Why visit Ghana?
An astonishing array of attractions await first-time and seasoned West Africa travellers who make it to Ghana. Varied equatorial African scenery, rare wildlife and exuberant, welcoming people (with their intriguing and multifaceted culture) make this vibrant country well worth exploring.
Our holidays take in many of Ghana's most celebrated highlights. Natural history fans can enjoy canopy walks in the Kakum National Park's tropical rainforest and seeking Upper Guinea rainforest birdlife, abundant butterflies and rare rainforest-dwelling life forms in Ankasa Reserve. Visitors keen to take in the more arid northern region can seek dry-country wildlife in remote Mole National Park.
Ghana's history and culture are a highlight: our experienced, professional guides will be delighted to share with you their country's history while exploring well-known sites such as Elmina Castle, or during an excursion to sites such as Nzulezu Stilt Settlement or the villages and farms around Bonkro, where community-based activities are exemplary. You'll be able to meet traditional folk in remote rural villages; explore colourful markets, take boat trips on the scenic Volta River and just enjoy this relaxed, stable and captivating West African country, which remains free of the trappings associated with more established tourist destinations.
Ghana is an English-speaking country and is easy to travel to, with daily, direct flights from London.
