  • I went to Ghana for the Year of Return and had an amazing time! This Ghana vlog series will take you through my time in this amazing country. Next up, the Kakum National Park Canopy Walk. We took a 3.5 hr bus ride from Accra to the Elmina area where we spent two nights. First day we hit Kakum and I crossed ALL 7 canopies in this harrowing video and you get to come right along with me for most of it. A quick look at Coconut Grove Beach Resort as well! More Ghana travel vlogs from my trip are coming---stay tuned! My visit to the Elmina Slave Castle will be in my next vlog.
    My entire trip was booked and curated by Gone 2 Ghana: tsabd.com/2SRN827. I heard about this because some of my blogger friends went last year and I said YOLO and booked my travel. Gone 2 Ghana booked everything: my flights, hotel, group transportation, activities, food, etc. All I did was pay my money and show up...lol. There were parts of the trip I would tweak had I done it on my own, but since planning trips is not my favorite thing, this was a good option for me.
    What is the Year of Return? 2019 marked 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were taken from West Africa to the US. There was a call for those descendants to return "home" in 2019. This is one of the reasons why you saw so many of your fave Black celebrities and influencers in Ghana this December.

    I would’ve been so scared to walk on one bridge let alone seven. My scared behind would’ve been like is there a weight limit? How many ppl have fallen? Aight I’m gonna head back?🤣. Y’all singing Reading Rainbow is why I love my black ppl 😊. TFS

      TheBklynite278 you chipping in for one? Lol. All jokes aside, it wouldn’t make sense for me to have one unless I rented one just for stuff like this. I don’t do enough stuff that requires a go pro. I do want to upgrade my vlogging camera and vlog camera lenses soon now that I’m getting a hang of it 🙌🏿❤️❤️

    Ok, we also went to Kakum National Park in Ghana...our travel group did not WARN us that it was going to be this type of forest walk...we thought it was going to be a flat land instead of a upwards HIKE....some people wore flip flops and sandals, smh...nonetheless, I tried to take footage of my hiking and experiencing the canopy walk, but I was scared that I was going to trip or lose my camera so I didn't get the shots you did. I also went left on the canopy walk instead of right. 3 canopies were fine...I did not want to do 7, lol...We also went to Coconut Grove Beach for lunch...but we did not spend the night in the area. I wish we had because we were so TIRED traveling there from Accra (all the activities) and traveling back to Accra all in the same day...DEAD TIRED

      @styleandbeautydoctor  Před 4 lety

      Right 3 were enough but I got peer pressured into doing 7 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope nobody hurt themselves on that hike in their sandals 😩
      The Coconut Grove Hotel was a bit underwhelming on the inside (and a roach falling into my makeup wasn’t fun) but it was good to have that rest in between traveling.

      Jennifer Eldridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok in my defense, I only packed two pairs of shoes: my heels and my Teva sandals. Then in my head I said I would wear my sneakers to travel to save room. Except instead of going in the closet to get my real sneakers, I put these on out of habit because they’re what I’ve been wearing lately when I go out here in NYC 🤣🤣🤣🤣
