About this trip

Panafest is the Perfect time to visit Ghana! The biennial festival is observed every two years to celebrate people of Africa & African Decent. This is a beautiful homecoming celebrating heritage and culture!


The year of return marked 400 years since the arrival of the 1st recorded landing of a slave ship in Virginia, which launched the acceleration of the horrendous Middle Passage Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. The Green Book travel team is excited to lead a triumphant voyage, specifically for travelers of African Descent, welcoming you back HOME during one of the most preeminent festivals  of Ghana. “The Return” to the MOTHERLAND is here!


Our journey gives you an excellent opportunity to mix with locals and interact with traditional rulers and the people of this wonderful country. Immersing yourself in Ghana’s diverse culture and traditions is an experience that will live with you forever. We will be exploring Ghana's finest regions: Accra, Cape Coast & Kumasi- known for their rich and colorful culture, tradition and diversity.  This historic pilgrimage will be a Grand Homecoming! 


Our 11 day, 10 night trip is packed full of adventure and culture. You will be captivated by the legendary history and extraordinary culture and customs that are almost undiluted sprinkled in with a few extra surprises. The Return will be a trip of a lifetime. We look forward to hosting your journey!

I loved my trip to Brazil; Kennedy showed me a great time. I can't wait to travel with GreenBookTravel again. Every day was packed with fun stuff to do, and I still felt like I had time to relax. My travel group was super chill, I enjoyed meeting everyone, and the tour guides were the best. Thank you :)

I took the Roots Heritage Tour in Gambia with Green Book Travel and it was an AMAZING experience. My main guide Assam was so knowledgeable. The tour was very well coordinated from my hotel pickup to every stop throughout the day to the highlight of meeting Alex Haley and Kunta Kinteh's real life descendants. They pay attention to the smallest details to ensure your comfort throughout the day. As a solo traveler this meant a lot to me. Communication was great and timely throughout the booking process. They even remembered and recognized my birthday. :) Do yourself a favor and seek them out for your travels. It was truly a quality experience.

I had the absolute best time bringing in the New Year with Greenbook Travel in Ghana. I loved their attention to detail, quality itinerary and authentic cultural experiences. We were given ample time to connect with the locals, ask questions and participate in beautiful photoshoots to commemorate this incredible journey to the Continent.
