The last time we saw you, you were in chains and shackles.
We heard your cry's In the dungeon and you were marched through the door of no return never
to return to your culture and people, stripping you of your African Identity.
Mothers hoped to reunite with their kidnapped sons,
Children waited for their parents to return to them.
The land still mourns the death of the sons and daughters that couldn’t make it
Emancipation was all our ancestors cried, bled and hoped for, to one day see the land they
once called home, returning not in shackles but with stronger descendants appreciating and
acknowledging the resilience and power that bore them.
Reunite with the land and retrace the footsteps of our
ancestors and reconnect with your people.
This is my way of retelling the untold stories of the darkest days of our history we try to forget yet remembering the screams and tears.

Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park, Assin Manso, Ghana We visit the Assin Manso slave river site which served as the place where slaves had their last bath on African soil before being marched down to the slave castles. They were fed and cleaned so they appeared attractive and healthy to guarantee higher prices. hot branding irons were used to burn identifying marks onto the skin of captives. The marks were a scar on the shoulder, breast or upper arm to show ownership. Other times, branding was used to show that proper duty had been paid. it is now a sacred place of remembrance. it is home for the first 2 diasporas (Lady Crystal from Jamaica and Samuel Carson from New York) whose remains were brought to Ghana through the “door of return” and Reburied. Also remains of African slave descendants from Barbados are buried on the site to symbolize emancipation and reconnection. 60 minutes

The absolute worst experience!
No one came to pick my friend and I up for the tour. My friend and I called multiple times and sent various messages, however, no one responded ????
I received an email 2 hours and 40 minutes after the pickup time to apologize for no one showing up!
In addition, the email suggested that I may not receive a refund if they decided not to process a refund ???? such bull sh*t!
Do NOT book with this company, complete scam and extremely unprofessional!! ????????????

Nii was an amazing guide! At the beginning of our journey he set the tone of our tour with powerful message of remembrance and honoring our ancestors.
The full day tour began very early and so he ensured we had a proper breakfast to start our day. The visit to the Ancestral Slave River was very moving.
After the river we visited Kakum National Park. I was nervous crossing the canopy trail, but Nii was very supportive and helped encourage me across the trail!
We then went to the Slave Castles, which as you can imagine was a very emotional experience.
After the castles we enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the beach where Nii helped us order delicious traditional Ghanaian dishes!
If you are planning to visit Ghana, I highly recommend you book with Nii as he was a wonderful guide with great energy and vast knowledge of this beautiful country!
