Nationwide — Dream Vacations proudly announces the launch of four distinct, all-inclusive tours created exclusively for the HBCU community, NPHC affiliates, and their families. The Juneteenth in Africa series offers a unique cultural journey and immersive experience in one of four destinations — Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, or South Africa.
Highlights of the Tours
• Egypt – June 17-25, 2026: Explore ancient history from Cairo’s Great Pyramids to a 3-night Nile River cruise through Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor.
• Kenya – June 17-26, 2026: Begin in Nairobi, then journey to the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve for game drives, the Big Five, and a cultural encounter by Lake Naivasha.
• Morocco – June 17-26, 2026: Visit imperial cities Fès and Marrakech, stroll ancient medinas and vibrant souks, and engage with Berber culture in the Ourika Valley.
• South Africa – June 17-27, 2026: Discover Johannesburg’s culture, embark on safari in Kruger National Park, explore Pretoria, and finish in Cape Town — a true “light to active” journey.
Each tour is crafted as a private group experience for the HBCU community and NPHC affiliates—with package options for solo travelers, groups, and families. A visit to the main tour page will provide you with pricing details, deposit schedules, and itineraries.
Why This Matters
By aligning the tours with the spirit of Juneteenth—celebrating freedom, heritage, and global connection—these journeys offer more than travel; they provide educational insight, cultural immersion, and community building. For the Divine Nine, HBCU alumni, students, and families, they present a meaningful way to engage with African heritage and world history.
