1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
All of it but especially the Cape Coast castle and museum sites which were very moving and educational.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This holiday is ideal for people who like to explore different cultures and who are interested in history and adventure.
The roads can be challenging with a number of very bumpy rides but it's all worth it.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes as the hotels I stayed in were run by local companies and people. There is more interest in keeping the country clean than any other West African country that I have visited. You do not see rubbish piled up at the side of the road.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was an excellent holiday and it was great to visit the three most visited areas of Ghana, Accra, the Ashanti district and the Cape Coast.

Planet
Introducing Ghana tour offers participants an opportunity to experience the spirit of Ghana, one of Africa's most exciting countries. The program focuses on the country's cultural, social and economic diversity as well as its colorful and vibrant culture.We make every effort to have a good influence on the people and environments we visit, and we urge passengers to donate products that are affordable and easy to pack, such as pencils for school children and recycled clothes.
We also help with hotels and guest homes to establish best practices in terms of environmental issues. We go to these hotels with our local staff to deliver a presentation on environmental issues and to assist them in setting up solar panels as well as turning off lights and electrical appliances that are not being used.
Travelers on this tour are not permitted to trash the environment, but are instead encouraged to educate the communities they visit about environmental concerns such as garbage recycling.
People
Introducing Ghana tour provides our participants with a one-of-a-kind neighborhood experience as well as benefits to the communities visited, as all site fees are used to further the development of those communities.The majority of the lodgings used on these trips are owned by locals. This allows us to provide something of monetary value to the communities while also ensuring that our visit has a beneficial impact on them by purchasing locally manufactured goods. We also make certain that our visits do not impinge on the people's native customs and beliefs.
We prefer to work with smaller, locally owned businesses to ensure that our operations help local communities directly. For example, we use small, locally owned hotels, campgrounds, and activity providers wherever feasible.
Throughout the journey, we work with local guides and operators (responsible local operators that provide training and employment to many local people as guides, providing them with stable employment in the tourism industry.)
