Excellent 9-day Birding Tour Two of us just returned from an outstanding 9-day birding and nature tour with Ashanti African Tours. Everything about the tour was well planned and executed, and we enjoyed experiencing the country, even though we only saw the southern part of it. Communications were thorough and helpful from the planning stage, to getting visas and needed gear. Once on the tour, we were very well cared for. Paul Mensah was an exceptional guide, knowledgeable, adaptable, with a great sense of humor and the ability to read the needs of us as travelers. His knowledge of the birds and other wildlife was excellent and we also appreciated his depth of knowledge about history, culture and “local flavor.” Richard as a driver was fantastic—safe, super-friendly, quick to laugh and he served us well as he made his way through the challenging driving conditions. We were very impressed with Ashanti's effort to develop lodging and dining at the Ankasa Forest Reserve and the Picathartes Guest House at Bonkro. The facilities and staff at both places were great and greatly appreciated by us. We were pleased with the choice of food for each meal at Ankasa, and each meal was excellent (but too much food!). The rapport and local support developed and ongoing with the community at Bonkro is a model for how conservation of habitat and species should work--finding out and satisfying the needs of the local community (in this case, building a school), involving the community in the long-term sustainability of the site and bringing economic benefits directly to the community. Congratulations on doing that very well.

Private 7 Day Cultural Tour and Enstoolment Our experience with Ashanti African Tours was absolutely wonderful. Our group of 39 did a private 7 day tour that encompassed Kumasi, Cape Coast, Adanwomase (Kente weaving village), Accra, and parts of the Eastern region (Koforidua, Kukurantumi, Ettokrom) for (my) enstoolment and reception at the Dwumana Palace in Kukurantumi. Rosematilda, Oscar, Alex, and the rest of the Ashanti African Tour company were amazing to work with - so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Despite having that large of a group, they were still able to accommodate all of our food restrictions, transportation adjustments, etc. The ages of our group ranged from 2 to 72 -families, singles, teens/young adults, etc., Most of the group had not been to Ghana before, but felt at home immediately. The experience was powerful and transformative for all.

You have no reason not to go! Our family of four did a private 10-day tour with activities throughout southern Ghana and lodging in Accra, Wli, Akosombo, Kumasi, and Cape Coast. We did historic tours, cultural activities, national parks, engaged with wildlife, and even got a couple of days on the beach. Our tour included lodging, meals, bottled water, entrance to national parks and other attractions, tips for guides, transportation, and so much more. We had a dedicated driver and tour guide. They accompanied us everywhere and handled entrance to activities, made sure secondary guides at attractions were properly compensated, and even brought medicine to us one night when our kids got sick. We consider them friends now, and we keep in touch. Without them, we would have missed out on so many experiences. Many of the historic sites have no signage or other markings to explain their importance, so that local knowledge is key. They also answered all of our questions and discussed some of the more emotionally difficult aspects of the tour (dealing with the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) with us. The price for all of this was very reasonable. To provide a comparison for Americans, if one were to take their family to Disney World and stay at a property within the park, you would pay a similar price per person per day as we did for this tour. I guarantee you will get much more value for your dollar from this experience than a second trip to Disney. The Ghanaian people were so wonderful and so happy to share their culture with us. They encouraged us when we felt timid, but weren’t pushy. They were gentle with us when we made the good natured mistakes that inevitably happen when one is learning a new culture. The food was amazing, echoing so many familiar flavors and textures of food from the American South. The landscape was unlike any I’d seen. It is a beautiful country, and it deserves to be on your short list of places to visit.

Worth every penny This was the best trip we've had as a family. Ashanti designed a custom itinerary for us which kept our 8 year old son entertained, gave us a tour of the country and it's food, heritage and people and gave us a robust education from past to present. Our driver and guide were the best we've ever had - many other tourists and staff at the heritage sites knew them by name and were always happy to see them and sing their praises. We didn't have to lift a finger to have the PERFECT experience and the cost was well worth it. We will be traveling w Ashanti again soon. I can't recommend this company enough.

Going back Prince and Alex made my visit back to Ghana after 60 years so very special - they enabled me to share some of my past with my son - who travelled with me - and revisit places and treasured memories with them too! Everything and everywhere was perfectly taken care of - our complete tour was a private one for just the two of us - and the mission was completed when we found my old home on the last day! I cannot thank you all enough. Please support this wonderful company - as they also help local causes from both eco and educational aspects. Ghana and its people is beautiful...........

A wonderful tour! We organized a private tour in Ghana for our family. Everything was perfect! Rosematilda did an excellent job of arranging everything exactly how we wanted it. She stayed in touch with us regularly and was very helpful. Our driver Stanley and our guide Alex were top quality. We felt safe on all our drives around the country, and we learned so much. I cannot imagine a smoother and better trip! The whole experience was wonderful, thanks to Rosematilda, Alex and Stanley.

Excellent Birding Tour My husband and I arranged a two-week birding tour with Ashanti African Tours, and it surpassed all expectations. Rosematilda in the office was very helpful and responsive ahead of time, and everything about the trip was well organized. We felt very fortunate to have Victor Owusu as our birding guide. He has a deep knowledge of the birds and can tell by ear what is in the area. His patient and thoughtful approach made birding with him a real pleasure. We saw 330 species of birds, most of which were new to us – and this was at a time of year when most of the migrating birds are not present. Because my husband’s goal is to get at least one good photo of each species, Victor focused on getting us quality looks at the birds, rather than just going for greater numbers, which makes it even more surprising that we saw so many. Ben Frimpong was our proficient and attentive driver, who somehow remained calm and cheerful even in the midst of some rather challenging road conditions. We were also glad to have some cultural experiences mixed in with the birding, and to learn about Ghanaian food along the way. Now that we have experienced Ashanti African Tours, we look forward to traveling with them again.
