5.00Visiting Ghana has always been on my bucket list. Nuru-Deen and his team definitely made my trip the best of a lifetime. From picking us up from the airport, different hotels, traveling to each destination the guys made the experience feel like home. They were so patient with us. They explained everything thoroughly. They made Africa feel like home. They were family. I would choose them over and over again. Definitely looking forward to visiting Ghana and booking with them again. This was the experience of a lifetime for me!
Best way to see ghana

5.00ATMs are plentiful and you should use ghana currency for everyone's convenience. Just write out a chart and keep it in your wallet with ghana denomination equal to US currency. Tip staff generously. Police check points are plentiful but the police are generally very nice, don't aggravated them and it's all good. The roads can be very bumpy, a good seat cushion works wonders for long flights and the vehicle ride. Ghanaians are very polite and friendly and make a lot of effort to make us comfortable so if we have small inconvenience please be respectful and understanding. Ghana is a very safe place and I never felt any uncomfortable going anywhere. Use Uber but tip in cash, use local ride share like Bolt or yango but set the payment to cash and pay the driver and tip in cash. If you set it on credit card you may not get picked up. Meals are inexpensive compared to the states, generally about 6-9 USD. and portions are huge. Local beers, Star and Club are large 22oz and cost only 1.56 USD. in the bar. The weather in October is 87 hi 76 lo. No need for pants. Shorts only and either tank tops or very light t-shirts. Private massage at coconut grove beach resort are excellent, we had the couple massage in our room. Dorothy, Olivia, and Ameri were excellent. Cost was equivalent to 49.50 USD. so tipping them generously is still a bargain. If you have bottled drinking water and candy for them after it helps as the work they perform is strenuous. Our guide, Basit, made our trip very relaxed and serene. Tripafrica tours are very different from the group tours from Gate 1, Smart tours, or Overseas Adventure travel. We've tried those and it became less appealing each time for so many reasons. With Tripafrica tours it doesnt include airfare there, so you can shop the airfare on your own find what works best for you as far as price and dates you want, then contact Tripafrica and they'll put together a tour based on the period you are there. If there are places or activities you want they'll make those arrangements also. They gave me a few options and I liked what they were and picked one. I wanted to come a day earlier to just relax and leave a day later so they adjusted my program to that also. On the big company group tours much of it is so scripted and feels rehearsed and like we're cattle being led around with a guide that is constantly feeding us information overload and won't shut up. Not so with Tripafrica, they don't talk your ear off and they give you room to breath while you take in the beauty of the country and the people. They stop when you need to pee right away or want to get a snack or stretch. We stopped and got fresh coconut juice at a roadside stand and waved down people selling water and plantation chips a number of times. Those other tours would never do that and the money we spend goes directly to the members of the community. We stayed at only locally owned places as arranged by Tripafrica to keep it all local. There were a few very minor inconveniences but all were addressed immediately. Just remember that internet connection in rural areas is spotty. Toilets in some places are different as some areas are underdeveloped, like at stops along the way so bring wipes if you like. By the end of the trip we felt like family. Our driver, George was absolutely wonderful getting us to each location safely and timely. I recommend tipping driver and tour guide generously as the saving using small tour companies leaves you the ability.

5.00I always knew that I wanted to travel to Africa. I originally had plans of touring South Africa. However I joined a tour to Ghana with friends. I am so glad that I joined this tour. My life will forever be impacted by this experience... and I have TripAfrica Tours to thank for that. The trip was well planned and executed. The tour guides from TripAfrica made sure that were entertained, enlightened, and educated, as well as safe, comfortable and satisfied. I would highly recommend TripAfrica. They are extremely professional and courteous. They also have a vast knowledge of the region and places to tour. What an amazing experience! Thank you TripAfrica!
An amazing experience with TripAfrica Tours from beginning to end.

5.00Nuru-Deen and his team gave my wife and I an experience that greatly exceeded my expectations. The team is very personable, very professional, humorous, and fun. I felt that I saw so many great parts of Ghana that I was a resident and not a tourist. I highly recommend if you are visiting Ghana that you allow TripAfrica Tours to provide you memories that are unforgettable. I also really appreciated the “white-glove” service that Nuru-Deen offered leading up to our trip and first meet. Every box was discussed and checked to ensure that our experience was unique to our specific desires. Whenever I return to Ghana, my first choice will be coordinating with TripAfrica Tours.
Trip of a lifetime.

4.00A big praise to Nurudeen, we felt all around top care, he took care of everything. We were especially impressed by the forts in Elmina and Cape Coast. We have gained many impressions of the country and its people. The only drawback of this trip was the high humidity with which we had to fight.

4.00Excellent tour organized by Tropicaafrica your. Nurudeen is friendly and careful person as well as Tony the driver. The visited sites were carefully selected to match my request. My recommendation is to avoid that selected beach as it is not clean for swimming or walk on the shore.
