Ghana Classic Adventure: Cultural Festivals & National Parks
Nestled between Côte d’Ivoire and Togo, Ghana is a vibrant gem of West Africa bursting with culture, history, and natural beauty. From lively cities to rolling green hills, this nine-day adventure takes you deep into the heart of Ghana’s story. In Accra, explore the nation’s path to independence before spotting unique wildlife in the Shai Hills Reserve. Stay in welcoming community guesthouses where you’ll cook traditional dishes, enjoy an outdoor movie night with local families, and take part in a hands-on reforestation project. Then, soak up the energy of the Akwasidae Festival in Kumasi, a celebration of Ashanti heritage like no other. With every step, every meal, and every encounter, you’ll connect with the warmth and spirit that make Ghana truly unforgettable.

Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
