Booked this trip feeling like it was going to change my life, and it definitely did! Not only did I leave with South Africa becoming my favorite country, but I left with memories and connections that have changed the trajectory of my life. I look forward to #SeeSomeWorld with the KLA team again soon!

From the moment I stepped off the plane in Cape Town, I knew I was about to experience something unforgettable. Over the course of two transformative weeks with KLA’s #seesomeworld travel collective, I explored the beauty, complexity, and soul of South Africa—and left with memories that will last a lifetime. Our journey began with a welcome dinner that set the tone for the experience ahead: joy, sisterhood, intention, and vibes straight out of Jet Magazine. Each day that followed was a masterclass in Black girl luxury, cultural, and radical rest. We walked through the townships of Langa and learned about apartheid’s origins and the Women’s Uprising. We shared drum circles and homemade lunches, soaked up sunsets and enjoyed breathtaking views from Table Mountain, and dined at Cape Town’s most scenic spots—from The Lawns to Gold Restaurant to Wilde Vy. The itinerary was perfectly curated. Spa day and sunset yacht party paired with wine tastings at Black-owned vineyard and deeply moving visit to Robben Island. And also moments of unexpected joy—like meeting a group of Black women from Brazil and instantly bonding across the diaspora. Every meal was its own adventure, every dinner a celebration. From 10-course meals at Nobu to the best salad I’ve ever had in my life, KLA made sure our plates were just as full as our hearts. But perhaps the most powerful part of this journey was the internal shift: seeing the truth of South Africa—not the version filtered through Western lenses. This trip dismantled myths, replaced media-fed narratives with lived truth, and left me feeling more connected to the global Black experience than ever before. If you’ve been waiting to take the leap—this is your sign. KLA doesn’t just plan trips; they create portals. You don’t just see the world. You come home changed. To Kate, Demetria, and the #seesomeworld crew—thank you for showing us what’s possible. My only complaint? You love bomb us, spoil us, and then release us! Already dreaming of the next adventure… #KLAgoesglobal #seesomecapetown #seesomeworld

This was my second journey with KLA, and once again, it delivered an experience that felt nothing short of effortless luxury. For busy women who are constantly juggling a million things, this trip is the ultimate gift to yourself. It’s the kind of getaway where you can simply “set it and forget it.” Once you book, all that’s left is to arrange your flight, show up at the airport, and let KLA take it from there. The moment you land, you’re greeted like royalty—your luggage is whisked away, your transportation awaits, and before you know it, you’re checked into a beautiful hotel without lifting a finger. Every event and excursion is planned to perfection, yet the schedule never feels rigid. Just be ready to head downstairs and the rest flows like magic. And if you happen to be running behind, their thoughtful team will gently check in to make sure you don’t miss a moment. The events they select are top-notch—vibrant, engaging, and often unforgettable. But what truly sets KLA apart is their ability to balance structure with freedom. Don’t feel like attending a planned outing? No problem. Want to explore something off the beaten path? Just ask, and they’ll work their magic. Even when the unexpected arises—like a weather shift or a last-minute closure—they seamlessly adjust the itinerary with grace, always presenting an equally wonderful alternative. The KLA staff is exceptional: attentive, warm, and endlessly resourceful. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a curated experience designed with your joy and ease in mind. I came home refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming about the next one.

This is my second KLA Goes to Ghana experience, and once again I was blown away by the care, kindness, intentionality, and unmatched levels of curated excellence that is the hallmark of the KLA experience. Davida, Mika and their team truly leave no stone unturned. This was more than a luxury vacation — this was a deeply soul-stirring moment with memories made during each part of the itinerary (and brilliantly captured thanks to the amazing media and content teams with us each day!) There is a nuanced and thoughtful approach the KLA team takes when carefully crafting and curating each part of the itinerary that you won’t find anywhere else. The KLA team truly makes this experience the very best of being “home”.

I travelled on the Juneteenth 2024 trip, and my expectations were far exceeded to say the least. So much detail and effort went into so many things and I felt welcomed, pampered and so taken care of. KLA curated such an amazing experience that I didn’t want to leave after the trip was over. The KLA staff were AMAZING, from the film team, to the everyday staff to the transportation team. I’m hoping they will add other locations as I would definitely participate on another trip. My only suggestion is regarding the add on safari. Adding more information about the safari would be helpful to future clients (i.e. clothes to pack, time of arrival, bringing snacks for that event, etc.) Also, the safari was great but I’d prefer to have done it first then do KLA part (which would also maybe impact how clients need to pack). In any event, it was a great experience and I’m itching to go back.

I have travel with Kate Lynn & Adwoa Lifestyle Brand this past year. This group is absolutely amazing and every bit of wonderful you can have for travel. Hosts are amazing and the staff are phenomenal. I can’t recommend this group enough for the experience my wife and I shared.
