Registration Open Now For New and Existing Experiences Including Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal

WASHINGTON, DC (OCTOBER 1) -- African Ancestry, Inc. (AfricanAncestry.com) today announces the availability of a new birthright journey to Nigeria as part its popular African Ancestry Family Reunions (AAFR). Registration is open today at www.AfricanAncestry.com/Travel and includes Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal and Sierra Leone. The AAFRs are specially-curated, all-inclusive experiences of the various ancestral origins of AfricanAncestry.com’s family of testers.

AfricanAncestry.com has partnered with Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission and the Nigerian Tourism Authority to ensure authentic travel experiences. From the Igbo and Yoruba people to the Fula and Hausa people, the AAFR fully immerses travelers in cultural reclamation and healing events such as Door-of-No-Return tributes; galleries, museums and landmarks; food, festivals, and markets; and culminates with an African Ancestry Reveal of newly tested customers during a public Renaming Ceremony for all attendees. Arriving and departing in Lagos, the Nigeria reunion includes top accommodations, in-country travel, meals and attractions, among others. Visit www.AfricanAncestry.com/Travel for more details.

“African Ancestry Family Reunion Trips were created to honor the strength and resilience of our ancestors, our heritage and Africa,” said Dr. Gina Paige, president and co-founder of AfricanAncestry.com. “We are thrilled to add Nigeria to our itineraries as it is one of the top countries where we find ancestry.”

The AAFRs have grown since its launch during Ghana’s Year of Return in 2019 with routes to Ghana and Senegal now available year-round. Two trips to Cameroon scheduled for December 1, 2024, and March 16, 2025. Sierra Leone remains a mainstay since the historic forging of a path to citizenship for its testers in 2021.

“Test by test, we are at the forefront of heritage tourism for Africa’s descendants,” said Paige. “It is gratifying to support tourism in West Africa and witness our people return home to their roots to engage and contribute to the continent’s development,” added Paige.
