule. Scroll below to find the perfect trip for you!
Our Trips
"As an adoptee, it was important that I find my identity.
Discovering that I am of the Mafa people of the Extreme North of Cameroon; then visiting and placing my feet on the soil of my ancestor grandmother’s homeland, fills me with pride and makes me feel more connected to myself."
Wendi Cherry, Masa, Mafa and Kotoko people of Cameroon
"My experience traveling to the land of my Ancestors has been a life-changing experience but knowing that my paternal ancestors came from among the Temne people of Sierra Leone gave me a location and a people that I can return to, that alone gave me a personal experience that made me feel like I never left."
Foday Conteh Kunda, Temne people of Sierra Leone
"For me visiting Africa was purposeful reclamation;
there I was welcomed to reclaim an extremely important part of who I am–Balanta, those who resist!"
Eddie Meeks, Balanta people of Guinea-Bissau
