Ghana Tours in Winter

I really enjoyed my trip around west Africa. It was well organised and the crew were incredibly hard-working. Enjoyed the bumpy roads through Guinea and Sierra Leone, bush camping, Ganvie stilt village, pirogue trips and tricky border crossings

My only previous experience with Dragoman was from 20 years ago when I did 12 weeks in Central and South America. So I knew what to expect, and having then travelled with other overland tours, I can say Dragoman provides the best experience.

While this trip did not have the scenery, antiquities, adventures of other Dragoman trips, it did expose us to a wonderful aspect of human life little witnessed by the rest of the world.

The group expierience was very important to me. This experience was made possible by the overlanding concept of living together, receiving a role and a task by working in the cooking group and caring for the truck. Thats what a group needs to build. I cannot imagine going on a group tour again only sitting around doing nothing.

Good trip, good itinerary. Oscar and Ernest took very good care of us. Interaction with the local people happened often and it was interesting and engaging. Highlights for me were the Akwasidae festival and seeing the Ashanti King. The festival was a great event and a test to the senses, loud, vibrant, energetic…the music, the people, the colors. Other highlights, the Larabanga mosque, stingless bees visit, seeing elephants at Mole and the Picathartes bird. Witnessed a pangolin in captivity at the Nzulezu stilt village. Seeing one caged and in the conditions in which we encountered it was heartbreaking, completely unexpected and unacceptable. Support to this type of community should be eliminated.
