Ghana is a beautiful country I’ll advise everyone to take a trip there. Their tours are very informative and the tour guide and bus drivers are the best.
Ghana may be small on the map, but its history, culture, and natural beauty pack a serious punch. This eight-day adventure takes you from the coastal enclaves to lush forest reserves, blending powerful history with hands-on experiences. Walk the solemn grounds of Cape Coast Castle, once a departure point for enslaved Africans, and gain a deeper understanding of the country’s past. Then, shift gears and get creative with a Batik-making workshop led by local female artisans. Hike through Kakum National Park’s dense rainforest, soak up stunning coastal views, and meet the farmers of remote Ankasa Village for a taste of everyday life. This journey is a perfect mix of culture, nature, and connection — one that’ll stay with you long after you leave.
