This cultural immersion in Ghana, Togo, and Benin takes you from one of the oldest European buildings in Sub-Saharan Africa to contemporary museums that reveal the intertwining of old and new, from celebratory funerals to symbolic mask dances that few intrepid travelers have the chance to witness. You'll feel the soulful spirit of West Africa as you meet local people, marvel at the continent's raw and beautiful landscapes, learn about the mysteries and power of Voodoo, and feel the rhythms alongside villagers at the Akwasidae or Fetatrotro festival (certain departures).

Highlights:

  • Witness the mesmerizing beauty of traditional African architecture and way of life — including a West African cooking workshop
  • Marvel at the most spectacular masked dances and Voodoo rituals

Important Trip Details:
This trip is rated activity level 2. It includes easy walking tours of varied length, attending local festivals, performances and religious ceremonies, and boat rides to remote stilt villages. Guests can expect some rough road travel and simple but best available accommodations.
