About this trip

On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger and his Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas. It was then, the troops informed everyone that all enslaved were now free. A full two-and-half years after President Lincoln read the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Now, this date, known as the day that all were considered “free”, is celebrated as Juneteenth.


During this 7 day, 6 night curated experience in Ghana during Juneteenth, your soul will be fed with culture to the brim! You’ll learn about the history of our ancestors, experience the art, culture, food and architecture of Accra while vacationing with like-minded, culturally curious travelers!

This was my second time and I wasn’t disappointed! Everyone was so attentive and helpful. I’m so grateful for everyone who helped us with this amazing experience!

WOW! Is the best word I can think of to start off this review! I left wishing I could extend my trip. From the customer service, the food, the people, my accommodations, ;the guides, everything was incredible. KLA did an amazing job with curating such a well thought out experience and catered to our every needs. They went above and beyond to ensure we experienced no stress, had a great time, ate good food, heard fantastic music and truly learned about our history while also experiencing luxury travel. THANK YOU! I will definitely come back...

I'm an avid traveler and I can honestly say this trip ranks among the very best I've ever taken. Ghana is amazing from the people, the food and the culture it's so special. My fellow travelers were AMAZING. We came together as strangers and left #cousinsforlife. There aren't enough words to express how amazing the KLA team is. The majority of our group had travel issues and missed the first day. The KLA team is so good they quickly pivoted and shifted the welcome dinner so ALL of us were able to do everything on the itinerary. There were several times where the team had to pivot and it was so smooth we didn't even realize it was a pivot. I'm not one for group trips and KLA may have ruined me even further because they have set a standard that feels impossible to match. The majority of our group were women and at all times we felt safe, cared for and protected whether we were shopping in the markets or getting turned up at the club. Our group was able to be fully present, soaking in the beauty of Ghana and new friendships without a single worry. That feeling of freedom and connection is priceless and I will carry it in my heart forever.

As this being my fourth KLA Goes to Ghana trip, I must say it was AMAZING!!!! KLA has done an EXCELLENT job of curating each trip to create new memories each and every time. Every trip has been great but even better than the last! I feel like this trip was made just for me and everything that I like! The shopping, the food, the culture, the sights, sounds, the people (I can go on and on!) is different and special! The KLA team (who has become my family) is outmatched when it comes to service and quality!!! They paid attention to our needs and made sure that we all were enjoying ourselves throughout the trip! Most importantly, this trip had the BEST group of travelers that made the experience even more memorable!! We had a such amazing time!!! We came together as strangers and left as cousins!! #cousinsforlife KLA has been the BEST group travel experience I have had thus far!!! Can’t wait to join the next trip soon!

This is my second KLA Goes to Ghana experience, and once again I was blown away by the care, kindness, intentionality, and unmatched levels of curated excellence that is the hallmark of the KLA experience. Davida, Mika and their team truly leave no stone unturned. This was more than a luxury vacation — this was a deeply soul-stirring moment with memories made during each part of the itinerary (and brilliantly captured thanks to the amazing media and content teams with us each day!) There is a nuanced and thoughtful approach the KLA team takes when carefully crafting and curating each part of the itinerary that you won’t find anywhere else. The KLA team truly makes this experience the very best of being “home”.

I travelled on the Juneteenth 2024 trip, and my expectations were far exceeded to say the least. So much detail and effort went into so many things and I felt welcomed, pampered and so taken care of. KLA curated such an amazing experience that I didn’t want to leave after the trip was over. The KLA staff were AMAZING, from the film team, to the everyday staff to the transportation team. I’m hoping they will add other locations as I would definitely participate on another trip. My only suggestion is regarding the add on safari. Adding more information about the safari would be helpful to future clients (i.e. clothes to pack, time of arrival, bringing snacks for that event, etc.) Also, the safari was great but I’d prefer to have done it first then do KLA part (which would also maybe impact how clients need to pack). In any event, it was a great experience and I’m itching to go back.

I have travel with Kate Lynn & Adwoa Lifestyle Brand this past year. This group is absolutely amazing and every bit of wonderful you can have for travel. Hosts are amazing and the staff are phenomenal. I can’t recommend this group enough for the experience my wife and I shared.
