Gillian Goldsworthy was on our Kingdom of the Ashanti tour back in April and thought we might like this photo to add to our collection.

Gillian said, "The picture is of our tour guide Gabriel Ahima. Gillian had stopped on the side of the road and Gabriel cracked open this chocolate fruit to reveal the gorgeous sweet, creamy nectar inside! A choccy lovers delight!"

"Thanks for a wonderful tour, I can't praise Gabriel and George the driver enough".

Kingdom of the Ashanti Tour.

Europeans looking to become rich from gold, ivory or the slave trade struggled for power over Ghana; but the land had long before been the seat of the Ashanti Kingdom.

These are striking, proud Africans whose present day king is borne high on a palanquin, bedecked in gold, accompanied by rhythmic drums.

Ghana is the heartbeat of West Africa, a green land of immense natural beauty.
