The Ghana Experience

Accra + Cape Coast

There aren’t very many places in the world where beaches meet the city, the nightlife DJ plays from his iPhone, and you can pay homage to your ancestors at Castles on the coast where it all began. 

Join us on our 8-day exploration in Ghana exploring Accra, Cape Coast, and Volta.  We will experience the country’s culture on a deeper level than the limited narrative you’ve been told. You can’t call yourself woke until you have experienced our ancestral home for yourself.

Love the trip but not the dates?

Go now or later with private trip planning, here's your trip at a glance..

WHERE YOU'LL GO

From soaking up the vibes of Accra on arrival at one of the best rooftops with our personal Chef, this trip offers a wide range of cultural immersion opportunities as you visit the Cape Coast castles to learn about our ancestors who were traded centuries ago. You will be able to check must-see sites like the W.E.B DuBois estate, the colorful markets where you can pick tailor-made fabrics, Cape Coast castles, and Ghana’s riviera while cruising down the Volta.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

This trip is your chance to get back to your roots as you dive deep into a cultural connection unlike any other. From an intimate naming ceremony in the castles on Cape Coast that ends with a drumming ceremony at the beach, and enjoying the nightlife and foodie scene, you will experience the most delicious delicacies and culture in West Africa.

WHERE YOU'LL STAY

Our accommodations are modest at one of the nicest hotels in Accra. Start your day with an over-the-top breakfast buffet, and after a long day connecting to your roots, finding the best deals in the market, or soaking in the sites, end the day on the amazing rooftop area with the best culinary experience in Ghana. Only the best for Lifers!

Explore the day-by-day itinerary.

THIS TRIP IS FOR YOU, IF:

• You want to connect to your roots
• You enjoy history and cultural experiences
• You're a sucker for great food and wine

THIS TRIP IS NOT FOR YOU, IF:

• You are over learning about the Slave Trade
• You'd rather stay put than explore
• High thread counts aren't your thing.

Arrive in the country’s capital, Accra (ACC). Ghana, a nation on West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, is known for its diverse wildlife, old forts, and secluded beaches, such as Busua. 

Coastal towns Elmina and Cape Coast contain posubans (native shrines), colonial buildings, and castles-turned-museums that serve as a testimony of the slave trade. North of Cape Coast, the vast Kakum National Park has a treetop canopy walkway over the rainforest. 

After getting settled, opt in for an optional Tailor Experience to get your outfits for the rest of the week. Let’s break the ‘Gram with those Insta-worthy moments!|

At night, we’ll head to one of Accra’s most prestigious addresses for a Chef curated dinner in one of the highest buildings in the city.

Enjoy a fabulous breakfast before joining an emotional naming ceremony. In the naming ceremony, you will be given your Ghanaian name in a traditional recognition ceremony. 

At noon we’ll have a traditional lunch before visiting the historical museum & guest house at the former estate of writer & civil rights leader, W.E.B. DuBois. 

The Centre is located on immaculate grounds of serene beauty, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis Accra, which surrounds it near the city’s Center. The Center is a complex of four significant buildings, including the home where Dr. DuBois spent his last years, an Administrative building, the Marcus Garvey Guest House, and the tomb of Dr. DuBois and his dear wife, Shirley Graham DuBois.

Enjoy your free evening in the gorgeous city at your own pace.

As the golden rays of the sun grace the coast, you find yourself at a luxurious beach club in the heart of Accra, Ghana. It’s a retreat where the day’s rhythm is dictated by the gentle ebb and flow of the tide.

Your morning begins with a serene swim in the expansive infinity pool that kisses the Atlantic’s edge, blurring the line between man-made and natural splendor. Comfort finds form in the plush daybeds scattered along the water, perfect for basking in the sun or enjoying a novel as you sip on cocktails that blend local spices with premium spirits.

As the day transitions into evening, the air fills with the tantalizing scent of grilled catch-of-the-day and rich, spicy stews, a testament to the region’s bountiful produce and rich culinary heritage. Here, every experience is an invitation to savor the slow, joyful passing of time under the warm embrace of the Ghanaian sunshine.

Today, we journey to Cape Coast to visit Elmina and the Cape Coast castles.

These fortresses were the last memory many enslaved people had of their homeland before being shipped across the Atlantic. 

Over a thousand years ago dozens of castles and forts were built along the coastline of Ghana. Here we will visit the “Door of No Return”, referring to the door the enslaved people exited from their homeland, never to be seen again. 

Our evening continues with a lively beachside BBQ over a bonfire with music.

