Refracting Africa curates small group community-based tours to several sites across Africa and the broader African diaspora.
Misafara (Caravans)
"Misafara," the Swahili word for caravans, is a journey that delves into the history of the East African coast, focusing on the colonial-era slave trade. This experience includes visits to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's bustling business capital; the historic town of Bagamoyo; the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kilwa Kisiwani; the pristine beaches of Zanzibar; and a thrilling wildlife safari in Nyerere National Park.
Baba Yangu (My Father)
This journey to the northern region of Tanzania is titled Baba Yangu—the Swahili phrase for “My Father.” This tour will visit the area where my father’s family is from. We will visit Mwanza, Ukerewe Island, and Arusha and go on a wildlife safari in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
