Experience Salvador, The Blackest City Outside of Africa 

November 7 - 13, 2024

Salvador is the Blackest city outside of Africa—that’s one reason to love it. 

This trip is perfect for anyone rooting for everybody Black and interested in learning about and connecting with the global African diaspora. 

We’ll visit Black-owned shops, learn about Salvador’s history, dance in the streets, experience local food and nightlife, and attend a music festival from this coastal, unapologetically Black city. 

🙌🏾 Connect with Afro-Brazilian Culture

💃🏽 Dance at AfroPunk Bahia

✊🏿 Explore with like-minded Black folks 

This trip is designed for Black professionals and creatives. Our travelers are primarily 25-38. You must be 21+ to join us. 

Buoyant was created with Black travel, economics, and joy in mind. We host group trips and meet-ups, create bespoke itineraries, and run a members-only club. We exist to help connect our people with cool across the diaspora. So whether you’re in Atlanta or Accra, we’ll connect you with the coolest places, people, and Black-owned businesses.
