Echoes of Africa: The Pan-African Journey

16 days · Ghana · Egypt · Kenya · South Africa · from $8,950 per person

Most people come to Africa once and see one country. This is the journey for the traveller who wants the whole argument in one trip: where the diaspora left from, where the oldest African civilisation built in stone, where humanity itself began, and where the last colonial system fell.

Ghana — the departure

Accra, Cape Coast Castle and Elmina. The Door of No Return, walked in the direction your ancestors could not.

Egypt — the achievement

Giza, the Great Pyramid and the Egyptian Museum. Kemet taught as African history by Egyptologists who work with diaspora groups.

Kenya — the origin

The Rift Valley, the Nairobi National Museum and the hominid collection, and two nights in the Maasai Mara.

South Africa — the victory

Robben Island with a former political prisoner, the Apartheid Museum, and Soweto on foot. The journey ends where the last of it was beaten.
