Focussing on the temporary journeys of transnational migrants in South Africa to their home countries on the continent, this paper explores the motivations, subjective experiences and perceived significance of these home visits for the migrants' sense of identity and belonging. Based on a qualitative interpretive research approach, the study finds that memories and comparisons invariably underpin the experience of the home country, the encounter with the home and engagement with social relations. This induces new insights and sometimes 'small epiphanies' (Pearce, 2012), which can lead to self-reflection, selftransformative experiences and shifts in consciousness, affecting the migrant's sense of belonging.
