If you’re following the Black travel movement on social media, it may seem that men aren’t jetsetting nearly as much as women – but that couldn’t be more wrong.

They are crisscrossing the global in full force, with tons of swag and are crushing stereotypes around the world just as much as women are. And no, they aren’t just going to beaches where they can find a medley of attractive options up for grabs, they are journeying deeper.

Black men are traveling home to Africa like never before and walking in the footsteps of those that came before them. From Morocco to South Africa, these men are exploring the continent like the kings that they are, and trust us, one look at these photos and you’ll agree that they wear their crowns very well. Proceed with caution.

Article continues after video.
