    The naming ceremony was sad. They don't prep you for what you are about to encounter. The people of the village are in need. Bring toys for children & money for adults or you will feel bad if you run out or dont have any. TRUST ME. Over priced. We got a broken down car & driver who had multiple accidents going & coming. Thankfully, we made it back safely. Driver was anti-social & did not add to experience by describing our views. He later took us to a resort & said, "stopping for lunch & boat ride". I assumed lunch was included. The boat ride was decent & driver played music. Lunch was less than tasty & order was wrong. When ready to pay for lunch, machine was broken & was told to use ATM. There are so many places in ACCRA w/good food & better set up for less. P.S. A driver or UBER to village is less & you can get your African name from any citizen of Ghana. It is the same names based on day of week born. When you don't know. Lol

  • There is a meaning to our names.

    Amazing and unique experience to the Volta region. The naming ceremony was so beautiful and welcoming with many villagers in attendance. I loved the explanation of the ritual and so happy to have an African name now. The boat river cruise after was very nice and peaceful. I’d love to stay at the resort that this was held. Great tour and great tour guides!

    The renaming ceremony was a truly incredible and heartwarming experience— a highlight of our trip to Ghana. The Torgorme Community welcomed us home in a way that was both moving and uplifting. Our guide, Atsu, was not only kind and flexible, but also insightful, answering all of our questions with clarity and warmth. The boat ride at the end was beautiful! We are so grateful we were able to experience this.
