Our Ghana Cultural Tour

Experience the Best of Ghana



Return to West Africa with us as we explore the countries of Ghana.   Africa has so much to offer from its lush forests and wildlife to its rich culture, food, history and people.  There is so much to do and see in Africa.  Each country has its own unique allure and can offer different experiences based on the region and atmosphere.  On this journey we will tour Ghana.

Ghana, once referred to as 'The Gold Coast'; due to the availability of large reserves of gold that were found along the Volta and Ankobra river, is now a growing country with its capital city of Accra offering its visitors opportunities for sightseeing, entertainment, and cultural experiences like no other.
