Return to the Motherland, African Heritage Tour 2026
Ghana has many exciting traditional festivals and our African Heritage Tour gives you the opportunity to
experience one of Africa's most exciting events. Festivals are occasions of great cultural pomp and pageantry and are important
occasions on the indigenous calendars of several of Ghana's ethnic groups that bring all of the sons and daughters home from where ever they
are to celebrate in their ancestral homes. Festivals reunite the entire ethnic group and are giant multi-day, sometimes week long celebrations
with parades, parties and feasting all over town.
Date: October 7th – 16th 2026 (9 Nights / 10 Days)
