But a trip to Royal Senchi will not be complete without a visit to the beads making shop in Krobo, another town under Akwamu. A visit to this part Ghana will no doubt leave a pleasant memory for a period of time.

The Senchi and Akosombo are both parts of the historical and very cultural kingdom of Akwamu. The Akwamus are the Abrade (Aduana) Clan of Akan tribe. According to the oral tradition, their forefathers migrated from the north; they went through Egypt and settled in Nubia (Sudan) around 500 AD.

But due to the pressure exerted on Nubia by Axumite kingdom of Ethiopia, Nubia was shattered, and they moved to the west and established small trading kingdoms which later grew and became wealthy and powerful state and by 750 AD, the kingdom had become the ancient Ghana Empire.

The Empire lasted from 750 AD to 1200 AD and collapsed as a result of the introduction of Islam in the Western Sudan, and the zeal of the Muslims to impose their religion, their ancestors left for Kong (present day Ivory Coast). From Kong, they moved to Wam, then to Bono Manso before heading for Dormaa in the present day Brong-Ahafo.
