                                                      How does this holiday make a difference?
                                                      Our trips are designed to allow an economic benefit to local life and the small size of all our groups ensures there is a little impact on both the environment and the communities of the areas we visit.

                                                      Our culinary tours are rewarding holidays, with informal and informative hands-on classes, and an introduction to the Ghanaian nutritious foods.


                                                      Tourists will use locally grown food ingredients to prepare all the food and eat during their stay.

                                                      The drumming and dancing teachers are local people who are chosen due to their high knowledge in local drumming and dancing. As we engage them through tourist visit they will get money and will be able to cater for their families.

                                                      Where is it?
