Embark on a transformative ancestral journey to Ghana, a land of rich cultural heritage and deep historical significance for the African diaspora. In 2019, the 'Year of Return' initiative beckoned millions of descendants of West Africa to return to their ancestral homeland, commemorating 400 years since the transatlantic slave trade. This poignant call to return has reignited a sense of connection and belonging among African Americans and Black people worldwide, regardless of direct familial ties. Ghana's storied past as a hub of Pan-Africanism, embraced by legendary figures like Kwame Nkrumah, Malcolm X, Maya Angelou, and Muhammad Ali, has fostered a cultural renaissance, bridging the diaspora and the continent. As you experience Ghana, you'll be enveloped in warmth and hospitality, with the ubiquitous 'akwaaba' (welcome) and 'welcome back' embracing you at every turn. Join our 10-day Ghanaian Heritage Tour, tailored specifically for a diverse group of 30 Americans of African descent. Our carefully planned journey caters to all ages, from elderly travelers to families with young children and singles, ensuring an unforgettable experience for everyone.
