About this trip
A tour of Ghana, West Africa is one gift that will last for a lifetime for any age. This tour will be ingrained in the participants memory forever. Travelers will head out the day after Christmas for an overnight flight and arrive in Accra the next day. With the spirit of celebration in the air, our guest will 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 a return experience 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!
