Excitement is building for the 10th edition of the Heritage Caravan, with participants and sponsors alike expressing high expectations for what promises to be a fun-filled and memorable journey.
Organised by Channel One TV and Citi FM, the eight-day tour is scheduled to run from March 1 to 8, 2026, covering 14 regions across the country. This year, the caravan has been expanded to four buses to mark a decade of the event, increasing both the scale of participation and the range of activities on offer.
Before the caravan set off, sponsors gave participants a warm and generous send-off. Each caravanite received branded souvenirs, including customised T-shirts and a range of products from supporting brands — practical tokens designed to make the journey more comfortable while underscoring the strong spirit of partnership behind the tour.
For many caravanites, the tour represents a long-awaited opportunity to explore parts of Ghana they have yet to visit. Edem Nohoho, for instance, is particularly eager to tour the northern region for the first time.
“I’m expecting to have fun, see a lot of places. I’ve not been to the north before, so I’m going particularly because of the north. I’ve been planning to go on this caravan for the past five, six, seven years but every time something comes up. Thankfully it’s the 10th anniversary, so I hope it will be better than all the others we’ve seen online,” he said.
Faustina Nana Achivo, joining the trip with Mr Achivo, added that participants are looking forward to more than sightseeing, anticipating engaging activities from the organisers.
“We want to see a lot of exciting sights and a lot of how Channel One will entertain us. That is our expectation. We want to enjoy ourselves too,” she stated.
Sponsors are also positioning their brands to engage with participants throughout the journey. Enoch Adu Mensah, Marketing Manager for Addme Groundnut Paste, said the company is aligning with the Ghana Month theme to promote locally made products.
“We’re looking for something exciting. We’re trying to partner with the Made in Ghana, All for Ghana, Everything Ghana idea. We’re bringing on board our product and we’re going to do a very crazy activation on Sunday where we’ll showcase the number of things you can do with groundnut,” he explained.
Entertainment will feature prominently, with the Nyinkyim Band set to play a major role. Seth Kpodo of the band said they are building on last year’s performance and are optimistic about this year’s experience.
“We are improving on what we did last year. We are hoping for a safe trip, safe tour and lots of fun. You work throughout the year and don’t get to experience Ghana that much. This is our opportunity to explore and enjoy Ghana and our heritage. We’re hoping to meet new people and make sure people leave the Heritage Caravan with Nyinkyim in their minds,” he said.
Representing Caveman, Comfort Yaa Boatengma Abbey said the brand intends to use the platform to promote its identity and cultural roots.
“As a brand, we always try to market who we are and what we stand for, making everybody know that we are all cavemen if you draw your roots back to the days of old,” she noted.
The eight-day tour blends cultural discovery, culinary delights, and musical entertainment, giving participants a taste of Ghana’s diversity as it passes through Greater Accra, Eastern, Volta, and other key regions
This year’s caravan is supported by brands such as GOIL, Multi Pro Company, OmniBisc, Didi Shito, Gino Tomato Paste, Nana Rice, Caveman Watches, Hollard Insurance and Peeva Beverages, offering participants a first taste of their latest products, blending cultural celebration with brand engagement.
