Ghana Tours for Experienced Travelers

A packed and varied itinerary with the extra bonus of seeing the king at the Akwasidae Festival, walking with elephants, visiting a monkey sanctuary and seeing the strange Picathartes bird, meeting local communities and seeing the castles where slaves were held. We had a great trip made possible by our helpful and very knowledgeable driver Prince and guide Oscar.

Oscar Kwarteng, our leader, was responsive to all I needed and went the extra mile to point out things of interest to make my holiday one I will remember for a long while. It was well worth the money.

I had a truly wonderful experience in Ghana, and the activities were both engaging and enjoyable. I made new friends and gained valuable life skills throughout the trip. Oscar, our tour guide, did an excellent job, and the driver was also very professional and reliable. Although some of the roads were under construction, it did not take away from the overall experience. It was a fantastic and memorable journey.

I think the stilted village could be dropped. Maybe another night on the coast. A lot of us had been to Benin where the stilted village is awesome. Went on the 13 Dec departure. I think Xmas day masquerade could be built into itinerary and also a visit to a church-there are enough of them!

A lot of travelling but always breaks planned in. Worth it to stay three nights in Mole National Park. So much variation with seeing the King of the Ashanti and the people there - so much colour with beautiful Kenti cloth robes and traditional music instruments. We visited weavers and craft workshops and were appalled at the conditions that slaves endured in the coastal castles. I did feel that 16 was too many for the bus and one night we were unable to stay in the planned hotel as they did not have enough free rooms.

Best of Ghana was a very interesting trip. Lots to see and do, it’s a “full on” experience. Our guide, Oscar, was knowledgeable and patient. The tour wasn’t a 5 star luxury / perfect tour, but I would absolutely recommend it.
