More than a trip. A joyful return with depth.

The Sankɔfa Journey is for Black people ready to feel Ghana, not just pass through it: sacred sites, ceremony, food, family, music, history, laughter, and the deep remembering that comes from being welcomed home.

  • Move with guides who live in Ghana and understand the Black diasporic experience.
  • Experience sacred sites, culture, food, music, family connection, and moments of deep spiritual reconnection.
  • Travel with a community of serious sojourners who also want joy, ease, and good company.

What the journey gives people

Preparation and Orientation

Practical orientation, travel preparation, packing guidance, and simple cultural cues so arrival feels smoother and more enjoyable.

Hospitality and Logistics

Hotel accommodations, daily breakfast, Ghana ground transportation, entry into scheduled sites, group coordination, and experienced Journey guides.

Questions before you reserve

Clear answers help serious travelers understand what is included, what they arrange themselves, and how to prepare.

Is airfare included?

No. International airfare is not included for the 2026 Sankɔfa Journey. Participants arrange and purchase their own flights, and the Journey team will provide arrival guidance.

When are payments due?

The deposit deadline is July 29, 2026. The final payment deadline is October 31, 2026.

What visa information do I need?

Most travelers should use Ghana’s official eVisa portal at evisa.immigration.gov.gh to check eligibility by nationality and apply online. Passport, visa/eVisa, yellow fever proof, travel insurance, and related processing costs are each traveler’s responsibility. Ghana requires proof of yellow fever vaccination at the port of entry, so confirm current requirements before travel.

Can I attend only the conference?

Yes. The conference-only package is for participants who want conference access without the full Journey itinerary. Participants arrange their own lodging, and should confirm current rates, ownership, distance, and availability before booking. Nearby options to vet include:

Your return deserves joy, memory, and preparation.
