Itinerary
Day 1, We will land in Accra (Kotoka International Airport, Code: ACC), and we will head to our hotel (transportation provided). After a few hours of freshening up and relaxing, we will be lighting up the night at our first event-All White Welcome Dinner. Afterward, we will see what Accra’s nightlife has to offer. We don’t foresee anyone ever forgetting this night.
Day 2, The Naming Ceremony: This ceremony is near and dear to us and to many who experienced in the past. During this ceremony, you gain your native tribal name in accordance with Ghana traditions. It is a powerful moment because over the years we’ve lost many of our ancestral ways including our names. The naming ceremony connects us back to the continent and that community and tribe forever.
Day 3 we will start our journey by visiting the Slave River where Ghana citizens were forced to take their last bath on the way to the slave castles. After honoring their memory, we go back in time in one of Ghana’s historic town which houses the oldest European building in Sub-Saharan Africa (Elmina castle) 537 years old and learn about the colonial exploitation of the magnificent Gold Coast.
