The excited participants of Citi FM/Citi TV’s 2024 Heritage Caravan, fondly known as ‘Caravanites’, had an enriching encounter with nature at the Kintampo Waterfalls in the Bono East Region.
The experience of ascending the Canopy Walkway was a mix of thrill and fear for the ‘Caravanites’. Emotions ran high as some called for help, while others expressed their exhilaration.
The majestic Kintampo Waterfalls, the highest in Ghana, offered the ‘Caravanites’ a memorable atmosphere as they admired the natural beauty and captured the moments in photographs.
On the fourth day of the tour, dubbed ‘Citi Day’, the ‘Caravanites’ will leave the Kintampo Waterfalls for Favour Restaurant in Tamale, before heading to GANASS and LaPam Zokour Hotel in Bolgatanga. A delightful dinner at the GANASS Hotel is planned for the evening.
Their visit to the Kintampo Waterfalls and Eusbett Hotel coincides with Ghana’s 67th Independence Day Anniversary, which is underway in Koforidua, in the Eastern Region.
On the third day of their journey, Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the ‘Caravanites’ had the opportunity to admire the exquisite gold ornaments on display at the prestigious Manhyia Palace Museum in the Ashanti Region.
So far, the ‘Caravanites’ have spent four days of their eight-day expedition touring various regions including the Volta Region, Eastern Region, Ashanti Region, and currently, the Bono Region, immersing themselves in the rich culture of Ghana.
Their next stop, on day 5, Thursday, March 7, 2024, will be the Crocodile Pond at Paga in the Upper East Region.
