Itinéraire
L'une des attractions les plus importantes du palais qui ajoute à la riche expérience des touristes est le musée du palais de Manhyia. Ce musée, bien que de petite taille, contient de nombreux objets historiques et des amulettes de guerre et d'autres du royaume Asante. Le palais a été ouvert en 1995 lors de la célébration du jubilé d'argent de l'avènement du tabouret d'or.
Le musée présente des équipements militaires, des artefacts et d'autres objets utilisés pendant la guerre britannique Asante de 1990 ainsi que la Seconde Guerre mondiale. D'autres collections incluent des armes de guerre, des couleurs, des médailles, des voitures blindées, des portraits et des photographies. C'est une source de construction historique précieuse pour se référer à l'évolution et au développement du Ghana sous l'ère coloniale jusqu'à nos jours
Ce musée peut être petit mais la visite personnalisée incluse avec l'admission est une introduction fascinante à la culture et à l'histoire ashanti. Parmi les étalages figurent des artefacts liés au roi Ashanti Prempeh II, notamment la tenue de guerre du roi, des vêtements de cérémonie, des bijoux, des amulettes de protection, des équipements personnels pour le bain et la salle à manger, des meubles, des insignes royaux et quelques poids en laiton fins pour peser l'or. Construit pour ressembler à la maison d'un chef ashanti, il possède une cour à l'avant et des murs ornés de symboles traditionnels sculptés.
Enfermé dans son propre petit musée, le site d'épée Komfo Anokye est l'endroit où se trouve l'épée `` immobile '' enfoncée dans le sol par Okomfo Anokye.
Ntonso Adinkra Cloth Village. Ntonso est la patrie du tissu adinkra et le seul endroit au Ghana où l'adinkra traditionnel est fabriqué localement à partir de zéro. Ntonso est toujours le plus grand producteur d'adinkra du Ghana, un tissu célèbre pour ses symboles et sa sagesse proverbiale
Le tissu Kente est un tissu légendaire porté par les rois africains au cours des siècles. Le tissu est toujours fabriqué de manière traditionnelle à Adanwomse dans la région Ashanti du Ghana. Kente est porté non seulement pour ses designs accrocheurs mais aussi pour sa signification symbolique. Il y a plus de 300 modèles, chacun avec son propre nom et sa propre signification dérivés de proverbes, d'événements historiques, de chefs importants et de plantes précieuses.
Le marché central de Kumasi est un marché en plein air dans la ville de Kumasi, la capitale d'Ashanti. Le marché central de Kumasi est dans la biorégion de la forêt tropicale d'Ashanti sur la péninsule d'Ashantiland

Amazing tours and lovely driver, Jones was super flexible and accommodating to our needs and made super helpful recommendations. Did some Kente weaving! Adinkra symbol printings and many museums sightings too! We had such a good day!
Honestly the best tour I have done in Ghana so far!! Bibiniba Tours is an amazing tour company and worth all your money. I did. the Kumasi City tour with them and they could even add my extra wish to go to Akwasidae festival without any problems. I was picked up from my hotel and brought back and the tour guide Shee and driver Yao always made sure I’m comfortable and answered all my questions about the Ashanti Kingdom. For all people who only are visiting Accra, keep in mind it’s really worth it to make the trip to Kumasi- we visited all the sights in the city centre: Prempreh museum, sword side, Manhyia palace, etc. On top of that we went outside the city to a Kente Village where I could see how Kente is woven and to Adinkra village where I could print my own Adinkra scarf. The guide Shee was super knowledgable and could tell so many stories about Kumasi. The first day went so fine I directly booked a second tour to Boabeng Fieme monkey Sanctuary with them the next day. I highly recommend this tour company - Godfrey, Shee and Yao are a great team. Don’t look any further if you want a great cultural experience and a quality tour.
Honestly, I cannot say enough about Bibiniba Tours. I did a six day tour with this company throughout three Ghana regions! I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of our tour guide and the owner of the company, Kofi. He was very personable and accommodating. I had a lot of request and other tour companies told me that it was impossible to do all that I wanted in the time that I had but not Kofi. We literally did everything on my list. I’ve travelled to a lot of places (37 countries) and been on lots of tours but this was seriously thee best tour experience ever. I learned so much about the history, culture and traditions, I was able to immerse myself fully by having Asante traditional naming ceremony, eat the amazing food, get my hair done, get a custom made outfit, shop, check out the nightlife and see all the main attractions in Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast. I took a million pictures and videos lol I also learned a couple of words from the native language. I always felt safe and did not have any issues. Lastly, the name of this company means African child. I wanted to do something with the kids at a local school and when I tell you it was the most heartwarming experience!! Kofi and Aiyana do a lot with and for children in general.. support them! You will not be disappointed. You will have a real authentic and family feeling experience. I am already planning to return and use Bibiniba again- this time with more friends.
Godfrey and his team were simply amazing! I need to call out Josephine especially for being a wonderful tour guide and being flexible to the requirements I had to visit certain places for my research. Godfrey was extremely communicative through the early stages of customizing the itinerary up until I met up with Josephine in Kumasi. Josephine and her colleague were easy to talk to and made the trip even more memorable. It was a full day of one experience after another and we made it back to the airport in time for me to catch my flight back to Accra. I highly recommend booking with these professionals. I know I certainly will be back with my family next year!
I 100% recommend Kofi and his team, after my amazing tour experience in December 2019. The attention to detail and wealth of knowledge was incredible and uplifting. This experience has ignited a thirst for more and I will definitely be booking Kofi and his team, when I return with friends and family in 2020.
I had the pleasure in booking this tour company during my stay in Ghana in December 2019. Needless to say, it was the most impactful, enlightening, and overall most exciting trip I’ve every experienced. Kofi was excellent and I cannot put into words how he and his team took care of my group, and made us feel like family. I highly recommend!!
