Day 1 - Arrival & Bosta Market Exploration
Welcome to Boankra! After your arrival and settling in, we begin our journey by venturing into the bustling Bosta Market, popular for its locally made Ghanaian textiles, jewelry, and spices. Keep an eye out for the colorful Kente cloth, a must-have souvenir. After filling up your shopping bags, we'll take a break with a typical Ghanaian lunch at a local eatery.

In the evening, we'll absorb the setting sun's golden hues over Lake Boankra. A perfect ending to a perfect day. Relax and ready yourself for the next day's adventure, we're just getting started!
Day 2 - Boat Ride and Cultural immersion
Boankra shows off her prettier side today as we head toward the serene Lake Volta for a boat ride. With freshwater caressing the hull, and the occasional bird darting past, this will undoubtedly be one of those snapshot memories. From rippling blue waters, we shift to the pulsating beats of African drums! Immerse yourself in the cultural celebration at a traditional dance performance in the evening. Now you see what they mean by 'feel the rhythm'! Don't forget to try the local beer - it's brewed from sorghum, and sipping it under the star-filled African sky is simply unforgettable. Tired yet rejuvenated, you'll turn in, excited for the upcoming day's exploration.
Day 3 - Local Cuisine and Farewell
Our last day in Boankra is reserved for a delightful crash course in traditional Ghanaian cooking. Ever wondered what goes into making Ghana's delicious stews and soups? It's time for a hands-on experience! We'll shop for ingredients at a local market, then get guided by an expert Ghanaian chef who will share their secret recipes. For lunch, savor the dishes you've just cooked. A true testimony to 'taste of culture' wouldn't you say? In the afternoon, capture the last snapshots of this memorable trip before we pack our bags, filled with mementos, off to say our goodbyes to lovely Boankra. What an amazing trip - cultural, colorful, and full of warmth!