Today we’ll enjoy a late lunch with an array of vibrant dishes that echo the city’s spirit. As the heat of the day wanes, step into the bustling energy of Makola Market. This is where Accra’s heart beats, amidst the calls of vendors, the vivid hues of textiles, and the earthy scent of spices and cocoa. Navigate through stalls brimming with local produce and handmade crafts, a real-time canvas of Ghanaian commerce and culture.

The journey continues at the Arts Centre, a haven for art aficionados and curious travelers alike. Here, the craftsmanship of Ghana is on full display: intricately woven kente cloth, hand-carved masks, and a plethora of artifacts that tell stories of a rich cultural heritage. Engage with local artists, each stall and piece offering a chance to take a piece of Ghanaian soul back home.

Shopping in Accra is not merely a transaction; it’s an exchange of smiles, stories, and a shared appreciation for the artistry that is the lifeblood of the city.

Indulge in an optional tour that leads you away from the hustle of Accra to the tranquil embrace of nature at Boti Waterfalls and the city’s botanical garden.

As you step into the cool haven of the forest, let the symphony of Boti’s cascading waters enchant your senses, inviting you to unwind in its misty splendor.

Afterward, wander through the botanical garden, a lush repository of Ghana’s botanical wonders, where shaded paths unfurl into a tapestry of greenery, vibrant blooms, and the quiet company of fluttering butterflies.

This side excursion offers a peaceful interlude to your Ghanaian adventure, presenting the perfect opportunity to connect with the country’s rich natural tapestry at your own pace.

Spend the morning delving into the decadent world of chocolate with a hands-on chocolate-making class. You’ll explore the journey from bean to bar, using Ghana’s renowned cocoa to create your own sweet confections. As the rich aromas of chocolate fill the air, you’ll learn about the importance of cocoa to Ghana’s economy and culture.

Following this indulgent experience, you’ll transition from sweet to savory with a cooking class curated by a culinary expert, who once crafted dishes for the nation’s president. In this intimate setting, you’ll sip on fine wine, the clink of glasses harmonizing with laughter and the sizzle of spices.

Under the chef’s guidance, you’ll learn the secrets of making the perfect jollof rice, a staple that’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. With each stir of the pot, you’ll become more attuned to the rhythms of Ghanaian cooking, concluding your day with a meal that’s a tapestry of the flavors that make Accra’s cuisine unforgettable.

Rise and shine for your last morning in Accra, enjoying a quiet morning by the pool to reflect on a fantastic week. 

If you got some spare time and you are not done with your retail therapy, we’ll 

Your Up in the Air Life private driver will then whisk you away to the airport (ACC) for your flight back home, where you are certain to return a different person.

Best time to visit ghana.

Ghana is hot and humid all-year round, with the temperature usually around 86 degrees Fahrenheit - the perfect, tropical climate to hit the beach. The most comfortable time for traveling is during the dry season from November to March, when less rain is present. April to October is the wet season with the amount of rainfall varying throughout the country.

Geography and environment

Located in West Africa and bordered by   Burkina Faso ,   Togo , Cote d'Ivoire and the Atlantic Ocean, Ghana has a vast array of different terrain. From savanna and woodlands in the far north to steamy rainforests, palm-studded beaches and lagoons, modern cities and tiny villages, traveling through Ghana reveals a cavalcade of topographic change. Lake Volta and Lake Bosumtwi act as important sources of water for farmers, with many rivers, tributaries and channels carrying the water throughout the country. Furthermore, Lake Volta's Akosombo Dam generates large amounts of hydroelectricity for Ghana and neighboring countries.

Street food favorites of Ghana

This Ghanaian staple can be found all over the country and isn't only a food but also an eating utensil too. Consisting of pounded cassava or yam, mixed with mashed plantain, fufu is rolled up into a ball and used to scoop up soup or stew, then eaten - a tasty multi-tasker!

2. Jollof rice

Thought to have been created in Gambia, this big pot of seasoned rice is one of Ghana's most flavorsome dishes. White rice is cooked in coconut oil and stock with tomato paste, sale, spices and chilli to create a spicy, hearty, dish perfect for backpackers on a budget.

3. Kelewele

This dish of fried plantains spiced with cayenne pepper, chilli powder, nutmeg, cloves and salt is a popular snack food sold by street vendors and market stalls. Choose to eat alone as a snack or served with stews or rice.

This staple dish popular throughout West Africa is made by fermenting ground maize, then cooking in banana leaves or foil. Kenkey can be served alongside hot sauce, gravy and/or fish.

