The main attraction of the day was the Zangbetor dance in the Republic of Benin.
Zangbetor is a traditional voodoo guardian of the night among the Ogun (Egun) in Togo, Benin and Nigeria.
The Zangbetor cult is charged with the maintenance of law and order and ensures safety and security within Ogun communities.
In recent times, the dance is more for entertainment purposes. (A good cultural tourism experience)

*TORGAG is an association of professional, well trained seasoned and experienced tour guides who deliver well researched and cross checked facts.*
*That is why TORGAG insists on every guide within its fold going through a systematic, well planned training programme and mentorship.*

The PROFESSIONAL GUIDES have done it again.
A FAM-TOUR TO THE VOLTA REGION
The Tour Guides Association Of Ghana (TORGAG) which is a body of professionally trained and seasoned Tour Guides have embarked on a familiarization tour to parts of the Volta region.
This is part of the regular trips this body of professionals undertake to sharpen their guiding skills and knowledge of the route.
The current tour took them to the Kwame Akoto's Spiritual Art Studio at Ada, the Vume Pottery Town, audience with the Anlo Chiefs and Elders.
The next day was an exploration of the Amedzofe township with visits to the Ote falls/walkway and Mount Gemi. Also, the Avatime enclave and Tafi Monkey Sanctuary.
The Fam-Tour ended at Kpando Torkor. It was a most successful tour undertaken by the Guiding Professionals.
Kudos to the executive and all the participants. Join us on our next Fam-tour.
