About the trip
This small-group escorted tour by Explore Worldwide opens in Accra, where the curious tradition of 'Fantasy Coffins' and the memorials to Ghana’s independence set the tone. From there, the route traces Ghana’s varied landscapes, from the Volta River’s birdlife to the colonial-era Ashanti region's markets and craft villages.
Further north, Mole National Park offers early morning game drives in search of elephants and other mammals, with a side visit to a sacred monkey sanctuary. The tour then turns south, pausing at waterfalls where a quick swim is encouraged before a stay in Gold Coast coastal villages and beaches. The final days provide rainforest walks, including a canopy walkway at Kakum National Park, and a visit to Cape Coast Castle, a sombre relic of Ghana’s history.
Throughout, the itinerary balances wildlife, culture and history, with ample time for local markets and village life. The pace includes long drives and some early starts, but also moments to relax by the beach or join a traditional drumming session along the coast.
