ACCRA | ACCRA CITY TOUR | AFRICAN METROPOLIS Accra, the capital of Ghana, has maintained its unique identity despite the fast paced development currently underway in this intriguing African city. On the agenda is a visit to the National Museum, one of the first works of independent Ghana. We explore the old quarter of James Town, inhabited by the autonomous population known as the Ga. Our last visit will be to people specialized in building fantasy coffins. These handcraft-coffins are in shape of fruits, animals, fish, cars, airplanes…. and the only limit is the intended occupant’s imagination. Started in Africa, these flamboyant coffin designs are collected worldwide and exposed in museums. Meal(s) Included: Breakfast Overnight at Hotel

TOGO | FETISH MARKET Lome, city tour Lome, the vibrant capital of Togo, is the only African city having been colonized by Germans, British and French. It is also one of the few capitals in the world to be on the border with another nation. These elements have led to the development of a special identity reflected in the life style of its inhabitants and in the architecture of the town. Lome is a cross point for people, trade and cultures, a cosmopolitan city in small size. We will pay special attention to: The central market with its famous Nana Benz, women who have concentrated in their hands the market of expensive pagne (=cloths) coming from Europe and sold all over West Africa (it has been partially destroyed by a fire); The colonial buildings in the administrative quarter with a flavor of colonial time; The fetish market where one can find an eclectic assortment of all the necessary ingredients for love potions and magical concoctions.
