We have all heard the misconceptions about Africa over the years. The generalizations that Africa is not safe, does Africa have cities? Or is it just a safari land? The company Tastemakers Africa is here to debunk those misconceptions about Africa. Africa is indeed safe and does have thriving communities and cites.

Tastemakers Africa is a travel company that arranges travel experiences to cities across the continent. The company’s goal is to normalize travel to Africa and reveal the positive side of the continent that is not portrayed on a regular basis. Africa is full of vibrant city life, beaches and lively metropolitan areas. Yes, Africa does have beautiful safari and wildlife, but there is more to the continent than that.

The founder, Cheraé Robinson, states that the biggest misconceptions that people have about Africa are safety and poverty. She states society has taught us to think of certain places such as Paris as desirable destinations. Despite all the beautiful geographic features, Africa has never been seen in that same light. Africa has never been thought of as a vacation destination. That is the narrative Tastemakers Africa is trying to change. Africa has some of the most diverse and vibrant cultures. It is home to some of the most significant geographic artifacts. Yet it is never seen in this light.

In the digital age we have the power to change that narrative. We have the opportunities to travel to Africa and show those beautiful aspects of the continent that many are unaware of. I encourage everyone to visit Africa, it truly is a beautiful place. To find about more about TasteMakers Africa click the link below!
