About Ashanti

Wear modest, traditional or semi-formal attire. Bright colors are appreciated, but avoid overly casual clothing like shorts or tank tops.

Always ask for permission before taking photos, especially at palaces or during ceremonies. Some sites may charge a photography fee.

Try local dishes like fufu with light soup or palm nut soup at chop bars (local eateries). Street food like kelewele (spicy fried plantains) is also a must-try.

Avoid pointing with your left hand, as it's considered disrespectful. Also, never step on or over a chief's stool, as it holds cultural significance.

Use tro-tros for affordable transportation, eat at local chop bars, and bargain politely at markets like Kejetia.

Support local artisans by buying handmade crafts, avoid single-use plastics, and respect natural sites like Lake Bosomtwe by not littering.

Dress modestly, remove your shoes before entering, and greet the chief or elders respectfully. Follow the guide's instructions during the tour.

Don't miss the Manhyia Palace Museum, Okomfo Anokye Sword Site, and Adanwomase Kente Village for a deep dive into Ashanti history and craftsmanship.
