Select participants and date
You step off the air-conditioned van into the humid hum of Accra and the country seems to exhale around you — market calls, the distant rush of surf, a guide counting the group with practiced calm. Over the next seven days the landscape will push and pull: a lake that gleams like polished steel at Akosombo, rainforest that leans over a suspended walkway, cliffs with waterfalls that dare you closer, and savanna where elephants ghost along the horizon.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate and carry purified water
Although the tour supplies purified bottled water, always carry a refillable bottle for hikes and safaris to avoid dehydration in humid conditions.
Wear grippy, broken‑in footwear
Trails to Afadjato and Wli are steep and slippery when wet; trail shoes with good tread reduce slip risk and protect ankles.
Carry small cash and local currency
Many smaller sites and markets accept only cash for souvenirs, tips, or local snacks — bring GHS for convenience.
Respect wildlife viewing rules
During safaris and sanctuary visits stay with the guide, keep noise low, and avoid feeding animals unless explicitly permitted by staff.
