LaNiece Thomas-Flagg and Bishop Lance Davis co-own Sankofa US. They have 25 years experience in planning tours to Ghana. They arranged tour groups for Dometi Pongo, Linal Harris, Metropolitan, Whitney Young and Rich Township High Schools, the Illinois Black Caucus, and World Vision, a host of churches, pastor clusters and various celebrations. "It is our joy to bring this unique, inspirational, educational, and transformative tour to the diaspora and beyond" ~ Sankofa US

We enjoyed ourselves.!!! This trip was amazing! The trip was professionally organized, educational, and provided spiritual wellness. The Sankofa staff was very attentive, knowledgeable and demonstrated high quality customer service. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to explore the true history of African culture with a spectacular Travel Company, that welcomes everyone like family.

By Alexes G for Ghana Independence Celebration Tour on Mar 13, 2026

The Sankofa US curated Ghana tour experience, in my opinion, is an incredible bargain. There is no way I could have seen and covered so much territory on my own. Additionally, the tour is educational, fun, and it renews one’s spirit. From the moment you touch the ground until you leave a week later, you are welcomed, nourished spiritually and physically, and protected. Their team is beyond exceptional! My wife and I are so happy we chose Sankofa US with our first ever visit to our homeland! I would strongly encourage anyone in the Black diaspora, particularly those in the United States, to take advantage of this opportunity. You will be blessed.

By Cedric G for Ghana Independence Celebration Tour on Mar 09, 2026

Thank you, Sankofa! The experience was memorable! The travel coordinations, accommodations, hosting, and historical visits exceeded all I imagined. Your professionalism and excellence are to be commended. We LOVE Bishop Davis, LaNiece, and the team for all they do!

By Al M for February 2026 Visa on Arrival for World Vision & IGM Ghana Entry on Mar 03, 2026

Our trip to Ghana with Sankofa Travel was truly a dream vacation. My wife and I have talked about visiting Ghana for as long as we can remember. We were excited about the experience, but we had no idea how much history, depth, and meaning were wrapped into this beautiful country. What made the journey even more powerful was the way Sankofa handled every single detail. From the moment we stepped off the airplane to the moment we returned home, we felt like the red carpet was rolled out for us. The preparation started long before we arrived. The team hosted meetings to make sure we were fully informed, prepared, and confident about what to expect. That level of care immediately set the tone. While in Ghana, everything was seamless. Reliable transportation. Air conditioned and clean vehicles. Plenty of water and snacks during long excursions. A strong emphasis on safety and comfort throughout the entire trip. We never once felt uncertain or overlooked. What elevated the experience beyond tourism was the knowledge and insight shared by Bishop Lance. His understanding of Ghana’s history, culture, and spiritual significance gave context to everything we saw. Sites that would have simply been landmarks became sacred moments of reflection and connection because of his teaching. This was not just a vacation. It was meaningful. It was educational. It was emotional. And it was unforgettable. There is not enough space here to fully express our gratitude, but if you are considering traveling to Ghana and want an experience that is both deeply enriching and meticulously organized, I highly recommend Sankofa Travel. They do not just plan trips. They create lasting memories.

By Kendrick B for February 2026 Visa on Arrival for World Vision & IGM Ghana Entry on Feb 23, 2026

Sankofa US provided us with an exceptional experience during our visit to Accra, Ghana. Everything was well organized, meaningful, and culturally enriching. Our guide, Emmanuel, was an amazing host! He was knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive throughout our overnight trip to Assin Manso, Elmina Castle, and Cape Coast Castle. His passion and insight truly brought each site to life. We highly recommend Sankofa US to anyone looking for an unforgettable and authentic Ghana experience.
