An insightful piece on the progression of tourism from the early years.

The earliest forms of leisure tourism can be traced as far back as the Babylonian and Egyptian empires. A museum of “historic antiquities” was open to the public in the sixth century BC in Babylon,…

A visit to Tengzug Shrine in the Tongo Hills:

THE TALENSIS PEOPLE OF NORTHERN Ghana require you to be topless to observe one of their sacred rituals. With the smell of animal blood and f***s bombarding their senses, man and woman alike must bare themselves to the sub-Saharan heat to enter the Tengzug Shrine in the Tongo Hills.

The Tengzug Shrine, one of the most famous in the region, was once a hideout for slaves evading their captors. Now, it is used more traditionally for religious animal sacrifices for good luck and to please the ancestors of the Talensis. With a guide, visitors can scale the rocks up to the Tengzug Shrine, remove their tops and witness the sacrifice of birds and chickens.

In the shrine, among the remnants of the recently sacrificed, visitors get a panoramic view of the region and the surreal world of the Tongo Hills. Giant Baobab trees and boulders define the dry landscape that draws both tourists and religious pilgrims. The Tongo Hills comprise only twenty square kilometers, but are richly packed with history, religious significance, and fantastic hiking.

Along with the many shrines tucked away in the rock formations of the area, the local population has rebuilt a number of classic Talensis homes. Shaped like cylinders and grouped into neighborhoods, the homes have miniature doorways, followed by a short wall inside the home that allows for protection from intruders. Other than the doorway and a few holes for smoke to exit the structure, they are completely closed off to the outside world.

The Tongo Hills give visitors a window into the world of the Talensis, and visitors coming at the right times can experience one of the region’s vibrant festivals. In March, the Talensi celebrate the Golob Festival focusing on the sowing of the fields. With a bit more show to it, the Bo’araam Festival in October and November includes drinking traditional beer and the sacrifice of donkeys, goats, and fowl.

PIKWORO SLAVE CAMP
(The first slave transit point in Ghana)

The Pikworo Slave camp was founded in 1704 and is located in Paga Nania, about 3 kilometers west of Paga in the Upper East Region of Ghana. It was originally developed as a slave transit center where slaves were auctioned and later resold in the Salaga Slave market.

The Pikworo Slave Camp in Paga was created as a holding place for slaves brought down from the north until they were forced to continue their trek 150 km south to the slave market at Salaga and then on to the coast for shipment.

The site featured the trees where the slaves we shackled, where they ate from bowls dug into the rocks, and where they were entertained by drumming on what sounded like hollow rocks. It also featured the slave cemetery and punishment rock. It was depressing to imagine what went on there. It was very sobering.

History has it that Slaves who tried to escape were placed naked on that rock in the sun without food or water as punishment.

Pikworo served as a slave collection outpost by Ghanaian traders who sold slaves to the French, the English, and the Dutch.

An average of 200 slaves were at Pikworo at any given time. These slaves would be housed until it was time to transport them to the Southern Coast for Trans-Atlantic sale.

The journey could take two to three months on foot with no footwear, with slaves being almost naked while traveling through different weather conditions while the slave masters rode on horses.

The camp itself leaves little evidence of its history at first glance but guided by a knowledgeable eye, the past can become more clear.

There are glimpses of wide open field views, but look anywhere and your view is sure to be impeded by a rock formation, or a boulder that looks as though it has paused mid-tumble.

Atop a cluster of boulders, there is a gash in one of the largest stones where the slave masters used to draw water.

Around it, there is a kind of field of manmade scoops in the rock. These scoops are bowls cut out by slaves who tried to escape and were chased down.

What to do;

■See the slave traders watch “tower”

■See the mass grave cemetery

■See the punishment stone where slaves we chained naked in the hot scorching sun.

Black Star, the Jewel of the night,
Black Star, burning bright,
Magnificent sun, a beacon burning,
Black Star, five pointed coal,
Black Star, the cosmic soul,
Shining opaque, celestial furnace,
Glittering dark, a sun in the morning.

Black Star, where light never shines,
Black Star, won’t you be my guide?
A dead sun for where the light never shines,
Shine on,
Twinkle, twinkle Black Star,
Shine on Ghana Black Star.

Nkroful is a village in the Ellembelle District, a district in the Western Region of south Ghana, located near Axim in the Nzema East Municipal of the Western Region.