5. Kyinkyinga

With beef representing a luxury to many in Ghana, this West Africa version of the kebab is a true street food delicacy. Featuring seasoned meat (usually beef), onions, peanuts, capsicum, tomatoes, garlic and chilli served with rice, salad or bread, this is a tasty meal full of flavor.

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.

History, Tradition, Culture

How We Got Started

Africa Ghana Tours all started from a conversation the owner had with his Uncle about the misconceptions some Ghanaians had toward black Americans in the diaspora.  His uncle was the 1st to enlighten him that it was some of us who actually handed our own people over to slave owners to trade for personal profit. We realizing the important thing now is to create change. We now embrace that our extended family have remembered their culture and are able to visit and even relocate back to the motherland. Africa Your Home Awaits You!!  This is An Unbeatable Value!

AGT takes pride in helping Americans visit, tour and relocate to Ghana.  Initially, I the CEO, Harrison Nuworza Dorfiah began guiding tours from the US, France, and Canada to Ghana personally. Since  business has expanded we now assign private tour guides or destination specialist to all travelers. A bio and pic of each guide can be found within the “Meet Our Staff” page.

Ghana Vacations, Tours and Trips

Our Ghana Vacations and Tours

Ghana has largely flown under the radar for North American tourists. This is partially due to its geographic location next to Ivory Coast, Togo, and Burkina Faso in West Africa. But its relative obscurity ought to change. It’s one of the most stable democracies on the continent and has a fascinating blend of attractive beaches, historically-rich cities, and verdant jungles. There is a wealth of history to discover across the nation, from the coastal forts that were central to the slave trade to cities that uncover stories of Ghana’s independence from European colonial control—it was the first sub-Saharan Black African nation to achieve independence. The geography is split between the coast and the inland. On the coast, beaches and trading ports abound, offering a lively environment with great seafood and colourful markets. Inland, the landscape completely changes to one of a thick forest full of beloved animals. It’s relatively easy to get around the country and the people are friendly and generous, making it a good place to make friends.

What is there to do in Ghana?

The capital Accra lies on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. It’s hot, hectic, and a bit overwhelming for people used to laid-back coastal locations, but it also has the best food and drink in the country, as well as abundant shopping options. And let’s not forget the gorgeous beaches, chief among them the famous sands of Labadi. If you aren’t daunted by busyness, you’ll find plenty to like in the capital.

One of Ghana’s other commercial centres, Kumasi is most fascinating as the former capital of the Ashanti Kingdom, which ruled the region a few centuries ago. Massive Kejetia Market is the heart of the city, where music is always playing and you’ll find all manner of goods for sale.

Cape Coast and Elmina

Cape Coast and Elmina along the gulf are known for their historic slave trade castles and Portuguese forts. The Cape Coast Castle is a whitewashed fortification that used to be one of the key slave-trading sites in the world. It’s a place to learn about the dire history of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Elmina is a more picturesque spot. St George’s Castle is another historic landmark with ties to the terrifying slave trade, but the town itself is a lovely spot with old colonial homes, salty air, and a colourful fish market.

• Mole National Park

Mole National Park is possibly the best game reserve in the country. Located in the country’s northwest, the park has over 300 species of birds and around 100 species of mammals, most notably elephants, baboons, and warthogs. If you visit between December and April, you’ll have a good chance of getting up close with the elephants. Best of all: the safari prices are a fraction of those in East and Southern Africa. You won’t find a more affordable safari on the continent.

Kakum National Park

Unlike Mole, Kakum is better known for its jungle canopy, where hundreds of species of birds and butterflies live. Most wildlife excursions here take travellers along the canopy walkways to spot the animals in the early morning or late afternoon. Unfortunately, sometimes the large tour groups can make it hard to spot the animals. The park makes for a good day trip from the coast, so it’s easy to pair with visits to Cape Coast and Elmina.

When is the best time to visit Ghana?

Like much of West Africa, Ghana has two rainy seasons. The long rains are from April to June, making it hard to travel through the parks. November through March is the dry season and the best time to visit, with warm temperatures along the coast and plenty of wildlife viewing in the parks.

18 things to know before traveling to Ghana

Mar 7, 2024 • 7 min read

Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning for more, here's what you need to know to prepare for your trip to Ghana © Houssam Ghandour / Getty Images

Travelers have plenty to look forward to on their trip to culturally rich Ghana .

Welcoming Ghana is considered one of the friendliest spots in West Africa, and with its compelling history, vibrant clothing prints and flavorful dishes , tourists keep coming back for more.

