Educational Tour of Ghana - 10 Days

I highly recommend Olive Travel and Tours. Our tour guide, “Prince,” was outstanding! We traveled to various historical and ancestral sites across Ghana. His support team at each site provided clear and essential information and facts. Our trip was a remarkable historical, cultural, and art experience! Thank you, Olive Travel and Tours John Obafemi and Yemaya Jones

• Health, Spa & Wellness

Ghana Yoga Tour (Wellness &Health)

Had an amazing time in Ghana! Prince is a great tour guide and gets you to experience as much of the culture as you can while you are there. Would suggest booking days after to just chill and enjoy the country as it’s very active tour and a lot of time spent traveling between activities.

Thrills in Ghana

This tour was a splendid and an Emotional experience. Both castles came with so much Emotional history. Everyone who can should take this tour and also share this beautiful experience.

Seven Days Outdoor Adventure Tour

Zainab and Rashida are the best! They made this tour very enjoyable, fun, interesting and educational. They were always there ready to help with any and everything, and for my first trip to West Africa they made the whole experience worth it! I highly recommend Pro Tours Africa!

• Volunteering

Volunteer in Ghana

Absolutely amazing experience i would recommend it to anyone. The coordinators in the volunteer house and all the people there make you feel so at home and put you at so much ease doing anything they can to help you out. The projects are really insightful, the childcare programme was amazing, the kids at the school are the best. Also, I definitely recommend the weekend trips, they were such a fun part of the experience, i made so many memories. Overall its a really rewarding experience.

The Best of Ghana - 12 Days

I have just returned from a 12 day Best of Ghana Cultural Tour by Continent Tours. I have travelled around the world to over 40 countries and this was far the best trip I’ve taken. It was cultural, educational, historical, inspirational, and overwhelming with much joy which touched my mind, heart & spirit in such a sacred way. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and all due to the expertise of Tina Ross, Continent Tour Manager, the thoroughness of Matina Kuma, our tour guide, and safety of Samwell, our driver. From the moment I contacted Continent Tours, Tina made me feel very at ease that she understood exactly what I wanted in a customized tour. She always exercised professionalism, thoughtfulness, compassion, understanding and a sweet demeanor throughout the 9 month process before our departure. She never gave any hesitation or negativity towards the changes, additions, questions and concerns that I had. Her actions certainly provided me with a comfort and assurance that I was going to have the type of tour that I desired. As the tour date became closer & closer I became more & more excited which was all due to Tina. My tour was all of what I planned and even more than my expectations and was blessed immensely with extra surprises that were included by Continent Tours. To add to this, our tour guide was Matina Kuma, who had an effervescent and loving personality with her heartfelt hugs and sweet radiant smiles from our airport pickup throughout our journey until our airport drop off. She embraced my 3 companions and myself with much care, protection, respect & love as senior women and affectionately referred to us as “Mama”, which gave rise to us truly adopting her as our Ghanian daughter and genuine blessings of being family. She was very kind and generous to ensure our needs where met at all times. She had an amazing and thorough knowledge of all the regions of Ghana, its different languages and cultures which provided us with much education, history and to experience the different people of Ghana in every aspect of life. There was never a concern or fear or doubt that we were truly in safe hands. Samwell, our soft spoken, warmhearted and expert driver was very meticulous in maneuvering some of the undesirable roads to give us the best comfort. I would sincerely and strongly recommend Continent Tours to anyone wishing to visit Ghana and especially for those that desire to learn their ancestry. Do your research, document what you wish to see and experience, number of days first so that Continent Tours can give you the experience of a lifetime that you will greatly appreciate with no regrets and be enthused to share with others as I do. Be sure to request Tina Ross, Matina and Samwell.

What people love about ghana tours.

My experience was quite memorable. I was impressed mostly with the faces of the Ghanian people. Their faces radiate warmth, beauty & humility. I felt at peace being around them. I admire greatly their driving skills and their tolerance for each other. They are adept at sharing the roads & displaying a kind of respect for each other that is admirable whether one is driving, biking or walking. The places I toured were interesting, depressing as well as educational. Ghana is a developing country and I look forward to beholding its improvements in a few years.

Rasheeda, Suwaiba and Ernest our driver were very friendly, knowledgeable and provided us and excellent first trip experience to Ghana!!

Ghana Tours & Travel Guide

Ghana Attractions & Landmarks Guide

Located in the heart of West Africa, Ghana isn't as rich in wildlife as is East Africa or southern Africa, but it provides plenty of opportunities for cultural exploration and ecotourism.

The first country in sub-Saharan Africa to regain its independence from colonial rule, Ghana is a stable democracy with friendly people, historic sites, thriving market towns, sandy beaches, and some wildlife viewing opportunities as well. It's an indispensable stop on any West Africa tour.

Top Stops on a tour of Ghana

Most tours of Ghana will stop in these three major cities:

Accra  is  Ghana’s capital,  which is known for being large and chaotic, but also extremely lively and colorful. The streets are crowded with the bustling humdrum of daily commuters, but also musicians, acrobats, and small shop owners selling their goods.

