“Being on this journey was better than anything I could ever have dreamed of. I felt like I was home with family.”
Jason Sampson, SojournerQuestions 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 participate without joining a travel package?
Yes. The Sankɔfa Journey VIP Patron Pass is for supporters who want premium conference and festival participation without the official Journey travel itinerary. It is not a travel package, so lodging, airfare, ground transportation, personal travel arrangements, individualized consulting, and private concierge services are not included. Participants should confirm current rates, ownership, distance, and availability before booking any independent accommodations. Nearby options to vet include:
- Aburi Sweet Mother Guest House and Restaurant in Aburi, which presents itself as a family-inspired Ghanaian hospitality destination and publicly lists a 4.9/5 rating.
- Lord and Larbi Hotel in Adukrom Akuapem, which lists 24 rooms, a restaurant/bar, and conference facilities.
- Hill Palace Hotel in Peduasi/Akwapim Mampong, which lists 40 air-conditioned rooms and is near the Aburi ridge area.
Your return deserves joy, memory, and preparation.
