"This trip blew me away. I was excited to visit Africa for the first time and specifically Ghana but I never expected to be so inspired and moved. The Certified Africa founders were ingenious in curating a trip that addressed the many desires people of African-descent may have when journeying back to their homeland. From the traditional ceremonies to the tourism to the exceptional business investment event, I felt honored to be exposed to every facet of Ghanaian culture and welcomed fully. It was more than a trip but an experience that I will cherish for a lifetime."

"If I had planned the trip based on what I found and researched on the internet, I would have done like half of what you planned for us on our Ghana experience."

"AMAZING!!!! It exceeded all of my expectations. First class trip all the way…from the airplane to checking back in for the flight. All of the hosts were phenomenal and very helpful. The itinerary was very full of enriching activities and wonderful historical sites. I'll definitely recommend this trip and travel agency to any and everyone."

"Certified Africa helped my husband and I achieve something we thought was difficult or impossible and that is travel to the Motherland! Certified Africa held workshops with detailed instructions and steps to get our VISAs, flight tips, the trip itinerary and much more. They literally covered every question before we asked them. After the workshop we needed a question clarified and we were able to replay the recording and find the answers. Certified Africa responded quickly to any questions we had during our preparation for our trip via email and via their app. We received valuable information on flights, and expected cost that enabled us to budget well and smartly for our trip. We also received a travel package that offered Twi lessons which will enhance our communication with the local community on our trip. Certified Africa is very professional and has excellent customer service. We feel like we are talking with family. We are so happy we chose Certified Africa to host our first trip to Africa, not just because they provided us with so much valuable information and with essential tools to prepare us for our trip, but because their hospitality is like none other. We can't wait to host more trips with them!!!"

"There are not even enough words to describe the amazing trip my Husband and I had with Certified Africa here in Ghana. They answered all our questions and concerns ahead of time and provided all the necessary information for travel to Africa. Once on the ground they gave us days full of culture and love from the Certified Africa staff and the local people of Ghana. If you want to experience Ghana not just Accra. Book with Certified Africa. Thank you again Nii and Kristin and Team for all your hard work. No detail was left out."

"Certified Africa provided more than a trip, it was the experience of a lifetime! We met wonderful people, every day was educational, inspirational and just plain fun. Nii, Kristin and their team were so professional but at the same time, they felt like family. I would travel with Certified Africa every vacation if I could. Thank you for showing us Ghana and making The Year of the Return an unforgettable experience."

"I am so happy that I traveled to Ghana with Certified Africa. I honestly wouldn't want to travel with another travel group. The coordinators, the travel guides, the experience. Everything was more than I could've wished and I felt like I left Ghana with an experience I couldn't have even imagined."

Anika Boyce

"My experience was special and one that I will always cherish. It should be every black persons goal to set foot on the Motherland at least once... For me, I hope to many times. It was great to have Certified Africa there to facilitate this experience. They did a remarkable job and only added to the amazing time that just being in Ghana brought me."

Toya Parker

"While on this trip it allowed me to experience and achieve milestones that I never thought to do on my own. Such as crossing the bridge at Kakum Park and hiking up a mountain. It allowed me to embrace my fears and to step out of my comfort zone which was very exhilarating. Thank you for this experience."
