One of them, Chris Awadzi, summarized his reason for joining the trip in these few words, \u201cI want to celebrate my wife\u2019s 50th<\/sup> birthday outside Ghana. That is why I joined this trip. I know it is going to be marvelous and excellent because the crew behind it is wow\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

His wife, Evelyn Awadzi, who received the news with surprise, also told Citi News<\/strong>, \u201cI didn\u2019t know I will be travelling. This is a surprise and I thank God\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another birthday celebrant, Helen Obeng-Okon, could not hide her excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband thought it will be a nice way to celebrate my birthday. I have been to South Africa before, but looking at the itinerary of this trip, it\u2019s going to be a pleasant one and I just cannot wait to get there. I have worked the whole year and I think I deserve some rest. I am just going to have fun\u201d.<\/p>\n

For others, their first visit to the Rainbow Nation cannot be without thrill.<\/p>\n

Patience Lanki Tetteh, a fashion designer who will be visiting South Africa for the first time told Citi News<\/strong> \u201cI have heard South Africa is a nice place and I have been yearning to be a part of this\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Evelyn Lomotey who has been \u201cdreaming\u201d of visiting South Africa \u201cfor a long time\u201d, the Robben Island Experience is all she has been waiting for. \u201cSo when I heard about the trip, I said wow!!! I have to be there myself, to witness it and tell others\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited to be part of this trip. I just want to experience it. I have never been to South Africa before and I am looking forward to it\u201d another participant, Silvia Sai told Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
