A traditional naming ceremony - This was such a cool and unique experience. We were taken to an actual village, where we were greeted warmly by the villagers. We were given traditional Ghanaian attire to put over our clothes and beaded necklaces/bracelets,, and we participated in a pretty authentic naming ceremony complete with washing of our feet, incense, traditional colored clay on our face/hands (just a little), etc. it was cool to receive a Ghanaian name and to learn the significance of the name. We would definitely recommend this tour to those visiting Accra Ghana. The village was about 3–4 hours outside of Accra and there were some unfinished/unpaved roads along the way, so be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride at times. However, the experience was worth it.

Our homecoming experience unforgettable - Kwame's hospitality and knowledge made our homecoming experience unforgettable! The naming ceremony was filled with rich traditions, and Kwame ensured we understood every detail. It was heartwarming to embrace our heritage alongside others who share similar journeys. I would advise anyone to seize this opportunity—it’s life-changing!

My richest experience with the most loving people. - This was the most special life event. I felt the love of the entire village. To see how they gather to celebrate my welcome back home was simple emotionally inspiring. The elders joined me to dance, drumming, educating me on the purpose of the ceremony, the culture, etc. Was a pure heartfelt ceremony. The event was well organized and prepared. The love can be felt not just only the event but also after, as days goes by I carry the most beautiful smile reminding me such beautiful moment.

Highly recommend this unique experience - I recently attended a naming ceremony organized by this travel agency, and it was nothing short of magical! The attention to detail was impressive—from the beautiful decorations to the heartfelt cultural performances. The organizers made it easy for us diasporas to reconnect with our roots and create lasting memories. Highly recommend this unique experience for anyone wanting to celebrate their heritage!

Naming Ceremony - Very unique and insightful experience to witness life in rural Ghana. It lasted approximately 1-1.5hr at most although the drive took about 4-5 hours round trip.

A nice morning in a village. - The tour operator was professional, the car was clean and air-conditioned. I felt safe with them. I would use this operator again. The ceremony was a long drive out of Accra to a small village. The people in the village were lovely and welcoming. It was a combination of elders, men, women and children. They welcomed us with a dance and song. We sat in a circle under a large tree and the host began with a pouring libation as an offering. After a 2-hour drive, the actual ceremony was about 20mins, so very over-priced in my opinion, and they asked for donations at the end too. It was then time to leave but i asked to stay and speak to the women and children for a little while, which they were gracious enough to agree to. That was beautiful! They took me to the river, showed me their homes and we cooked together. They gave us a little gift of clay pot and wooden necklace. They invited us to share what we liked about Ghana and their village, which was nice. The host translated to the local dialect, Ewe. A nice (but expensive) morning.

Re-naming ceremony - The experience was wonderful and the people who performed the ceremony were welcoming and festive. I was expecting a different kind of ceremony, not one out at an actual village
