Add first reviewSince 2004

Ghana is especially well known for its arts and crafts, which reflect our traditions and cultures. Discover villages that specialize in the kente cloth, woven by the Ewe and Asante people for centuries. Witness the process of adinkra printing, wherein 60 Adinkra signs are used to depict proverbs. While exploring, you will find stalls selling masks and sculptures from Ghana, Togo, Benin, Mali, Burkina Faso, and other West African countries. Don't miss out on this opportunity to visit bead markets, traditional ceremonies, dances, character, and many more. An Arts and Crafts trip is ideal for university students, alumni groups, religious groups, fraternities and sororities, friends, families, or community service groups—in short, everyone!
