Ghana 2025: Conscious Immersion

This was more than just a trip; it was genuinely an educational experience. As soon as I disembarked from the plane, I sensed the warmth and thoughtfulness. The organization and implementation by the whole team were commendable.

Ghana 2025: Tennessee State University

This was a phenomenal experience, well-curated and well received! I’m grateful to have been able to experience the beauty, history, traditions, and modern-day glitz of Ghana, and I will be back! The people who made up our travel cohort came as strangers and left as family, all while being welcomed as family into the land of our ancestors.

The phrase "ever on the altar" reminds us that Fisk’s story has always been one of devotion andsacrifice. The phrase captures the timeless commitment of those who gave their gifts so that Fiskmight endure. It is a reminder that every generation stands on that foundation, charged to offersomething of its own.This journey to Ghana carries that spirit forward. Participants are invited to engage deeply with acountry that has shaped global understandings of Black history, art, and identity. To walk inAccra, to stand in Cape Coast, is to recognize the weight of sacrifice and the promise ofconnection. In doing so, Fisk alumni solidify that the legacy of being "ever on the altar" continuesacross oceans and across time.In that same spirit of gratitude and homage, I present "ever on the altar." as a beloved daughterof Fisk. I’ve walked this path alongside dozens of fellow Fiskites and those experiences havedeepened my love for both Ghana and Fisk. More than anything, they have sharpened my senseof how much these journeys can teach us. It would be my pleasure to curate this one for you.-Angela E. Addae, J.D., Ph.D.Fisk '11

Ghana 2023: Homelands &amp; Homecomings pays homage to the multiple manifestations of "Home" for people across the diaspora. &nbsp;We immerse ourselves in the sacred energy of a homeland, and we invoke the jubilance of a homecoming celebration.&nbsp;
 
By exploring ancestral lands and uplifting community, this trip proves one thing to be true: "Home is where you are happiest."&nbsp;

When you arrive at the airport, you'll go through customs, pick up your bags, and exit the airport.Spot us at arrivals holding the "ONYX GROUP" sign!
 
We'll stop at a Forex Bureau to exchange currency, then head off to get adjusted and settled in. Take some time to rest and unwind after the long flight.
 
Food and fellowship are our love languages in Ghana, so we'll grab dinner to officially say "Woezɔ" (Welcome).

Welcome to Ghana

Day 1

What better way to recover from jetlag than a day at the beach? Accra is a coastal city dotted with many beaches, castles, and forts.
 
We'll spend the afternoon watching the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash against the shore. Be sure to indulge in the delicious fresh fruit juices, coconut water, and tasty treats such as charcoal-grilled tilapia and spicy kebabs.

Accra Beach Experience

Day 2

After a taste of Accra, &nbsp;it's only natural that we venture off into the Volta Region!
After breakfast, we will take off for an overnight excursion. The trip to Volta can take up to 3-4 hours, and the road conditions are extremely poor and bumpy. In some parts of the region, we may have zero to little access to cell service or internet connections. In other words, it's best to think of our time in the Volta Region as a "retreat."
 
We'll bask in traditional Ewe culture with a special visit to the Chief of Awate Agame. &nbsp;In a joyous and vibrant ceremony, we will engross in the popular Ghanaian culture of naming. &nbsp;At the end of the day, we will head to our hotel in Ho for a well-deserved night's rest.

Central Volta Region

Day 3

On Day 4, we'll explore the best that the Volta has to offer. Its landscape of rolling hills and valleys, with rocky outcrops, lagoons, rivers and waterfalls, is one of nature's most attractive gifts to Ghana.
 
Expect to feed curious monkeys at Tafi Atome, hike to Wli Falls for a swim, witness kente weaving in action, and much, much more.

Day 4

On Day 5, we'll explore the endless stretch of palm-lined beaches in the Southern Volta. With the Volta River on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, this gorgeous estuary is our very own paradise.&nbsp;
 
Let's sneak in a few adventures before heading back to Accra.

Southern Volta Region

Day 5

After a fun and exciting trip to the Volta, let's recuperate with some R&amp;R in Accra.&nbsp;
 
You might opt for a spa day with a masseuse, an art museum tour, lunch at a trendy restaurant, or a jewelry making class with local bead artists.

Rest & Relaxation Day

Day 6

We will grab breakfast and jump right in with a day trip to Cape Coast. Cape Coast is approximately 3 hours away from Accra by bus. We will stop at Kakum National Park, before heading over to the historic Cape Coast Castle. &nbsp;At Kakum National Park, we will take a 45-minute hike and cross over canopy bridges suspended 130 feet above ground. &nbsp;
 
Be sure to take in the beautiful panoramas on this beautiful trek!

Cape Coast

Day 7

To be honest, there's nothing we could say here to capture the essence of Accra. You'll just have to experience it yourself! &nbsp;Traffic can be rough, but isn't a gridlock just an opportunity to fully take in the sights, sounds, and scents of the city?! With a population of 2.27 million, this hub for creativity and culture is truly a wanderer's wonderland.
 
In our tour of Accra, we'll check out some of Ghana's most prized national treasures, including Independence Square, Makola Market, and the Centre for National Culture. We'll do lots of shopping in the markets of the city center, and there will certainly be a crash course on "bargaining."
 
We will also get a chance to relish in Accra's nightlife. As a tale of caution, most late nights turn into very early mornings, so don't skip your power nap!

Accra City Tour

Day 8

Grab some breakfast and prepare for a relaxing day. You might have a picnic at Aburi Botanical Gardens, explore the city one last time, or finalize your souvenir purchases.
 
We will convene for a farewell dinner, and raise a glass to future adventures together.