Life in Ghana generally moves at a slow, relaxed pace, but it can also be chaotic and fast in different settings. Embrace the cultural differences, mass traffic and intense bargaining, and you may fall in love with the place. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning once again, here's what you need to know to prepare for your trip to Ghana.

1. Gather the necessary documents for entry

Getting the paperwork together to visit Ghana is a process on its own and can be pricey. All visitors to Ghana must have a valid visa , and they range in cost depending on whether you apply for a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. Your visa for Ghana can take nearly three weeks to arrive unless you shell out extra for an expedited service.

A yellow fever vaccine is also required for entry into Ghana. Check with your local health department or medical clinics to get vaccinated. Malaria pills are also strongly recommended for visitors and can be prescribed by your doctor. If you can't get your hands on them before coming, pharmacies in Ghana have plenty in stock, and they tend to be a lot cheaper.

2. Carry a copy of your passport

If you plan to visit different cities outside of Accra , be sure to print a copy of your passport to keep in your bag as you travel around the country. Police stops are common, and officers are known to ask for passport information.

3. Forget you have a left hand

In Ghana, actions like eating, waving and handing an item to someone are to be done with your right hand only (sorry, left-handers!). From an early age, many Ghanaians are taught that their left hand is to be used for cleaning themselves in the bathroom. Therefore, your left hand is considered filthy and should not be used for eating and other activities. Using your left hand for gestures and main tasks is considered highly disrespectful.

4. Eating with your hands is a cultural practice

Soup-based meals are paired with a starch staple food like fufu or banku and eaten with your hands (remember the right-hand rule!). Be observant of how those around you are eating, embrace the culture and dig in.

5. Keep your thumbs down 

While the thumbs-up gesture in many places signifies approval, in Ghana, it shows disrespect. 

6. Always greet others 

Greetings in Ghana are a big deal, and it’s considered rude to not greet others. When you enter a room, you should say hello, good morning, good afternoon or good evening. When you meet a group of adults and greet them with a handshake, start with the person on the farthest right. 

7. Respect your elders

Respect for elders is immense in Ghana. You should not greet elders with a hat on your head. If you are wearing a hat, take it off completely or lift it halfway while extending your greeting. Give up your seat on the bus for those older than you. Crossing your legs and having your hands in your pockets in the presence of elders are gestures that are frowned upon. 

8. Be mindful of clothing cultures from city to city

Ghanaian clothing culture tends to lean more towards the conservative side. Accra is more relaxed, and you’re likely to see more shorts and crop tops. However, people elsewhere tend to cover up, so bring clothing that covers your chest and shoulders and reaches or goes past your knees.

9. Learn common phrases in Twi and other languages 

Ghana is home to many different languages and ethnic groups. Twi, Ewe, Ga and Krobo are a few of many languages spoken depending on the region. English is widely spoken, but it's important to remember that not everyone speaks it, especially once you are out of Accra and into rural parts of Ghana. Learning a few phrases in the local language is always appreciated and embraced by Ghanaians.

10. Watch your belongings

Pickpocketing and instances of petty theft might be the biggest concern you'll have in Ghana. Pickpocketing can be prevalent in crowded areas like Osu, Madina and Makola Market. Always keep your bag in front of you and away from the roadside to avoid snatching incidents. Don't carry a large amount of cash on you.

Your phone should always be in sight and accounted for. Motorcyclists in Accra are known to snatch phones out of the hands of people as they are passing by both in cars and when walking. It is wise to never stick your phone out of a car window for pictures and videos.

11. Expect the police to stop you

Police stops in Ghana occur frequently, mainly at night but they can happen throughout the day. Your vehicle can be randomly searched by officers, and they may ask for ID and search your bag. These searches usually last for about five minutes, and it is best to comply. 

Bribery is common in Ghana, and you may be asked to "dash" officers, which means tip. You can choose to give it or not as it's often only C10 to C20 (US$0.95 to US$1.90), but it may make the difference between a five-minute stop and a 40-minute one.

Police encounters in Ghana are generally nothing to worry about. Officers may have a “tough guy” attitude, but as you talk to them more, the guard comes down and they are usually friendly. 

12. Be wary of swift romantic encounters

It’s easy to meet new people in Ghana, and conversations are always flowing. People are open to new connections and tend to get close quickly at times, but be careful of fast-moving romantic approaches and those who immediately ask for favors or money. Scams are common in Ghana and can occur in romantic encounters.

13. Be sure to carry cash

When you’re in Ghana, always have some cash on you, or you may find yourself stuck. Not every establishment accepts card payments, and if they do, the POS systems are often down. ATMs are everywhere in Ghana, so getting cash is easy. You can still bring both credit and debit cards, but be prepared that not everywhere in Ghana will accept them.

