Ancient Kente & Adinkra Villages, Traditional Home & Sakoban Krofro
Begin the day exploring the last standing remains of the Asante Empire - UNESCO-recognized traditional buildings constructed from mud, timber, and thatch. These sites are home to active shrines and walls marked with meaningful designs inspired by Adinkra symbols. This region also honors the legacy of Nana Yaa Asantewaa, a historic queen mother and military leader who played a key role in resisting British rule. A stop at her spiritual shrine in Ejisu Besease reveals more about her influence. Continue to the village of Adanwomase, the heart of Kente weaving in Ghana. Families here have been creating this iconic cloth for generations using handlooms that have remained unchanged for centuries. Discover the meanings behind different patterns, including a notable design named after former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Next, visit Ntonso, known for Adinkra cloth. These designs, carved from calabash and stamped with natural dye, are worn for important occasions and carry deep cultural significance. You’ll also have the chance to create your own piece. After lunch, head to Sokoban Krofrom, where artisans produce brass items using age-old methods. Watch a live demonstration and browse locally made jewelry and statues. In the evening, enjoy dinner at your hotel or explore Kumasi’s restaurant and nightlife options.
