Ụzọ (noun): Derived from the Igbo language, spoken primarily in southeastern Nigeria. The word generally means "road," "way," or "path," though it is often used metaphorically."
Our definition of Ụzọ represents journeying through Africa as an act of self-discovery and reconnection with ancestral lands, using travel to unite Africans all over the world."
At Ụzọ we unite people of African, Caribbean & or mixed heritage with African or Caribbean roots from around the world for unforgettable African adventures. Founded by Vanessa, a London-born traveller of Nigerian (Igbo) and Beninese heritage, our company was inspired by her deep love for Africa's landscapes, people, and culture. With extensive travel experience across the continent, Vanessa aims to share Africa's beauty in a safe and intimate setting. We connect like-minded travellers to explore Africa off the beaten path, avoiding crowded tourist traps, and respectfully immerse in local culture, while collaborating with indigenous businesses at every opportunity.
