Living Heritage Experience

• Tour Details

On the Living Heritage experience you will learn about West African culture, day-to-day lifestyle of the people and hospitality by being paired with a Host Family in the local community. You will be paired with a welcoming family who will greet you as they greet all travelers with open arms.

They will offer you a chair and refreshments, ask of your journey, of your people (where you come from), and ask what brought you to their community. You will be embraced with hospitality and a place to rest.

Rural/Village Life:  You will be invited to help tend to daily tasks like bargaining for food ingredients and other essentials in the marketplace. You will also help in preparing a typical Ghanaian meal with your host family. You will learn the benefits of local herbs and natural remedies from the people of the village and experience a moderate way of living sustainably with nature.

City/Township Life:  You will be invited to join your host family to relax and exchange stories over a meal at a local chop bar, shop for fabric in the marketplace, visit a local tailor to have garments made and attend a family gathering (funeral, wedding, etc.) You will experience the warmth, friendliness, and the energy of the people — you’ll never want to leave.

Here, you would learn about the relationship between the western slave traders and the African tribes that made the trans-Atlantic slave trade possible.