Some of the main attractions in this city include the  National Museum , which has one the best collections of African art on the planet, the Black Star independence arch, and the Osu Palace.

Elmina is Ghana’s city on the sea -- its architecture a mix of colonial and modern, and its shoe lined with hundreds of  colorful fishing vessels , called pirogues. Despite Elmina’s bright appearance and lively, thriving fish market today, the city did not always look this way.

One of the must-see attractions in Elmina is the Elmina Castle, a UNESCO heritage site, and the first slave holding station in West Africa. As there are no signs in the Castle, it is best seen and experienced on a guided tour, where you can truly understand the significance of the place.

Kumasi, the  ancient capital of the Ashanti Empire , is an important stop on any trip to Ghana. Known was the heart of the Ashanti culture, Kumasi is a great place to see and purchase genuine Ashanti crafts, in no small part because of it boasts the massive  Kejetia market , the largest market in all of West Africa.

When you need to take a breath of air outside of the city, take a drive to visit to Lake Bosomtwe - a lake inside of an ancient crater - which is just outside of the bounds of Kumasi.

The Ashanti Kingdom

Prior to colonialism, the Ashanti Kingdom was a West African state that existed where modern day Ghana currently lies. The state was composed of smaller chiefdoms, and the language spoken was Akan.

The state was formed at the same that Europeans began to visit West Africa, and the Ashanti became an important trading partner of the Portuguese. This allowed them to amass considerable wealth.  Gold  was the kingdom’s primary export in the 1700s, though by the early 1800s, this became slaves.

The Ashanti begant to trade captives for luxury items and firearms, and this led to chaos within the state. Eventually, this weakened the Ashanti empire, and Great Britain was able to annex it.

Today, the Ashanti are a  distinct ethnic group  with a known diaspora in the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica (resulting from the slave trade). As a result, many African Americans and Afro-Caribbean tourists choose to visit Ghana to better connect with their origins and their past. One popular stop on these forms of tours is Elmina Castle, the first trade port in Sub Saharan Africa.

Despite their troubled political past, the Ashanti people have a  rich and vibrant culture , and this also takes center stage on many tour packages to Ghana. This can be explored formally, for example, on a visit to Ghana’s National Museum, or on your guided tour as you guide explains the fascinating Ashanti religion.

Often called the “Gateway to Africa,” Ghana is known for its  traditional craft making , in particular: its textile, brass work, wood carvings and beads. If you travel to the Eastern region of the country, make sure you have the chance to visit one of the country’s infamous mud-and-stick mosques, and hear a song played on the Gyil, the Ghanaian version of a xylophone.

5 Top Beaches in Ghana

Africa travel doesn’t always scream beach getaway, with the majority of travel focused on safaris, wildlife, and the mysterious archaeological sites of Egypt. However, there are several tucked away places along Africa’s coasts with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world: Madagascar, the Seychelles, Cape Town, and of course Ghana.

When you travel to Ghana on a tour, the beach scene is sure to be a stop on your itinerary. A large portion of beaches in Ghana are in close proximity to Accra. Here are some of the top:

1. Bojo Beach - This small beach is attractive for how secluded and quiet it is. Only accessible via canoe over the Densu River, Bojo is great for people who want to get a way for a bit and enjoy a truly relaxing beach getaway.

2. Kokrobite - For some the heavy tourist scene at Kokrobite might be a bit too much, but travelers flock here for the classic rastafarian and reggae culture. If you enjoy a party atmosphere and meeting people from around the world with similar interests, this is the perfect beach for you.

3. Labadi Beach - One of the more touristy beaches in Ghana, Labadi beach can be a bit crowded, but the crowds come for the many activities, food options, entertainment and beautiful ocean views. If you can put up with the less “authentic” feel, Labadi beach is great for a lively beach day or afternoon.

4. Ada Beach - At the estuary of the Volta River, east of Accra, you find Ada beach. With the thatch roof tables and several activities this is a great destination for families seeking a non-touristy beach that still offers nice amenities. The beach is still large enough that the crowds aren’t overbearing. At Ada beach you can go water skiing, yachting, fishing, and even observe endangered marine turtles.

5. Fete - Despite being the closest beach to Accra that is suitable for surfing, Fete beach is far less touristy than some of Ghana’s other beach destinations. Though this may change as travelers begin to discover the historic Fort of Good Hope and explore the local fishing village of Senya Beraku.

Is Ghana Safe?

Today, Ghana is a stable democratic country, though it’s modern history has not been without internal strife. In both the rural areas and cities, travelers are advised not to display items of value.  Pickpocketing  is the most common offense, and women especially should remain aware of their surroundings as purse snatching is also commonplace.

The people in Ghana are very receptive and welcome to tourists. White travelers may notice a heavier insistence on providing papers and identification around the borders, and may also get some curious attention is the less touristy areas. 

Sometimes tourists wonder whether or not  public transportation  is a safe choice. Transportation in Ghana can be unreliable which is one reason going on a tour is advisable, though it is not necessarily unsafe. 

Some general tips are to avoid traveling at night, especially by public transport, and be particularly aware of your surroundings in tourist areas, or establishments frequented by expats -- these places are occasionally targeted for pickpocketing or robbery.
