Elevated travel experiences for queer people of color.

Cabo San Lucas

July 3rd - 7th, 2025

Pack your bags and get ready to soak up all the joy, flavor, and sun-soaked luxury Cabo has to offer. This 5-day experience is more than a vacation—it’s an unapologetic celebration of rest, adventure, and Black queer community.

Spend your days learning to cook authentic Afro-Mexican dishes in a hands-on class and choosing your own adventure: ziplining, off-roading through the desert, or horseback riding along the beach with a tequila tasting finale. Your nights will be spent vibing on a sunset cruise with an open bar, dining with new friends, and leaning into the laughter surrounded by your people.

Cabo is calling—and this is your invitation to answer! 🌅🍹👙

The Summer Glamp

July 24th - 27th, 2025

Unplug, unwind, and reconnect at an adult glamping retreat at River Mountain Resort nestled in the Allegheny Mountains, designed exclusively for Black queer folks. For four days, immerse yourself in nature's beauty while enjoying modern comforts in cozy glamping yurts and cabin pods.

Start your mornings with guided hikes, then engage in empowering workshops led by Black queer facilitators. Afternoons offer creative sessions like art therapy, while evenings are reserved for soulful dinners and glow-in-the-dark dance parties.

This is more than a trip, it's a space to celebrate and build lasting bonds within our community.

South Africa

December 29th, 2025 - January 5th, 2026

Embark on a transformative journey from exploring Johannesburg's vibrant history to relaxing on Manguzi's serene beaches and witnessing the majestic wildlife of Hluhluwe.

Begin in Johannesburg with visits to the Apartheid Museum and a welcome dinner at a historic home once occupied by Nelson Mandela. Then, transition to Manguzi for eco-conscious lodging, community engagement, and coastal relaxation. Conclude your adventure with a luxury safari in Hluhluwe, where you'll have the chance to see the Big Five in their natural habitat.

This experience is thoughtfully curated for Black queer travelers seeking exploration and rejuvenation. With recently reduced pricing, now is the perfect time to join us!

Community Impressions

  • First and foremost, Lesbifriends has created space for profound healing in our lives, and Lisa, we are forever grateful for the curated travel experience and the incredible people you brought together. You are truly creating sacred spaces. Thank you for following your path in life. By doing so, you helped us connect deeper than we ever could have imagined. From the welcome swag bags (lip balm, socks, Lesbifriends t-shirt, mini-journal!), to the thoughtful rooming assignments, to the interactive activities, everything was carefully thought of and beautifully presented.

  • "As a "late in life lesbian," trying to build community, I've been attending events with various groups. I heard great things about Lesbifriends. The Slippery While Wet Pool Party was my first event and it was a vibe! The energy was just good all around. I felt like a regular! I loved how organized things were, yet it felt super laid back and fun. Huge bonus points for having a fun non-alcohol drink option, something that is often overlooked. I appreciated Lisa taking the time to come over and chat with me as a newbie. I'm looking forward to my first trip with the group as well. I can tell I will be in good hands!"

    Danielle H.

  • "I have attended to several events and trips with LesbiFriends Travel. Always great vibes, well organized and welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoy the creative icebreakers and games we do to help everyone get to know each other. LesbiFriends Travel is a great way to meet new friends. Lisa is a creating cultural queer community of talented, beautiful and intelligent women. I look forward to more events and trips in the future as LesbiFriends Travel takes the fun abroad. "

  • Lesbifriends Travel is more than a trip, it's an experience! The community was welcoming and you made sure everyone was having fun. The daily check-ins and WhatsApp polls made the trip feel customized, and catered directly for how the group was feeling in the moment. Even when we had to cancel an excursion due to the weather, you had plan B, C, and D ready. Thank you for all that you do, we are a walking testimonial to the power of Lesbifriends connections!

    M.B. + R.R.

