Fantastic. Excelled at every detail. Exceeded my expectations.

The 10th Africa With Us anniversary trip to Ghana was a beautiful celebration that offered both returnees and first-time visitors a rich blend of cultural presentations, ancestral experiences at historical slave sites, and healing activities alongside joyful dance and movement sessions. The culinary experiences were an unexpected highlight. Led by Ghanaian women who had left the country in their youth and returned as creative entrepreneurs—bringing their skills, passion, and innovation back home in powerful and inspiring ways. The hosts were truly delightful, as was their entire staff. One of the most memorable moments for me was the family experience, where we learned to create batik designs and took part in everyday lifestyle activities typical of a Ghanaian home. It offered a warm, authentic glimpse into daily life and added a deeply personal touch to the journey.

It was a wonderful trip from start to finish and I would use Africa With Us on any future group outing.

We had a great time, good food and outstanding accommodations. I appreciated the personal attention and I appreciated the tours. I found the tour’s to be informative and worthwhile. We got to experience what really makes Ghana an exceptional nation.

Visiting Mama Africa for the first time felt like a homecoming. So much felt familiar. We clapped when we landed in Nairobi, Kenya. We drank medicinal daily tea made of fresh ginger, lemon, and honey (dawa gives you power!). The fresh fruit and well-seasoned food was spectacular, even if Kenya did not have hot sauce. It was not mango season, but pineapples were some of the sweetest I’ve ever had, and the watermelon everywhere had seeds. The weather in Zanzibar was my favorite! I’ve been visualizing those azure waters for years. And I danced! The rhythms in Kenya and Tanzania were reminiscent of Jamaica and Cuba. Of course there were many new experiences, from the safari, community service in the slum, visiting the Maasai, cooking with the Swahili dadas (sisters) to exploring both Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam. I’m grateful to Africa With Us for the guidance and company through those experiences. Traveling with Cass and her team of local travel staff made the trip a fun, safe travel adventure! Of all the memories, the kindness of my African people has made an indelible mark and I look forward to returning soon, and hopefully again with Africa With Us!
