Solange Knowles has been bitten by a travel bug and has made another trip to overseas. The 25-year-old singer and her partner-in-crime/son, Julez, caught a flight to the central-eastern parts of Africa and visited the Rwanda’s capital & largest city, Kigali.
The singer posted some pictures on her Tumblr page and captured her experience with the people of the city in some beautiful photos. Check out some more of her pics down below.

love when black folks show love/respect for the motherland!
SHE LOOK’S LIKE ,SHE’S LOOKING FOR A MAN ON HER BIKE , WHAT IS SHE REALY DOING OVER IN AFRICA , IS SHE BUILDING A SCHOOL , IS SHE BUILDING A VILLAGE , IS SHE BUILDING NEW HOME’S …WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING !!!!
AND WOW !! SHE’S IN PHOTO’S WITH HER SON , WHAT A (SUPRISE) IS SHE NOW TRYING TO BE A MOTHER . THESE TWO SISTER’S ARE SO FAKE AND FULL OF BULL .
@WAKE UP: why are you mad?? Is it because she went to Africa to learn about the people and you can’t?? I can’t stand ignorant black Americans!!! No wonder real African people who have sense don’t acknowledge your stink ass!! Good thing I’m Ghanaian because the ignorance in you sickens me!! You disgust me, because of you, black people never prosper, always hating on black people. POOF BE GONE AND KICK ROCKS!!! YUCK!!!
@Jessica what you shouldn’t do is classify one black person who has their own opinion with every black person. Secondly the last thing you can do is talk about black americans when all that crazy ungodly sh*t is going on in Africa. You’re the first one’s running behind whites and bleaching you’re damn skin to be something that you will never be. Oh I’m sorry wasn’t it Africans selling their own people into slavery? Don’t start that American Sh*t on this blog. Take your ass home if you have a problem with black people. I don’t claim anything but being black all day everyday and I’m proud of it. Oh and come get your people off the streets of New York selling all these damn fake handbags.
What is with Wake Up’s unnecessary use of apostrophes? Did he/she learn nothing in grammar school? Other than that, I agree with you. I love to see our people visit Africa. Not all of us are so fortunate.
I fully agree with ms michelle. I don’t agree with wake up, but I’m not made because that’s wake ups opinion. Jessica you should go kick rocks, oviousely you are to into listening to his-tory than really researching the turth about all of our history. Africans sold their own, not realizing what would happen, but still sold their people.but like michelle I know the deal U make me sick, I can’t stand non-knowledgeable people whom try to belittle others.
Anyhway , love the pics, and when I have it I will deff make a plan to travel to africa at least one time in my life.
Wake Up sounds like a sad bitch. Can we lock these tricks up so we can filter these blog comments of their bitter foolery. I mean really? YOU KNOW BEYONCE AND SOLANGE? This bitch….
I ALWAYS SEE SOLANGE WITH HER SON
@Jessica, I would think you would know you are on the WRONG blog to be hating on black Americans. You probably live in America, yet ironically, you are on your high horse hating on the black people in the country. Feel better? As if black Americans need you or any other person from Africa to acknowledge us in order to feel legitimized. I’m black, and the fact is, my ancestry is from Africa, regardless of your “blessing,” like it or not. I never claim to be from Africa or African, nor do I claim to have a wide knowledge of African cultures, but your lack of “claiming” me in the “African family” doesn’t change my life one bit. And anyway, as far as popular culture goes, who do you think young black people all over the world (including in Africa) take an interest in and try to emulate–oh, that’s right, black AMERICAN celebrities. That’s why you are on this blog. Get over yourself.
The pictures are beautiful
There is just something amazing about SOLO! I think she is an awesome female. And her little boy is going to be a heartbreaker! TOO CUTE. *pinches cheeks*
yes, agree 100%
agree!awwww
I FUX WIT SOLANGE SHE IS SO DOPE! MUCH PROPS
I want to be her travel buddy
she is giving you 1960′s werrrrk I luv it !!!!!
