As many of you know Ghana is one of Africa’s most prosperous nations rich in natural resources and as of late has become one of the fastest growing destinations for travelers of African diaspora. This visit will allow us to pay tribute to our ancestors and hopefully return to educate our loved ones.

Many travelers express feeling at home when visiting Ghana and SheIsWildlyFree has carefully curated this experience to make you feel just that.

Journeying back will be DEEP, it will be EMOTIONAL, IMPACTFUL, and HEALING for some.

We plan to visit the following:

ACCRA (2 nights, return 1 for night, 3 nights total)
Accra is the capital and the heart of the country. It’s bustling with beautiful people, historic landmarks, an EPIC foodie scene and plenty of dazzling nightlife.

KUMASI (2 nights)
Kumasi is cultural immersion at it’s finest, encompassing artful kente cloth weaving, traditional markets and home and center of the Ashanti culture and tribe.

CAPE COAST (2 nights)
The Cape Coast which can be described as scenic and stunning, hosts the famous UNESCO World Heritage site overlooking the Gulf of Guinea, where many of our ancestors took their last bath before entering the dank dungeons of the Trans- Atlantic slave trade.

Each and every place we visit is intentionally curated making this journey an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.
