About this trip

The best gifts don’t break, don’t get old and cannot be lost.  A tour of Ghana, West Africa is one gift that will last for a lifetime for any age. An experience such as this tour will be ingrained in the participants memory and burn in their hearts forever. We will arrive in Accra and explore the inspiration behind the independence movement of the country lead by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. We will keep the exact details flexible to make room for holiday celebrations, the many music festivals and set nights, but you will experience the spirit of freedom that nudged the civil rights movement in the U.S. and called for the unification of the diaspora. We will also take two days to visit Cape Coast to complete a mini Sankofa Return experience. Then, we will hop back on the Detty December train till we bring in the new year!


Understand, this heavily discounted rate is temporary. It is for a limited time as the itinerary cannot be solidified until we are 10 months out. This offer will close at midnight on Feb 23.  


Please note prices reflect double occupancy; single upgrades are available.

This itinerary is subject to change.

This was a remarkable and fascinating trip. Everything from the professionalism of the staff, food, lodging, museums, shopping, and education was nothing short of excellent!

We had the most amazing trip. Sankofa US is awesome. From beginning to end, their entire team is attentive to your every need. In fact they treat you like royalty.
By Donecia N for World Vision & IGM Ghana Entry Visa by Sankofa US on Oct 04, 2024
Our journey to Ghana and Rwanda in partnership with Sankofa and WeTravel was a uniquely enriching experience. We dove deep into African History of the Gold Coast slave trade and the Rwandan Genocide. We met local people who are building new redemptive and caring communities. We stayed in very nice accommodations and our in country transportation was wonderful. More focus on the accomplishments of the African diaspora in spite of slavery would have been an encouraging redemptive note on which to end. Seeing the reconciliation village and meeting survivors and perpetrators and hearing their testimonies of forgiveness was priceless. Michael N. Allen

Our 8-day journey with Sankofa US was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we connected with LaNiece, we knew we were in for a treat. Her attention to detail and personalized service set the tone for an unforgettable adventure. Our tour guide, Samuel Kumah, and driver, Seth, were the epitome of professionalism and warmth. Their extensive knowledge of Ghana's history, culture, and hidden gems added depth to every experience. Whether it was recommending mouthwatering restaurants, exciting activities, or must-see sights, they always went above and beyond to ensure our trip was nothing short of spectacular. One of the highlights of our journey was undoubtedly the naming ceremony, a deeply moving and authentic celebration of Ghanaian culture. It's an experience we'll cherish for a lifetime. Sankofa US doesn't just offer tours; they create memories that last a lifetime. If you're considering a trip to Ghana, look no further than Sankofa US. Thank you, LaNiece, Samuel, and Seth, for an unforgettable adventure!
