Ghana, Togo, Benin - Voodoo and Tribal Festivals 1890 , 12 Days

Ghana, Togo and Benin - a colourful African palette with plenty of sun and spirit! If you wish to immerse in the real atmosphere of voodoo society, to explore the roots of this unique concept of the world, to become a witness of the traditional voodoo practices, follow us towards the place where this cult lives its daily, genuine life – Ghana, Togo and Benin in Western Africa! Besides seaside colonial fortresses having served as starting points in the slave trade and attendance of local voodoo rituals and fire dances, the tour offers also walks in the capitals of these three countries as well as in their much more curios countryside – villages with traditional African architecture, national parks and the unique Abomey Palace – the centre of the legendary kingdom of Dahomey!

Highlights:
♦ The Voodoo culture
Elmina Castle - a gloomy reminiscence of slavery

No special experience is needed; everyone who is in condition to cope with long Saturday walks in the forest can also cope with these tours. As a rule, the trips are short and at a low altitude. Often, it is your choice to join or skip a day-tour. The routes follow a hilly terrain without steep ascents and descents. Normally we walk 3/5h a day.
