EXCELLENT Based on 102 reviews Posted on Michael H2023-11-16Verified A Birding watching trip to Ghana Visited from 15th Oct 23 to 31st Oct 23 for a Birdwatching holiday organised by Ashanti. We had an excellent birding guide and driver. I have birded throughout the world and Philip, our guide, was superb, as good as any I have been with. He was punctual, informative, helpful and considerate. He went out of his way to ensure we saw the Nkulengu Rail, which had proved to be rather elusive. We saw nearly all our target birds totalling 366 species for the trip. Philip kept us well provided with fruit and snacks throughout the trip. My wife and I are both 75+ and Philip and our driver Eric made sure we were looked after and carried most of our luggage when needed. Accommodation was variable, though travelling to remote parts of Ghana one does not expect 5 star facilities. The Ashanti lodge at Ankasa was excellent with a comfortable, clean and well lit room plus good air conditioning and bathroom facilities. The accommodation at Kakum, Bonkro and Kumasi was also fine. The first night nr Accra was poor with a very poorly lit room, no hot water and poor food. Mole was a wonderful setting with reasonable food but a below par room with virtually no air conditioning, poor bathroom facilities and very dim lighting. What is it about places that cannot provide adequate lighting? In spite of my comments regarding some of the accommodation overall this was a very good trip and certainly value for money. Finally the ladies in the Ashanti office were very efficient answering e mails immediately, even at weekends! They provided us with all the documentation we needed for visas extra and any question was answered well. Well done Ashanti!Posted on Stefan Hage2023-11-16Verified Private 19-days Ghana Birding & Nature tour If you ever plan to visit Ghana for its wounderful birds and nature you just have to book a private trip with Ashanti African Tours. We (four birders and photographers from Sweden) started to plan this trip back in August 2022 and we started an email conversation with Rosematilda! She helped us forming this trip and it proved to be a great success! Rosematilda replied very quickly on all our weird questions and gave us relevant information on everything! Doing a private trip gives you the opportunity to stay a bit longer on the most precious places like Ankasa NP, Mole NP and so on! Giving them a "most-wanted" list of birds you like to see helps the guides to plan the trip in best way! The plan was to arrive in Accra 20 Oct 2023 but flights were delayed do our trip started the day after! Our luggage was missing so the start was not what we wanted! However, our guide Jackson who met us at the airport helped us reporting the missing bags and then we jumped into the car with the driver Ibrahim waiting for us! We visited Kakum NP with the famous Canopy walk, further on to Ankasa Reserve, Abrafo Forest & Picathartes nesting site, Bonkro Forest, Bobiri Butterfly Sanctuary, Mole NP, one stop to see Egyptian Plover and then back south to Atewa Range. All in all we managed to see and hear more than 380 bird species, many of them seldom seen outside Ghana! Our guide Jackson was a real expert with eyes and ears incredibly sharp! He spotted the smallest movement far away in the dense vegetation and even the faintest bird sound was identified and often also visible after some time! The driver Ibrahim was always glad, showing his nice big smile every time! Due to the delayed luggage we had to fix some clothing, rubber boots etc and Ibrahim and Jackson was very helpful and know where to stay and shop whatever we needed! Overall Ashanti Tours, Jackson and our driver Ibrahim made this trip a real success with so many birds seen and the real Ghana explored during our days in Ghana! Don´t wait, plan your trip together with Ashanti and it will be perfect!Posted on Kerline C2023-11-14Verified Come Home with us to Ghana. We were a total of 21 women and 1 man. The purpose of our trip was first to serve, and share our blessings with those in need. The second part was to learn about our ancestor trial and tribulation. Our Tour guides Oscar and Celestina, and the whole of the Ashanti African Tours we all say thank you for going above and beyond the call to make our stay so memorable and taking care of our friend while she was in the hospital. As the travel advisor all I can say is thank you from my entire group.Posted on Frances D2023-11-12Verified Great destination -- Ghana! Our 10 day tour of Ghana was put together by Ashanti for 4 of us --- We could not be happier --Foster out birding guide was superb! We saw and heard so many new species of birds and mammals. Our driver Frank was wonderful. Both gentlemen took care of us and showed us so many amazing culture sites and the natural beauty of a fantastic birding destination ---Ghana!! Thank you to Ashanti.Posted on Jean F2023-11-04Verified Birding and Culture tour of Ghana We joined guide Foster and driver Frank from Ashanti for a 12 day birding and culture trip. Foster is an amazing guide, very friendly, patient and his birding ability is off the charts. He informed us about many Ghanian customs, helped us pick delicious local meals, made sure we were comfortable and well fed and hydrated. Frank kept us safe on the roads and added to the fun. The birding was fantastic, the people very friendly and always smiling, the local foods are delicious. We absolutely recommend Ashanti African Tours for a great time in Ghana. We are already planning our next trip with Ashanti. Ashanti has several set tours but we wanted something a bit different and they worked out an itinerary that gave us exactly what we desired. Our lodging was very comfortable, air conditioned and safe. In addition to birding we got to see West Africa's oldest Mosque, Colonial slaving castles, waterfalls, public fish markets and remote villages. Foster capably taught us about each location.Posted on chesebrgr2023-11-02Verified Fantastic birding trip We had an excellent 7 days birding and butterflying trip to Ghana, visiting Kakum, Ankasa and Picathartes Village / Bonkro. Our guide Philip was really great. He found us 207 species of which 107 were lifers, a great total, and included many of the specialities such as Akun Eagle Owl, Spot-breasted Ibis, Nkulengu Rail and of course the spectacular Picathartes! We were made to feel very welcome straight away and the lodges especially in Ankasa and Picathartes guest house were really nice and comfortable, especially considering the logistical challenges. We will definitely be back to do the North!Posted on Connie9992023-09-26Verified Outstanding Tour of Ghana I had an excellent experience. I contacted the company in February about my plans to visit Ghana in 2023. Rosematilda gave me the option to join a planned tour or to create a private one. I chose a private, all inclusive tour. Rosematilda answered all my questions over the months of planning and assisted me with applying for a visa. She accommodated and advised me when I wanted to add (too many) activities to the itinerary. When I arrived in Ghana, my tour guide, Frank, met me at the airport. Our driver, Richard skillfully navigated the challenging traffic conditions. I spent my first two nights in Accra. I enjoyed my hotel stay, the sites and the restaurants. Frank did a good job of giving me information about sites and history. My next three nights were in Kumasi. I learned about the Asante Kingdom and visited several sites. My final two nights were in Elmina. Frank was kind and patient when I decided to skip the Kakum canopy walk due to the heat and when I skipped my drumming lessons on Monday morning so that I could have extra time at the beach. Ashanti arranged for me to have two outfits custom made with matching head wraps at an unbelievable price point. Frank took me to some great places for shopping. Frank and Richard treated me like a respected elder making sure that I had everything that I needed. I received an excellent tour at a reasonable price. I recommend Ashanti without reservation. When I return to the Motherland, I will tour with Ashanti.Posted on Gunnersaurus2023-09-21Verified Amazing ! The views were amazing, the people were fabulous and the tour guides were superb. Ghana 2023 really was a trip of a lifetime and Ashanti African Tours really did make every single second worthwhile. I really could not recommend this company enough. They’re the best and I look forward to seeing them again. Thank you!!Posted on Curiosity205392982792023-09-13Verified 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.Posted on Laura S2023-09-04Verified Cultural tour of Ghana An incredible experience! We were able to refine the regular tour to meet our specific needs. Rosematilda was responsive and timely via email.
