Agoo! This was a life-altering experience. From the welcome by the onsite personnel until the goodbye dinner, we were steeped in Ghanaian culture. This was not a trip to chill out by the pool and nap; it was a Masters-level sabbatical. Deeper Than Travel provides complete cultural immersion: a historical, social, economic, and spiritual examination of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism's long-lasting impact on the global Diaspora. The on-site staff was extremely accommodating and professional. We were well-cared for, and their cultural knowledge and genuine enthusiasm to show us Ghanaian hospitality, reinforced our sense of belonging. We were always greeted with warmth wherever we went. Each event on the agenda was carefully organized to provide us with a more complete picture of an emerging nation's accomplishments and concerns. The opportunity to return to the Motherland elicited a visceral emotion, reigniting the desire to see other African countries. I strongly recommend using Deeper Than Travel, especially if you are a first-time visitor to the African continent, you will not regret this trip. Piaw!

I had a wonderful time, meeting new people, enjoying authentic African cuisine and learning the history of Ghana. The trip went well despite delays that were beyond anyone's control. The experience that I had was shared through social media and has inspired many of my friends to explore Ghana and the continent of Africa as whole.
