Imagine venturing into a country where vivid cities harmonize with tranquil landscapes, where culture pulses with ancient pride, and where every meal is a celebration of flavours. Ghana, the heart of West Africa, beckons with a promise of adventure and unforgettable experiences. Custom holiday trips to Ghana have never been more enticing, and creating your own Ghana travel packages is a dream for those seeking a blend of comfort and authenticity.

The Charm of Accra

Your journey might begin in Accra, the vibrant capital, where the air is alive with a mix of modernity and tradition. Here, bustling markets contrast with serene beaches, offering a perfect introduction to Ghanaian life. Stroll through the Makola Market, where vendors display everything from colourful textiles to handcrafted artifacts. The rhythm of the city beats strongest at the Oxford Street, a culinary and cultural hub that's home to lively bars, eateries, and art galleries.

Immerse Yourself in History

Ghana's history is as rich as its landscape. Cape Coast and Elmina castles stand as solemn reminders of the transatlantic slave trade. These UNESCO heritage sites provide a profound glimpse into a world that once was, urging reflection and reverence. As you explore these fortresses, the stories etched in their walls will transport you to another era, making these visits essential in any custom travel packages to Ghana.

Experience the Wildlife

For the nature enthusiast, Mole National Park is a paradise waiting to be discovered. Imagine spotting elephants roaming freely in their natural habitat, or observing antelope grazing gracefully against the backdrop of savanna landscapes. Guided safaris offer opportunities to witness these magnificent creatures up close. Enrich your experience further by staying overnight in nearby lodges, where the sounds of the wild provide a unique symphony under the African sky.

A Cultural Mosaic

Venture north to experience the mystique of the Ashanti region, where tradition is woven into the very fabric of daily life. The city of Kumasi, Ghana’s second-largest city, is renowned for its vibrant markets such as the Kejetia Market, and the revered Manhyia Palace Museum, offering insights into the illustrious Ashanti Kingdom. This cultural dive is a highlight of personalized Ghana travel packages, allowing travellers to tailor experiences that resonate personally.

Gastronomic Adventures

No trip to Ghana is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. The dishes are a testament to the warmth and hospitality of its people. Whether devouring jollof rice, savouring the smoky flavours of suya (grilled kebabs), or trying your hands at preparing fufu with a local family, these experiences add layers to any custom holiday trips to Ghana. Food tours and cooking classes can be the perfect additions to your travel agenda.

Coastal Serenity

For those seeking relaxation, the coastline offers breathtaking beaches and tranquil escapes. Resorts along the Gulf of Guinea provide idyllic spots for unwinding, soaking in the sun, and enjoying the serene sounds of the ocean. From bustling spots like Labadi Beach to secluded stretches near Takoradi, each location can be woven into bespoke Ghana travel packages tailored to your desires.

Ghana invites exploration with open arms and vibrant spirit. Whether you’re crafting custom holiday trips to Ghana or selecting curated Ghana travel packages, the possibilities here are endless and diverse. The country’s rich tapestry of experiences awaits your discovery, ready to leave you with memories that last a lifetime.

Globetrotters might not know that one of Ghana's traditions is to name their children based on the day of the week they were born. This custom, where each day of the week has specific male and female names, is still widely practiced. Clients can actually do a naming ceremony in Ghana where they get a name based on the day they were born and an Ghanaians name based on what the chief decides on the day he meets you

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
