The naming ceremony was an incredible experience. The 2.5-hour drive from Accra to the village was well worth it, offering a fascinating glimpse into the countryside. Our tour guide, Freedom, was exceptional – knowledgeable, helpful, and a skilled driver. The ceremony itself was moving and memorable. We wished we'd known to bring donations, but were glad to contribute cash to the village. The return to the motherland was both powerful and humbling. An unforgettable experience

Amazing and unique experience to the Volta region. The naming ceremony was so beautiful and welcoming with many villagers in attendance. I loved the explanation of the ritual and so happy to have an African name now. The boat river cruise after was very nice and peaceful. I’d love to stay at the resort that this was held. Great tour and great tour guides!
