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.