Forex Bureau exchange shops will change your cash to Ghanaian cedis. Large denomination bills (100s) will get you a higher exchange rate.

14. Avoid drinking the water 

Drinking tap water in Ghana is not a good idea because there’s no guarantee that the water has gone through the proper measures to ensure it is safe. Boil your water or use a water filter before you drink it.

15. Expect weak wi-fi in most areas

Ask your accommodation about wi-fi speeds before your arrival if you plan to use it. Even if internet speeds aren’t the best where you’re staying, you can find reliable spots such as Vida e Caffè and Basecamp Initiative .  

16. Use cash for Uber and Bolt

Download Uber and Bolt before you arrive. While paying by card is an option on both apps, don’t plan on using it. Many drivers prefer cash and will cancel your ride if they find out you are paying using your card, or it could be an issue once you arrive at your destination. You can always ask the driver to stop at an ATM before the final drop-off point. 

17. Get a local phone number

Ghana is a place where verbal conversations are preferred over texting and online communication. You can get a local SIM card at Vodafone , a phone carrier at A&C Mall in Accra, so that you have a Ghanaian number. Drivers often call their passengers to find out exactly where they are.

18. Never underestimate Accra traffic 

Accra traffic is nothing to be played with. You may see an attraction that you want to check out that is only 15 minutes away from your accommodations but it might take an hour and a half simply because of the volume of traffic. It's best not to set reservations for a place if you don't have to. While traffic and delays can be extremely frustrating, you’ll have to learn to go with the flow.

We Offset Your Trips Carbon Footprint

We plant 3 indigenous forest tree species for every guest that travels with us..

The main aim for this project is carbon offsetting – guests choosing to travel with us would offset their flights to/from Ghana by more than 15 times if the trees live to their expected lifespan. This is based on projected carbon dioxide generated on a return flight for the average guest (approximately 900kg/1980 lbs). The average tropical tree can absorb approximately 48lbs of carbon per year (when mature) and in Ghana it takes 30-50 years for a tropical tree species to grow to maturity, with an average life expectancy of 200-300 years. If the trees we plant for each guest are continued to be protected, then we are confident that we will be making a big difference in carbon offsetting: 3 trees planted would each absorb approximately 10,080 lbs of carbon, totalling 30,240 lbs/13,745 kg for all 3 trees (per guest).

For more information on sustainability and environmental stewardship

Booking a tour with us makes you an important part of our positive impact conservation projects, having the option to visit the rainforests and communities your trip helps protect is a special moment for many of our participants

Newly Elected Senegalese President Visits Ghana

S enegalese President, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, last Friday paid a working visit to Ghana as part of his "friendship and working" tour of some countries in the West Africa region, including Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire.

At a meeting at the Jubilee House in Accra, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo told the Senegalese President that his election as President is a source of reassurance for all who are interested in the democratic future of Senegal.

"At one time, Senegal's reputation as a country committed to the principles of democratic accountability and respect for human rights law was being jeopardised. But fortunately, good sense prevailed," the Ghanaian President stated.

Accompanied by his Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affairs and Security and high-profile government, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's visit, according to President Akufo-Addo, is historic and refreshing for the two countries to elevate their bond of friendship to a higher level.

Even though President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's visit to Ghana was brief, President Akufo-Addo was impressed and encouraged by the gesture and added that, "As you're aware I went for his inauguration because of the history between our two countries and also because his election was a source of reassurance to those of us who believe in the democratic future of our region and continent."

For some time, Senegal's reputation as a country committed to the principles of democratic accountability, respect for human rights and the rule of law was in ruins. "However, good sense prevailed, elections were held and Bassior Faye emerged as the clear convincing winner of the election."

President Akufo-Addo said President Faye's ascendancy to the presidency had brought peace and unity to his country and the West African region.

He hoped that Senegal would play a very important role in the development of the ECOWAS.

"We are lucky in having a new leader in Senegal and he is going to help us to try and resolve the big problem that we have in the ECOWAS community, and that is the purported departure of three of the key figures, key nations...that is Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali," he said.

President Akufo-Addo expressed optimism that President Faye would commit to reviving the dialogue that would enable ECOWAS to extend a hand of brotherhood and friendship to those members who had exited.

"It is historically very important set of measures to be taken to let it happen," President Akufo-Addo said, adding: "The election of President Faye has rekindled hope for the youth especially in Ghana and all of them now want to be president."
