Ghana Togo Benin Heritage and Celebrations

Embark on an incredible cultural journey through the remote regions of Ghana, Togo, and Benin, uncovering lost tribal worlds led by traditional chiefs and ancient spirits. Along the coast, in the heart of voodoo regions, we meet practitioners, witness trance-dances, and learn about the profound influence of voodoo spirits on people's lives. Accra, Ghana's capital, has maintained its unique identity despite rapid development, featuring modern buildings and wide avenues. Lomé, Togo's vibrant capital, is unique as the only African city once colonized by the Germans, British, and French. We will cross Lake Nokwe by motorized boat to reach Ganvié, the largest and most beautiful African village on stilts. With around 45,000 Tofinou inhabitants, they build their wooden huts on teak stilts. Fishing is their main activity.
