A trip for travellers in love with timeless West Africa, variety of landscapes and tribes, local markets rich in colours, spices, and smells, frenetic yet delicate rhythms, rituals and dances.
Who are interested in the uniqueness of the Ashanti traditional ceremonies.
We visit the castles which served the slave trade.
We satisfy our hidden curiosity about witchcraft: we will visit a village entirely inhabited by witches!
Special events: a royal festival in Ashanti kingdom and an intriguing voodoo ceremony.
In the north we will walk in one of few National Parks in West Africa, which deserves a visit. Mole Park.
A tour mixing people and nature; history and present. With an eye to Africa building its future: Accra, one of the most vibrant cities in Africa.
The Akwasidae Festival marks a grand event for the Asante (Ashanti) people at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, the royal home of the Asante King. The vibrant occasion includes celebrations, pledges of allegiance, food offerings and is deeply rooted in ancestral tradition. It happens about every 6 weeks.
