Its an energy uplifting journey that allows you to witness how Africans once lived as kings and queens in their homelands before they were stolen to the Cape Coast dungeons and carried away to the New World.

5.00What An Experience. Members Of The Diaspora Returning To The Motherland, This Is Experience To Do When In Ghana. Once out of the city you get to witness the glorious, tranquil and healing sight of Akosombo, and then your naming ceremony is spiritual and restorative. I'm addition, you get to also have lunch at a picturesque lakeside restaurant. Toufic was an exceptional, charming, knowledgeable and professional tour guide with a gift for connecting with people. I will be doing another experience upon my next trip to Ghana. Peace and Blessings

5.00I will treasure the entire experiences from the time Toufic collected me from my hotel, along the potholed roads, feeding the baboons along the road. The villagers were so welcoming. They let me have a go at making a clay pot which was great fun. Then there was my naming ceremony, I felt very moved and humble as I received my Ghanaian names. I felt a connection with the community. The entire trip is worth going on and can highly recommend it. Toufic is a true professional.
Touching experience

5.00This was an experience I would never forget. Our tour guide Toufic was very professional and we felt comfortable and safe in his presence. He was knowledgeable, courteous and nice! The naming ceremony truly touched my husband and I. We felt so inspired and so welcomed to the village. We loved the dancing and the explanation that was provided for our new names. This experience was unmatched to anything else we did. It’s priceless. The truth is we almost canceled this tour because it was so expensive. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST MONEY SPENT ON OUR TRIP! It worth the price! Tourfic even took us to a beautiful lunch on the lake! We will remember this forever.