Oh lawd…
Im glad to see Beyoncé’s money is spent well on travels! Travelling the world can be life changing, a treasure not a lot of people can get. I wish I could travel as often and everywhere. Her child gonna have great knowledge very young.
Solange makes her own money. Come correct sweety. If you only knew she writes / co-writes some of Beyonce tracks. take a seat……… over there ——>
LOL MIA @ “over there ” !!!!
WHO CARE’S SOLONGE AND HER FAMILY NEED’S TO GIVE BACK MORE , NOT JUST TAKE PHOTO’S AROUND THE WORLD , AND LOOK FOR WAY’S TO COPY PPL LIVE’S .
ignorant black folks always gotta show their ass. there really was no point in all of that “MIA”. as you hoodrats says (but don’t practice) “It’s NOT that surious”
And so what if she uses her sister money if HER sister gives it to her? Come on man! Blacks are the first to talk about loving family and each other; but the first to talk sh*t when people actually do it.
What would Beyonce even do with all that money she has except to share it with family, friends, and those in need?
Get real black people! We are our own worst enemies and nightmares.
If I had Beyonce’s money, I would hook most of my people up. Ask them to establish something that will benefit the community and themselves. Go on vacation when they want, and enjoy life.
I think the photos are beautiful. Very educational as well. They will experience life outside their celebrity bubble life here in America.
The photos are very classy and meaningful.
*yawn* NAT…. u see that seat beside home girl… You take the further one to the exit… you ghetto trick.
@WAKE UP, you really need to wake up.there is no written law that those who earn more money should give more.you give what you can.even God does not discriminate.rich or poor He still appreciates what you give to the others.what have you given to those around you?it doesn’t have to be Africa.we aint a dying race you know.some of us might be ignorant but there are some of us educated enough so stop hating on people.let solange and bee live their lives as they want.
HELP does anybody know what she uses to edit her pictures please? they always look retro it’s interesting
she may be using a lomo….but most likely she’s using an instagram type app. i’m truly unimpressed. it sort of looks like she just flew their to take some pictures. sort of lame if you think about it…considering all that kigali has gone through. it’s not meant to be a backdrop for your self-indulged vacay photo shoot.

@NAT – The NERVE of you to tell MIA to practice what she preaches when YOU NEED TO DO THE SAME!!! Go kick rocks in Compton since you’re not travelling anywhere but criticizing someone who is. YOU’RE the one who’s UNIMPRESSIVE!!!
@ STFU….it’s obvious that you hear that alot. now heed the advice.
NAT is just another jealous self hating sista who sits at home and writes negative shit cause she aint getting no love in the real world. YEs… I went there.
@NAT – what’s obvious is that you’re on a treadmill running in place wishing you were somebody. yeah I know the name stung you *POW*
The exposure on these pics are breathtaking
Calm down people, its just some vacation pictures. Where are all the derogatory comments coming from??!!
Sheesh….hate much?
I agree!
I agree. Its like people hate on good and bad. What did she do.. nothing but share her pics. Dang.
EXACTLY!!!!! CUZ PEOPLE SOUND BITTER THAT THEY ARE STUCK IN A RUT AND DONT HAVE THE BLESSINGS TO TRAVEL LIKE SHE DOES!! SMH THE NEGATIVITY I SEE ON THIS SITE IS JUST DISTURBING SOMETIMES AND ITS ON THE SIMPLEST OF THINGS LIKE THIS POST! WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT THAT THE FACT OF ANOTHER CELEB TRAVELING OUT OF THE COUNTRY WOULD GET PEOPLE SO WOUND UP AND BENT OUT OF SHAPE! (rolling my eyes) ANY WAYS!!!!!!……………………………………………………………….ONE DAY I HOPE I AM BLESSED ENOUGH TO TRAVEL BEYOND THE U.S. TO BECOME A MORE CULTURED PERSON
nostalgia, homesickness
missing my family and country right now (Ghana)
she is such a natural…i hope i find a work which would carry me and my family round the continent one day. love to see different people and their cultures, to appreciate God the more! He is indeed Great!
