Your trip to the Gateway of Africa will be like nothing you have experienced before. Ghana is home to European castles and the friendliest people in Africa who will welcome (Akwaaba! welcome in one of the local languages) you with open arms and show you their rich culture, history, colorful festivals, beautiful empty beaches and some of the newest eco-tourism destinations in Africa. Weather you are spending the day on the beach, riding the surf, touring the markets, walking on a foot bridge through the canopy of a rain forest, coming around the bend of a river in a canoe to a village full of children trying to say hi, you will feel the beat of the African drums and spirit in you.
“Ghana has a number of the same draws as the Caribbean, friendly people, beautiful beaches, wonderfully spicy foods, colorful festivals and celebrations. What is great about Ghana in comparison is that it is free of mega resorts and cruise ship tourism.”
Some people will tell you that you go to East Africa for the Wildlife and you go to West Africa for the culture, Ghana will give you the best of both worlds. Our guides are extremely knowledgeable about the areas in which they travel and live; they are fluent in English, potentially French, and a number of local languages. For each trip there will be a cultural host that travels with you to take care of any issues or needs that you may have along with familiarizing you with the culture. Guides will also be providing when traveling to different areas where they live and work so they are more knowledgeable about the area to give you in depth information of their area, tribal culture and language.
Ghana is a country about the size of the state of Oregon. It lies on the prime Meridian about 6 degrees north of the equator along the Gulf of Guinea which is a part of the Atlantic Ocean, which makes for a wonderful tropical climate in the south. The north gives way to savannah type terrain and climate. Ghana is rich with history being the home to a number of indigenous empires before and during colonialism. During colonialism Ghana was known as the Gold Coast, and was a very active member in the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. If history is of interest to you, you can not miss Ghana with chances to experience both African history and Colonial History.
