What You’ll Experience

Experience Ghana not just as a traveler, but as a returning descendant on this "return to the roots" pilgrimage. This 8-day journey is a comprehensive bridge between the past and the present, designed for those seeking deep local community connections alongside world-class history. You’ll sleep in hotels chosen for comfort and character, dine on delicious local dishes, enjoy nights out, and travel in an A/C enabled vehicle. You will trace the "Slave River" at Assin Manso for a private healing vigil, stand within the silent, somber walls of the Cape Coast Castle dungeons, and immerse yourself in the royal history of the Ashanti Kingdom in Kumasi. By balancing these moments of somber reflection with the vibrant energy of modern Ghanaian life in Accra and the sacred tradition of a community naming ceremony, this itinerary ensures your return to the Motherland is as profound as it is authentic. Notes: Our standard tour rate is $2,750 per person; a discounted volume rate of $2,500 per person is automatically applied for groups of four, and $2,300 is automatically applied for groups of five or more booking together. Children under 12 join the tour at no extra cost when sharing a room with an adult companion. Day 1 and day 8 itineraries may vary depending on flight timing.