Aaaaaawwwwwww! I’v been to Ghana. Stayed in Accra a few days (since we flew into Accra), visited Akosombo, took a long drive (there and back) to Mole, stayed in Cape Coast for the majority of the time. I really enjoyed my time there.
@Dean: Good for you!!! I need to go to Ghana again, it’s been ages!! lol!!! I haven’t seen my cousins in years. @NAANA: What part of Ghana your from?? I’m from Kumasi.
YES
That’s nice…*golf claps*
Solo clearly traveled back to the motherland for a photo opportunity. These photos are headed str8 for her portfolio. She and her sister are both opportunist and they can both kick rocks. Girl bye
clearly…
word. she’s using this country and its people as a prop for her “image.” shame on a bish.
I AM SO OVER THIS ENTIRE FAMILY
Sit down
YES I AGREE WITH SIGH …. THEY WANT EVERY PART OF THEIR LIFE PUBLIC THEN PLAY THE “PRIVACY GAME” THEY WOULD ALL DIE IF THEY WERE NOT RELEVANT
Nice.
These pictures look vintage. I love it!! Solange is definitely a style icon. I perfer Solange than her over rated sister.
You know I find it so funny how they used call this child Daniel and then all of sudden he’s Julez! *Rolls eyes*
Solange is cool now, but she was trying her hardest to be another Beyonce for awhile and just like her childhood, she got no love!!
Oh girl who cares about your photos. Like you just happen to be in the shanty-town on a carefree bike ride. I hope she handed out some money to those in the village that she used for her photoshoot. She and her sister both can take perminent seats ___/
Right. Im sure the limo or delux coach was parked off to the side for her to hop back into. Boo at these staged pix. And I like how CL tried to describe it as some casual traveling pix. Boo
lol
mess. I can’t with y’all LOL
These are not casual photos of her in the hood bike riding. Chile bye
THESE PHOTO’S LOOK’S LIKE PLAIN OLD PHOTO’S, SOME OF THESE SOLO FAN’S, ARE SO FUNNY AND FAKE . SHE TOOK PHOTO’S OF POOR HELPLESS CHILDREN , SOLONGE IS SUCH A PIN HEAD .
Some of you are absolutely ridiculous..
So Solange travelled ALL the way to Africa to take photos? You mean to tell me whenever you go on vacation you don’t take any photos at all? You’re all activists who don’t have time for photos right?
It’s not like she publicized her trip like Kim Kardashian did when she went to Haiti – now that was more of a photo op.
These pics are beautiful, and some of you are sad people…
I luv solange, nice pics, her son is cute
I just figured out who else Julez reminds me of; in addition to his dad, grandmother Tina, and Auntie Bey.
He resembles Raven-Symone!!
Solange know she stay on vacation. I hope it’s actually from doing somethin.
She can’t win. A handful of photos don’t necessary say she didn’t do any charity work while there. Had she posted pics in an orphange or something, there are those who would criticize her for exploiting the needy. You guys take everything too far.
BTW, what’s with the African versus African American comments? Last I checked y’all the same people.
Nice pics I love the one of the two little kids they look so happy
How does anyone know what she did while she was there?? And why are people so fast to criticize what celebrities do how much do you do for your community??
Ahhh Can we focus on the pics instead of being so extra with the negativwe comments! Look how happy the little Rwanda kids look, The little girl in the red skirt is soo beautiful. Look at the little girls eyes and look at little mans smile. If with all the issues Im sure their facing, thats home for them and their HAPPY!
negative* Even with*
Solo is just plain wack and what does she do again? And her sister’s sound/style/image is officially played out. All that standing in front of fans with the weave blowing in the wind doing the “single ladies” and the corny “Count Down” routine, is OVER. Its a new day and REAL music will return. Both need to stay home, be mothers and raise their babies. THE REVELUTION WILL BE TELEVISED
iSimply love them!
He’s gonna be so well rounded…
These photos are beautiful and kind of timeless. I cant tell if the setting is 1950 or 2012. Although I’m glad its the present date LOL. I think these are the best pics I’ve seen thus far. Luvs it! Beautiful…simply beautiful.
