    Many thanks to Afia Tours (www.afiatours-ghana.com/) for taking on this amazing village food day trip in Ghana (Note: I paid for this tour, it is not sponsored, but I fully recommend it - it was awesome)!
    It was about a three hour drive from Accra to get to the village. The village was somewhere in the central Cape Coast region of Ghana (however no near to the coast, but much inland). The people from the village were so incredibly friendly, and it was one of the most genuinely hospitable and friendly villages I’ve ever visited. It was an honor and privilege to spend time at the village.
    As we arrived, they had already started cooking some Ghanaian food specialties. One the menu, we had banku with okra soup, fufu (a staple of West African food) with palm nut soup, and finally fried plantains with beans. All the food was incredibly good, and it was one of the best bowls of fufu I ate during my entire time in Ghana.
    Thanks again to Afia Tours (www.afiatours-ghana.com/) for setting this up!

    Wow, impressed with simplicity of villagers and beauty of Africa. This is one of the best video from Mark, also capturing culture. It was amazing to see how his son gets mixed with all kids..

    Those African kids are the happiest in the world all over Africa. They just dont know the hatred that awaits them if they leave their land one day.
