What will I be doing on this trip?
The Ashanti Kingdom stands out as a preferred tourist destination in West Africa with its rich history, time-honoured traditions, arts and natural scenic beauty. All the ethnic groups in Ghana cherish their culture. Visitors to Ghana are enthralled by the fascinating cultural experience that link the past to the present in the institution of rich regalia and chieftaincy, famous kente cloth, traditional festivals and rites.

This tour is about experiencing the richness of the Ashanti culture. We recommend that this tour should fall on the Akwasidea festival celebrated every six weeks in accordance with the Akan Calendar so that you can have a feel of how Ashantis celebrate their festival. Your visits will help enhance the sustainability and enhancement of local culture, heritage, and minimize negative impacts.
