I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me.

Currently your flight arrives at 7:00 am and if that remains the same the day will go as follows:
I will meet you at the airport and take you to a welcome brunch. Once we eat we will have an orientation to align our plans with your expectations. I will also arrange for the exchange of currency. Thereafter we will take a driving tour of Accra, scouting the more iconic spots like: Independence Square, Makola Market and Oxford Street. We will stop a few times to take advantage of photo-ops, but for the most part this is just to get your eyes accustomed to your new environment.
At 3 pm we will check into our hotel and retire for the evening.
Today will start with a visit to our founding Father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Mausoleum. This will help you to understand the pillars on which Ghana was established, thus the reason it is the destination of choice for African's in the Diaspora.
Next we will go to the Arts Center, an intense, football field size market, specializing in the most exquisite artifacts from the West African region. We will also visit the Artist Alliance (an art gallery) and a couple boutique shops.
After breakfast we head to Takoradi, a 5-hour journey to Ghana's best beach!
This destination will help us get our minds right, soaking in all that is Africa and preparing for our visit of the slave dungeon on the following day.
Today we're going through the doors of no return. This is a monumental expedition, even for those of us who have done it several times. It helps to quiet your mind and prepare for some guttural emotions.
White on white attire is suggested for today's activities.
Once we emerge from the dungeon we will go for our naming ceremony. A local King will conduct the ceremony, giving each African son and daughter their Ghanaian name.
Join the Ruff Ryders Association of Ghana and let's hit these back roads. Strictly off-road riding in the Aburi mountains, off the beaten path.
Afterwards, we visit the carver's market, a world renowned market for wood carvers and other artisans.
The museum experience is designed to guide visitors towards healing and restorative justice; healing from the legacies of African enslavement and colonialism.
On our way to the Museum we visit the Ancestral Wall, where we will have lunch. After visiting the museum we continue on to the Volta region. We should be checked into our hotel by 7 pm.
WLI WATERFALLS is a heavenly sanctuary nestled in a rainforest, in the heart of the Volta Region.
After breakfast we will take a leisurely stroll through the rainforest to get to our destination. After basking in its majesty we will return to our residence for a sleepy afternoon.
Later that evening, after dinner, we will rally around a bonfire.
Our journey will be climaxed by a climb to the top of Ghana's tallest mountain. It's a mere 45-60 minute trek each way, requiring more mental fitness than physical fitness. The earlier we start, the easier the trod.
The view from the top and the sense of accomplishment make the effort all worthwhile.
Today is your last chance to make sure you got all your t-shirts, dresses, jewelry, bags, art, wood craft, mudcloth, shea butter, black soap, etc. We're going to start at the carver's market and work our way down to Oxford Street in Osu, where many artisans feature their works.
Flight times dictate our departure time, but essentially we check out of the hotel and head to the airport.

I put together experiences that are meant to reconnect Africans born in the Diaspora with their ancestral homeland. Thus, I see my guests as long lost sons and daughters of our shared Mother Africa, not like tourists.
On our journey I will reconnect you to your land, your people, your food, your traditions and ultimately to your roots and culture. All-the-while, taking you to the most awe-inspiring sites in Ghana!
