Ghana on My Mind
We have had several amazing trips to Africa. But the trip to Ghana is different, it feels like “home”.
As soon as you walk out of the airport in Accra you truly feel like you have stepped foot on the Motherland.
Ghana embraces you with the warmth that only a mother can provide.
Welcome to Ghana, welcome home!
Ask anyone that has traveled with us to Ghana and I’m confident that each of them will say that this cultural tour was life-changing.
Each day brings a new unforgettable experience.
Below are just a few of the highlights.
Experience Ghana with us.
VISIT INFAMOUS SLAVE CASTLES
Tour the infamous Forts, Castles and Slave Dungeons of Ghana. These castles were the final transit points for enslaved Africans before being shipped off to the new world. You will have the opportunity to visit the slave dungeons as well as the final resting place for two ancestors whose mortal remains were returned from the USA and Jamaica and re-interred in Ghana.
ATTEND A NAMING CEREMONY
You will have the opportunity to pay a courtesy call on the paramount chief and elders amidst traditional drumming and dancing by the villagers and also participate in a naming ceremony, where you will be given a traditional African name.
ATTEND THE AKWASIDAE FESTIVAL IN THE ASHANTI KINGDOM
You will have the privilege to witness the Akwasidae Festival in the Ashanti Kingdom. Akwasidae rituals and events are held in Ghana by the Akans every six weeks, honoring the ancestors and the Ashanti king. Akwasidae, according to the Ashanti cultural archive records is an ornate ceremony, commemorating the date that the Ashanti Golden Stool was magically brought down from heaven. A visit to Kumasi during an Akwasidae celebration is an invitation for spectacle.
