This seasoned travel consultant’s itineraries pamper and prioritize Black women. In South Africa, travelers enjoy cuisine prepared by Nelson Mandela’s longtime chef. Imagine savoring some of the late president’s favorite recipes in Sanctuary Mandela, the well-appointed boutique hotel that was his private residence. It’s a chance to, as Rivers-Mitchell says, “live the ancestors’ wildest dreams”—as an honored guest in this country only three decades after apartheid.
