Tours within Ghana are an exciting experience. Tours are combined to make a harmonious blend of culture and nature. Some visitors prefer more culture in their tours and some prefer more nature and some just want to relax away from it all.
For culture a festival will be included if it can be worked out into your dates. Our sense of hospitality means you will at least have a taste of a Ghanaian dish and learn some words in one of the Ghanaian languages. There are extra tour options to choose from to enrich your experience like visiting a village or taking African drumming or dancing lessons.
For sights and sounds of nature you will visit a number of waterfalls including Wli Waterfalls, Kintampo Falls, the seasonal Boti Falls. You will also visit Mole National Park and Kakum National Park. All depends on the time you have.
For pure relaxation at the beach a variety of beaches and beach resorts are available for your enjoyment.
Ghana has a rich and varied history; both glorious and sad which you will note from your visits to the museums and castles. You leave the sites of the slave trade fully agreeing with the plaque at Cape Coast Castle that declares ‘may humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. We the living vow to uphold this’.
