About your trip

‼️ Please Note: All packages (Double Occupancy or Single Occupancy) are priced per person. 


Some trips check boxes.

This one changes your rhythm.


Get Free: South Africa is a 10-day soft-living and relocation exploration for the Black traveler ready to rest, reconnect, and reimagine life across borders.


You’ll begin in Johannesburg—we’ve curated every detail of this high-touch, high-end trip with care: slow mornings, experiences with local famous artisans, deep heritage tours, curated scouting excursions, and high-style moments of Black Excellence.


Then we take flight—literally—to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. (And yes, you read that right. We are flying into a whole 'nother African country -Zimbabwe. ) You’ll cruise the Zambezi at sunset, walk the edge of one of the world’s great wonders, and reflect on what’s next—from a place of rest. 


This isn’t a vacation.
It’s a lifestyle reset.
A freedom-filled immersion.
A journey into the life you’ve been craving.

How is GET FREE different from our DEEP IN experiences?
This isn’t about skipping the depth—it’s about pairing it with stillness, softness, and the space to imagine a different life. You’ll still feel the cultural richness of Deep In, but every detail here is designed to help you reimagine freedom—on your own terms.

-Think everything you love about Deep In, with less people and more time to rest, reflect, and receive.
-Think curated lifestyle experiences that help you imagine living well across the diaspora.
-Think meaningful connection, cultural immersion, and elevated adventure—with space to just be.


‼️ Please Note: All packages (Double Occupancy or Single Occupancy) are priced per person.
