So you've finally decided to take a trip to the city that never sleeps, but between discovering the best Jollof spot in Lagos and...

Lagos, the city that never sleeps (because the traffic won't let you)! Are you ready to experience the energy, the culture, and the FOOD...

What if everything you believed about travel was a lie? What if… You didn’t have to earn rest? You didn’t have to be rich to go on vacation? You didn’t have to leave Africa to experience something extraordinary? That’s where TUVA begins.

Just because it doesn’t look like the postcards doesn’t mean it’s not African. Rooftops and railways. Vibe curators and city creators. Digital communities and soft life advocates. This is all part of the story now. The future of African travel isn’t far away. You’re standing in it. The only question is: Will you start seeing it?

You dream of Turkish rooftops, Santorini sunsets, the streets of Paris or Kigali. Your travel mood board is global, no doubt. But pause for a second: what about Nigeria? Before you plan the next stamp on your passport, here’s a gentle, genuine question: Have you even explored the world right beneath your feet?

We’re not trying to escape Africa. We’re trying to experience it differently. TUVA isn’t just about travel. It’s about translation — of culture, of chaos, of beauty, of truth. New blog just dropped and we said what needed to be said.

What even makes a place “African enough”? If it doesn’t have tribal prints or mud walls, is it still Africa? Cape Verde, Mauritius, Northern Morocco, Kigali — these places are often overlooked because they don’t fit the tourist-friendly “African aesthetic.” But here’s the truth: Africa is not a costume. It’s a continent.

Vacation isn’t just for the rich. It’s for us—the youth working multiple jobs, learning at night, hustling for the community. Africa’s travel is shifting from commodity to connection. Cultural travel, micro-adventures, creative side hustles—they all signal one thing: we deserve rest, discovery, and economic joy—on our own terms. So next time someone asks, “Is vacation even for Africans?”, just smile. Because we’re rewriting the story—one micro-trip, cultural visit, or remote

Love traveling? Hate it? Either way, TUVA’s about to change the way you see it. Travel isn’t just about passports and vacation flex. It’s about mindset, experience, and how you connect with the world — even from your room.

Africa's tourism landscape isn’t just healing from past setbacks—it’s evolving. Nigeria is securing multi-billion-dollar trade and infrastructure financing, industrial-scale sustainability and tech innovations are reshaping hospitality, and domestic travel continues to power millions

Africa’s tourism landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. As global hotel giants race to expand, local boutique lodging vies for attention, youth travelers redefine exploration, and rising costs threaten travel accessibility. But what’s propelling this transformation—and who stands to gain or lose? This feature explores how these trends intersect, shaping a new era for hospitality and travel across the continent.

Travel Understand Visualize Achieve TUVA is a mindset. It’s a lens through which we explore the world around us — not just to escape it, but to see it differently. It’s also a platform — made to spotlight African destinations, experiences, and voices that have been overlooked or boxed in for too long. We’re here to flip that script.

The world is becoming more interconnected, and nowhere is that more evident than in Africa. A continent often defined by its geographical and political boundaries, Africa is now moving towards a new paradigm in which borders are becoming more porous for travellers. But what does it mean for a tourist to visit an African country with fewer visa hurdles? And what role will the tourism and hospitality sectors play in this ongoing transformation?

The cult of busyness is burning us out—and it’s time for an antidote. In Africa, rest isn’t weakness—it’s a tradition built for resilience. From village rhythms to festival pauses, there’s power in slowing down. This summer, we’re trading endless grind for intentional balance—because working smarter doesn’t mean working nonstop. It means living fully.

The move toward burnout in Africa isn’t destiny—it’s a choice we can unlearn. Summer in Africa isn’t just about sunshine—it’s rooted in ritual and rest. From Ghana’s Adae Kese to village drum circles, our cultures teach that slowing down is sacred. This June, let’s reclaim our right to rest—not as a luxury, but as a revolution.
