Tour Itinerary:

Days 1 & 2: Accra, Ghana / El Mina Castle. We visit Ghana’s National Museum, with its striking ethnographic collection, then head along the palm-fringed coast to the 15th century Portuguese fortress of St. George de la Mina, entering its evocative slave dungeons and peaking through the “Door of No Return,” where captives were taken to awaiting ships.

Days 3 & 4: Kumasi / Akwasidae Festival. The Ashanti Kingdom was once one of the most powerful nations in Africa. Outside the Royal Palace, we watch the festive Akwasidae, an homage to the Ashanti king, with songs, dances, and royal procession of Ashanti chiefs adorned in golden ornaments.

Days 5-11: Traditional Tribes of the Savanna / Castles of Clay. Traversing a baobab-dotted landscape, we visit the adobe fortresses of the Lobi and Gourounsi clans and make our pilgrimage to the powerful Oracle of Tongo, accompanied by Talensi holy men. In northern Benin, we meet the isolated Tamberma and Somba, famous for their spectacular defensive architecture and fortified adobe castles complete with turrets.

Days 12-14: Mask Dances / The Voodoo World of the Coast. We visit villages of the Yom, with their fetish priests dressed in goatskin, and witness a Gelede mask dance with the Yoruba. On the coast, we meet traditional healers at a “voodoo hospital,” visit a fetish market, and watch a real voodoo ceremony accompanied by hypnotic rhythm of chanting and drums.
