I had a wonderful time. The energy was good with everybody, the food was very tasteful and accommodations was very comfortable. Thank you for the experience, I will always remember.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime. Elite curation/organization by Djapo Cultural Arts and the hosts. A full immersion of dance, culture, music, and community. This trip challenged me to embrace community and the sacrifice we have to make individually to come together; it is the labor of love. The cuisine prepared by the hosts were amazing and the activities chaperoned by the hosts were amazing; I felt extremely safe at all times(especially in the markets). The lodging was upscale and I would stay at those places on my own. Finally, this is a trip that everyone should go on and I look forward to going again in the near future to get a different experience.

This trip was extremely well organized, with a great combination of cultural activities. I felt safe and protected as well. The lodging was stellar. I also had opportunities to connect with residents and see their lives first hand.
Thanks for a wonderful time. I heartily recommend this trip.
