Group Trip to Ghana

March 3–12, 2028

Hosted by ReThreeTravel · Ground services by Tourpedia Travel, Accra

Roots & Reckoning: Ghana 2028 is a small-group heritage and culture trip to Ghana, West Africa, hosted by ReThreeTravel. Over 10 days, we’ll travel through Accra, Cape Coast, and Kumasi. You’ll walk through Cape Coast Castle and the Door of No Return, visit kente weaving and Adinkra stamping villages, walk the Kakum canopy walkway, and be fitted for a custom Ghanaian outfit by a local tailor. Hotels, most meals, private guides, transportation in Ghana, and entry fees are included.

Face the history. Celebrate the culture. Feel the connection.

Why This Trip

Ghana is a place to visit with intention. Along its coast stand the castles where enslaved Africans were held before being forced across the Atlantic, and just beyond them is a living culture that has carried its traditions for generations. Ghana asks you to slow down, listen, and let the history speak.

That’s why this journey is built around three pillars: face the history, celebrate the culture, and feel the connection.

If Ghana has been on your someday list, Roots & Reckoning is the answer to someday. Ten days in Ghana with people who are ready to go deeper than the photo. We’ll be welcomed with “Akwaaba” the day we land, and measured by a Ghanaian tailor that first day, so you fly home with Kente clothing made just for you.We’ll stand where millions experienced their last views of Cape Coast and walked through the Door of No Return. We will bring back treasures from Ghana that only our hearts can hold.

Enjoy the experience without having to navigate or figure out the small details independently. You won’t have to figure out taxis or find your way through a busy market by yourself. I’ll be traveling right alongside you, and our ground partner, Tourpedia Travel, a team based in Accra, will handle every detail on the ground.