  • "Lisa's exceptional planning skills shone throughout the trip, ensuring a seamless experience that tantalized our adventurous spirits while providing the comfort we didn't know we needed. The only thing we craved? More time. Time to soak in the beauty, to revel in the tranquility, and to continue writing our collective narrative."

    Dani O.

  • "Beautiful destination, lots of culture and history shared, delicious foods eaten, and fun travel mates. I would do it again."

    Kelli K.

  • "I love traveling with Lesbifriends Travel. I always have a great time. I recommend LFT whether you traveling alone, with friends, or as a couple you will always have a great time. The lodging Lisa picks provides enough space to relax, party, and find quiet time. The scheduled activities are always planned well. The theme nights create a sense of community. I recommend Lesbifriends Travel make new friends and enjoy a great time."

    Nae R.

  • "My trip to South Africa with Lesbifriends was nothing short of life-changing. It was more than just a vacation—it was a moment of personal growth, celebration, and the kind of support I never knew I needed. Lesbifriends has an incredible ability to bring together individuals who, while initially unfamiliar with each other, quickly become a supportive family. Throughout my trip, I was continually surrounded by people who uplifted me, encouraged me, and celebrated my accomplishments as if they were their own. It was like being wrapped in a warm blanket of support at every turn, which was exactly what I needed during such a pivotal moment in my life."

    Dr. Udim I.

  • "The weekend retreat was an enjoyable experience, with a scenic drive through the mountains. the house itself was spacious, beautiful, and easy to navigate, with plenty of bathrooms and inviting outdoor spaces. The layout was fantastic! The food was delicious. Cha Cha did an excellent job with the food."

    Jousett S.

  • "The experience was amazing. Lesibfriends Travel took care of all my travel needs and then some. I highly recommend using Lesibfriends Travel if you are looking for a travel experience that brings together community, gives you new cultural experiences, and provides you with an opportunity to unwind on vacation."

  • "I had an amazing time! Both hotels were awesome, and I really enjoyed getting to experience the different vibes of both cities. Food was so delicious, esp the traditional food we made during the cooking class! Lisa is a wonderful trip host and her attention to detail is levels above my expectations. She also picked out the best excursions for us to do! 10/10 would def recommend and I'm already looking forward to my next group trip with lesbifriends!"

    Yvette B.

  • "South Africa has been at the top of my travel list for some time, and fortunately, Lesbifriends Travel came along with the amazing offer for a group trip full of Black queer folks...I had to hop on it! I am proud to say it was one of my best decisions because it was better than even I could imagine! I was able to get that experience of culture, cuisine, and all around fun while being surrounded by community of folks who I can be safe and my authentic black queer self with. I will definitely be joining other trips and experiences offered by this group!"

    Kashmir R.

  • "I enjoyed myself on this trip. I had the best time that I have had in years. Lisa and the team were very accommodating to my needs. I made some possible positive lifetime connections. I plan to attend more events in the future. Thank you, Lesbifriends Travel, for introducing me to life again!"

    Shavon S.

  • "Not to be cheesy or anything but I just wanted to take a moment to say that one of the things I am most thankful for this year is finding Lesbifriends Travel! You have a wonderful vision and I am grateful for the camaraderie."

    Kim M.

  • "Thank you, Lisa, for being you. You opened your vacation to me, chatted with me, and made sure I felt good/safe. It's very seldom to encounter someone like you. Your warmth and kindness is something I think about often and I hope you receive your flowers as much as you deserve to.""

    Sallie J.

  • This was my first trip with Lesbifriends, and ironically, the destination came to me by chance. But it was precisely what I needed during this season! I usually travel solo or with familiar companions, but I decided to take a chance on group travel without knowing anyone. Oh my gosh! I’m so glad I did! Nicaragua is absolutely breathtaking, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the intentional activities we engaged in. Journaling, yoga, cacao ceremonies, massages, and more—I would definitely return to this destination again! Now, for the best part! Our group was incredible, and it felt so liberating to be myself around complete strangers without judgment. A special shoutout to my housemates!
