Travel Noire

Travel Noire is a digital media company founded in 2013 by Zim Ugochukwu. It focuses on serving millennials of the African Diaspora, providing a platform for travelers to discover new destinations and share their experiences. The company was established to address the lack of representation in mainstream travel media for minority travelers, particularly those of African descent. Travel Noire offers a variety of services tailored to its audience, including interactive travel guides and tips, guided tours to destinations like Bali, Italy, and South Africa, and community forums for sharing travel stories and advice. The tours are designed for small groups and often include a professional photographer to document the journey. The platform engages over 2 million millennials monthly, creating a unique space for cultural exploration and travel content. In 2017, Travel Noire was acquired by Blavity, continuing to operate as a distinct brand within the Blavity network.
