The Heritage Caravan, organised by Citi FM and Channel One TV has made an impactful stop at the Armed Forces Museum in Kumasi, shedding light on Ghana’s proud military history.
This annual event takes participants on a journey through various regions of Ghana, immersing them in the nation’s cultural and historical heritage.
During the visit to the museum, participants, known as “Caravanites,” delved into the rich history of Ghana’s military. The museum, located in central Kumasi, boasts an impressive collection of artifacts, including weapons, uniforms, and documents, each telling a story of courage and sacrifice by Ghanaian soldiers.
This experience allowed attendees to gain a profound appreciation for the bravery and valor of Ghana’s military heroes.
The Heritage Caravan aims to go beyond mere historical exploration, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Ghana’s cultural diversity.
The event, a flagship initiative by Citi FM and Channel One TV, promotes domestic tourism and encourages Ghanaians to discover the treasures within their own country. Each year, it attracts a diverse group of participants, eager to uncover the hidden gems of Ghana.
This year’s Caravan, which began on March 2, 2025, and will continue until March 9, 2025, spans 14 of Ghana’s regions. Starting in the Greater Accra Region, the journey includes stops in the Volta Region, Northern Region, Ashanti Region, and many more.
Each destination was carefully selected to highlight the unique culture, cuisine, and attractions of the area. From guided tours and cultural performances to culinary delights and engaging with local communities, the Caravan provides a comprehensive and immersive experience.
The visit to the Armed Forces Museum was just one of many highlights in this year’s Heritage Caravan. Participants also had the opportunity to explore other significant sites, such as the Cape Coast Castle, Mole National Park, and the Manhyia Palace.
These visits offered deeper insights into Ghana’s history and the resilience of its people, while also allowing Caravanites to interact with local communities and appreciate the natural beauty of the country.
The Heritage Caravan is supported by a range of sponsors, including the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), Hollard Insurance, OmniBSIC, Appolonia City, Standard Water, Peeva Beverages, GB Foods, and GOIL PLC, with the Ghana Tourism Authority as a partner.
