What will I be doing on this trip?
Ghana is a peaceful country boasting a variety of architecture, interesting traditions and very hospitable people. The vegetation of Ghana ranges from Evergreen forest to the Savannah grassland which makes the landscape very unique from lowlands to highlands with the highest point being Mountain Afadjato which is 885 metres in the Volta region. Ghana’s landscape is very suitable for both hiking and trekking. This holiday includes a wildlife safari, trekking, hiking, climbing, canoeing, and interacting with the local people.

If your desire is to get away from the stress of living in the cities and to stay within unspoilt woods away from the city noise and lights, then this trip is suited to you.

How does this holiday make a difference?
Local community
Throughout the trip travellers will stay in hotels which are locally owned, aswell as community guesthouses. You will also experience a taste of the community’s local food and how to process shea butter in the Mognori Eco Village.  You will enjoy the daily life activities of the various communities that you will visit. This trip allows visitors to discover this intriguing culture in a sensitive and responsible manner. Travellers or tourists are encouraged to immerse themselves in the culture of the local people through activities such as drumming, dancing, story telling and many more. As travellers live in the community they are given the option to spend money on the local food and local activities therefore providing economic opportunities for the local communities. Money raised during these activities go a long way to support the development of the community.

All guides on this trip are local guides, picked for their excellent indigenous knowledge of the area and high degree of training. We believe that they are in the best possible to tell people the history behind any of the attractions in their communities.

Environment
Before any trip we provide our guests with a cultural and environmental orientation session to know how to conduct themselves in order not to destroy the local culture, flora and fauna species. 'Do not take any flora, take only photographs' and ‘Do not litter but leave only your footprint policy’.  Our guides are trained to explain our guests to keep the environment clean and to encourage this policy during the trip. We educate our clients especially those who visit national parks and other reserves on the need to protect the plants and animals for posterity.
