What to expect

  • Manhyia Palace Museum and royal context
  • A guided market walk
  • Kente or adinkra craft with time to watch, not only to buy

Best for

  • Culture and design travellers
  • Visitors who want inland Ghana, not only the beach
  • Anyone building a route through the Ashanti Region

Ashanti culture is not a museum label. In Kumasi it is a living court, a market economy, and a craft practice you can still watch. This experience brings those pieces into one stay: Manhyia, the market, and a weaving or adinkra visit with someone who belongs to the work.

Go with a local guide. Kejetia is easier — and more generous — when you are not inventing the route yourself. The same is true of craft villages, where a good introduction matters more than a souvenir stop.

Based in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
