Our tour of Ghana can certainly be classified as “ELITE” with Sankofa US!! It was the most INCREDIBLE experience of my lifetime. From the beginning with Bishop Lance Davis, the Zoom preparation meetings were efficient, thorough, and informative. All the details and specific personalization, whether complex or simplistic, were handled seamlessly behind the scenes prior to departure. Upon meeting the Sankofa US team when we landed in Accra, and for the duration of our 10-day visit, we received the royal treatment. Kudos to the phenomenal Sankofa team of Emanuel, Selorm, Mba, Georgina, Sampson and Ebenezer. Their level of customer service and client attentiveness superseded my expectations!! Bishop Lance Davis and the team provided an in-depth historical education of every important aspect of the Ghanaian people, culture, environment and ecosystem. A few of the highlights were personal tours of two slave castles & dungeons, the Manhyia Palace, several museums, attending the 157th birthday celebration of W.E.B. Dubois, Independence Square, and presenting our donated items to a local school in the village. Lastly, our “Renaming Ceremony” was simply breath-taking! I highly recommend to everyone, without hesitation, to consider Sankofa US for your next Ghana excursion! Sandra Warren-Holder

Our journey to Ghana and Rwanda in partnership with Sankofa and WeTravel was a uniquely enriching experience. We dove deep into African History of the Gold Coast slave trade and the Rwandan Genocide. We met local people who are building new redemptive and caring communities. We stayed in very nice accommodations and our in country transportation was wonderful. More focus on the accomplishments of the African diaspora in spite of slavery would have been an encouraging redemptive note on which to end. Seeing the reconciliation village and meeting survivors and perpetrators and hearing their testimonies of forgiveness was priceless.
