…guided by Dr. Shabaka…[w]e had an amazing time…our sojourn to Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Axum, Bahar Dar, Gondar, Lalibela, Lake Tana and Adwa)…memorable stops at rock…churches of Lalibela, The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion (home of the Ark of the Covenant) and Great Stelae Park of Axum, The Blue Nile Falls, Site of the Battle of Adwa (where the Ethiopian Army defeated the Italian Army in 1896), the ancient castles of Gondar and the tombs of Emperor Haile Selassie and his Empress Menen Asfaw. It was an honor to witness Ethiopia as it was celebrating Easter, one of their holiest holidays. The Ethiopian people are wonderful, gracious and welcoming. Ethiopia was breath taking …Dr. Shabaka and Pyramid Productions helped me to fulfill one of my “dream trips” I highly recommend traveling with Dr. Shabaka and Pyramid Productions.
In the past decade I have taken several trips with Pyramid Productions. Each trip has provided me with an extremely rewarding experience. Pyramid Productions provides the highest standard of accommodations. Close attention is given to educating the traveler on the journey. Most trips include inter- action with the culture and environment. PP offers memories of a lifetime that reach far beyond expectations.
I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have visited Africa with Pyramid Productions (PP)…I arrived not knowing what to expect and departed 10 days later after a fabulous trip with feelings – too many to express in words. Experiencing a people so rich in their culture and traditions, so proud in spite of their meager living conditions, the motherland where my history all began, brought me to the realization I have so much to be grateful for. A trip to the Motherland with PP will leave you educated, enlightened and eager to see much more of this great continent!
I am a very experienced traveler, with annual trips to different African Nations. I was fortunate to attend two tours with Pyramid Tours under the leadership of Dr. Segun Shabaka. I went on an awesome East African tour to Tanzania and Zanzibar with a stopover in Ethiopia. It was a well planned trip with lots of activities cultural, historical and fun and Dr. Shabaka was a very attentive tour Coordinator. We did a safari in Tanzania and attended the African music festival on beautiful Zanzibar Island. I also went on a [northern] tour to Ethiopia with Dr. Shabaka were we visited many historical and cultural sites. I highly recommend Pyramid Tours, great prices, tours and services.
Pyramid Productions assembles groups of like-minded people to enjoy – and learn firsthand in safe settings about history, culture and art in the various communities… Breakfast on the shores of the Indian Ocean…classy hotels in…days of ‘African Music Under African Skies’… I highly recommend PP for your travel experience.
I have absolutely fond memories only of traveling with Pyramid Productions…
Istanbul, Zanzibar & the Sauti za Busara Music Festival, Santiago & Havana…experiencing art colonies, history, the medical system and the Havana Jazz Festival. If you want to experience, learn, soak up the various cultures, go with Pyramid. I’m looking forward to my next Pyramid experience…to the Motherland & beyond.
My Havana Jazz Festival trip to Cuba with Dr. Segun Shabaka left no stone unturned. Like the flier said “a once in a lifetime opportunity”. I was so impressed with the amount of attention we received and every detail addressed.
History, music, art, dance, shopping, performances & museums just to name a few spots…Brother Segun keep up with you to assist with navigating travel from the U.S. to Cuba. Medical insurance & visas were included as a part of the package, so no hassling with that. Food…amazing…an Afro Latina tour guide, she took us off the beaten path and to places only natives would know. As a world traveler, I highly recommend Pyramid trips to anyone… Oh yeah…Breakfast at top hotels then tour, lunch, shopping, dinner, night life.
Traveling with Pyramid Production Tours was one of my most memorable trips to the continent of Africa! Through Dr. Segun Shabaka’s long established relationships with the wonderful people of Senegal and Gambia, we were welcomed and treated as returning family in the cities, towns and villages. The rich history and culture that they so generously shared with our group still resonates with me many years later.
If you are considering traveling with Dr. Segun Shabaka, you will be not be disappointed. I have traveled to Ghana, Senegal, Morocco, Kenya and Brazil. Trips are culturally enriched with good shopping.
Memories that will stay with me forever: Goree Island (enslaved dungeons), brought me to tears, ’The Door of No Return’; Alex Hailey’s Roots Village, where we met the Chief of that village; I enjoyed the visit to the schools where the children sang! This trip was several years ago but so much I remember like yesterday.
I have traveled on several trips with Dr. Shabaka & Pyramid Productions…to Africa and the Caribbean…some of my best trips…filled with teaching, learning, emotional experiences.
I have been on two [of]…Pyramid Productions’ West African trips…they exceeded my expectations…they were fun and educational…both trips were different and enjoyable. If you are looking to immerse yourself in a different culture, experience amazing music and delicious food then go with Pyramid.
Africa is…beautiful…What…exciting experience[s]
