This is my second trip with Melanin Globe and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Nicole is AMAZING - I was a late addition to this trip and she was very helpful in making sure that I had the correct details for flights as well as the dates and itineraries. She was very professional in making sure that we were always on time, but still managed to spend time with each person to make them feel comfortable, ( which meant a lot to me as a solo traveler celebrating her birthday…)
This trip truly made me feel like I was with family instead of being with 15 individuals that I just met. I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to booking another trip.

Just completed another phenomenal and unforgettable trip with Melanin Globe! Egypt was an awe-inspiring experience for me and My Man Stan! We were lucky to have Nicky as our tour coordinator again! Nicky did not fail to ensure everyone had the best possible experience every single day in Egypt. She has an energetic vibe and is an expert at capturing those special moment so that you have memories for a life time. She is experienced; you count on her to handle any challenges thoroughly with poise. We will go anywhere in the world with Nicky as our guide…ten stars for Nicky!


An overall great itinerary and experience…highly recommend traveling with Melanin Globe!

Such an amazing experience!!!

After a couple of past hiccups with travel agencies, I was honestly a little hesitant about using one again—especially for a trip across the world. But Melanin Global completely exceeded my expectations and did not disappoint in any way. The itinerary was full but not overwhelming, hotel and amenities awesome and took care of us from beginning to end, thanks Mira and team.

The true feather in their cap was our tour guide, Manuel, and our personal driver, Francis. They were the ultimate “need-to-know” people in Ghana. Their knowledge, connections, and intuition opened doors we never would’ve found on our own. They didn’t just show us Ghana—they helped us feel it. The people, the culture, the history, the rhythm of life—this was truly the experience of a lifetime.
Without them, we never would’ve experienced Ghana the way we did. I learned so much about how life was intended to be for our community, and I brought a piece of that wisdom home with me.
I cannot overstate how safe I felt the entire time. Even when we were given space to explore independently as a group, we always knew they were nearby and present. As a group of women travelers, I have never felt so genuinely taken care of, protected, and respected.

And let’s not forget—Manuel somehow doubled as our personal videographer and photographer. The quality was absolutely amazing and something I’ll treasure forever.
Before leaving the States, I experienced the most painful personal tragedies of my life and almost canceled the trip altogether. I am so grateful I didn’t. This journey gave me something I didn’t even know I needed. I came back home feeling deeply proud of where I come from—it truly felt like going home.

I will always be thankful for this experience and for the people who guided me through such an incredible, healing, and unforgettable journey. I made new family!

A couple of suggestions, for planning purposes, make sure tourist know how bumpy and long the ride is to Cape Coast. I would've loved to have some seat cushions, pillows and blankets on that day. It was still amazing and felt very authentic but just to make sure people are prepared..LOL

Until next time.
