Let us help you plan an adventure in West Africa. Our customized tours, including a personal African guide, will fit your specifications nicely at an affordable price. This sample tour begins in Cote d’Ivoire at a modest hotel in the center of Grand Bassam where Africans, not tourists, live.
For the first four days you will explore the amazingly rich culture of Cote d’Ivoire with your African guide while using this hotel as your home base. Ghana will be the next part of your West African Adventure with a stop at the Elmina Slave Castle en route to Kumasi and the Ashanti influenced culture there. You will travel south to the capital, Accra, the largest city in Ghana. After Accra you will return to Grand Bassam for the last days of your never to be forgotten African experience. This tour could be modified to suit your individual interests and expectations. Get in touch as soon as possible to start the exciting planning part of your adventure.
