About Us
We are a UK registered company with offices in both Ghana and the UK. Our main base of operation is in Ghana, which is where we live and work for the majority of the year.
For all our tours and activities, we are the ground agents, this means that our clients deal with us personally in Ghana, unlike many other tour companies, we do not book you from overseas and then expect you to deal with local agents when you arrive in Ghana. We feel being based in Ghana is a major advantage to our clients. Our team consists of a mixture of Westerners and Ghanaians, which should give a diverse combination of knowledge and experience.
We know everything Ghana has to offer, and how best to deliver this to you. Our tours offer different experiences from Birdwatching, Wildlife, Cultural and History. All our guides have expert knowledge in those areas and are there to ensure your trip is a magical one. We are committed to responsible tourism and are passionate about the conservation and protection of Ghana and Burkina Faso‘s wildlife, Culture and Historical monuments.
We are also very committed to giving something back to Ghana’s poorest communities. This is why we are currently trying to improve school facilities in a village outside of Kumasi, Ghana’s second largest city.
