This day will be spent in the celebration by reclaiming your true African name in a special village naming ceremony. You will be led in a procession to the Paramount Chief’s Palace where the whole village will be assembled. The Paramount Chief will perform the special naming ceremony after a round of hearty welcomes and speeches. No less than a hundred locals will be present to participate. The naming ceremony, a spiritual and memorable experience, begins with the drumming of the “frontomfrom” drums and dancing performed by local village dancers, who will also extend an invitation to the group to participate in the unique cultural dance. After the drumming and dancing, your family head and elders of your village will jointly name you after a great personality in your family or community.  Overnight at your Hotel in Accra  (Meals Included: Breakfast
