Naming Ceremony experience performed by the Queen Mother. Naming ceremony is a special and symbolic experience that allows participants to connect with local traditions and culture. Known as "Outdooring" in some ethnic groups, particularly among the Akan, this ceremony celebrates the naming of an individual, marking their introduction to the community and the ancestors. It’s an opportunity to receive a traditional Ghanaian name, often based on the day of the week they were born (following the Akan tradition). The ceremony typically involves prayers, the pouring of libation to honor the ancestors, and blessings from elders. It may also include drumming, dancing, and a communal meal. Participating in this rite as a foreigner not only provides a deep cultural immersion but also signifies respect for Ghanaian traditions, fostering a meaningful connection between the visitor and the local community. The new name symbolizes their place within the Ghanaian culture and heritage.
The extensive tours which include that of Assin Manso will bring you to an emotional moment with in-depth travel into slavery.
Cape Coast Castle also known as World Heritage Site was established by Swedes Colonists and built by slaves in the 1650s. The castle was mainly for slave transport of Ghanaians and other West Africans who walked on foot to Ghana to be transported to other European countries

Amazing experience. It was definitely an experience everyone should do once in their lifetime. Nsroma Adventures is an outstanding tour company. Miss Ruby is exceptional and made the trip. The individual hosts at each site was fabulous and the history was well explained. As I stated earlier this is a trip everyone should experience.
The tour was wonderful we had an awesome time our guide Ms Ruby was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend using her and her team.
Miss Ruby was truly the best guide we could have hoped for. From start to finish, she was incredibly patient, calm, and kind, creating such a comfortable and welcoming experience for all of us. She took the time to explain everything in clear detail, making sure no one felt lost or left behind. What stood out the most was how she genuinely encouraged us to ask questions. She never rushed through anything and always made sure we fully understood before moving on. Her positive attitude and deep knowledge made the entire experience both enjoyable and memorable. If you ever have the chance to be guided by Miss Ruby, consider yourself lucky—you’ll be in the very best hands!
UNFORGETTABLE!! This was an amazing experience that I would strongly recommend to all my friends and family! It was incredibly touching and informative. A perfect mix of adventure, history, and honor. Our hike was great! Very manageable and a fun experience for all ages. Our tour guide, Ruby, was amazing and was able to answer any question we had about the country, region, and culture. In addition to that she has incredible photography and videography skills and will capture shots that you’ll want to show friends for a lifetime. I urge my brothers and sisters to experience this journey, and for others to come learn more about the history of this land and its people!
Everything was amazing. From booking, the driver, to the personal touches our guide gave us. We were so grateful for the day. You MUST book this experience- you definitely will not regret it. It was a full day leaving from Accra. But SO WORTH IT. We will do it again when we return to the motherland.
Great Experience! Very memorable for my entire family. Will recruit other family members to travel to Ghana to partake in this event
Ruby was excellent. She answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable through the tour. we learned alot during the tour.
