Cultural Trips

After boarding our vehicle, which will be your mode of transport for the duration of your tour, we transfer you to your accommodation which is situated in Accra.  Most flights arrive here in the late evenings so as such after checking you in, your experienced guide will brief you on all aspects of your trip.  You can enjoy your evening meal at the hotel restaurant whilst acclimatising yourself to West Africa.

Take a relaxed start to the morning as you allow the rush hour traffic to pass before setting off to one of Accra’s best local markets.  You can choose to skip or have a light breakfast at your accommodation this morning as it would be a perfect chance to experience one of the local street foods Ghanaians eat at one of the many stalls in the Makola Market. 
In the afternoon pass by Black Star Square which houses the independence monument and continue to Independence Square which is the main ceremony grounds and where you will find the enclosed flame of African liberation. A fascinating afternoon and evening is in store as you head downtown to Jamestown; one of the oldest suburbs of Accra.  The afternoon will be dedicated to the community here as you take on a walking tour of this old community taking in some of the historical structures that predate the colonial era. A short distance from these is a small local street bar and restaurant in the heart of the community where you can enjoy your evening meal and refreshments. Spending the afternoon and evening here really makes you feel part of the community.

A relaxed morning as you enjoy breakfast in this remote community taking in village life in this beautiful setting.  During breakfast you can decide which local dishes you would like to learn to cook, as you have been in Ghana for almost a week, you are certain you will all have a local favourite which your chefs will be happy to teach you how to prepare. 
The focus after breakfast is on heading to the local markets to purchase ingredients for dinner which is a great way to experience daily life here, mixing in the markets, bartering for produce and then heading back to our village to prepare a local meal.  Lunch will be taken at a local chop bar (local restaurant) in town as we shop for ingredients for our dinner. 
Other options here are assisting the locals to produce Gari which is one of their main sources of income, heading to one of the local farms to harvest the cassava, bringing it to the local mill and then learning how prepare it to be sent to the local market for sale to be helpful to the local community. 
Your evening meal is taken around an open bonfire, listening to local stories, music and mixing with the community.
