14-Day Ghana Travel Itinerary

With over 30 years of independent travel under my belt, and a specialty in Africa, I can help you craft an authentic and extraordinary trip. Having lived in Ghana for more than two years, and with plans to travel overland from here to Namibia in 2025, I’ve got a wealth of on-the-ground knowledge to share.

I’m especially drawn to culture and the arts, and if you’re into connecting with local communities, you’re in the right place. I’ve spent hours in bustling markets, eaten traditional meals with my hands, and made friends with artisans and locals who’ve shared their stories and expertise. If you want a deeper cultural experience—beyond the tourist traps—I can show you how to do it.

My travels are well-rounded. I love to mix things up with history, art, and a bit of adventure. And while I’m not the fittest hiker out there (no shame!), I know how to find the sweet spot between exploration and comfort. If you're concerned about the difficulty level of activities, I’ve been there, and I can help you navigate what's doable based on your abilities and interests.

When it comes to accommodations, I keep things simple. Clean, comfortable, and affordable are my key priorities, but I also know when and where to splurge a little. Whether you’re a comfort-budget traveler like me or prefer more luxury, I’ll tailor my advice to suit your style.

During our call, I can provide itinerary suggestions, share insider tips, help with practical concerns, and give you a glimpse into local customs—because, let’s face it, traveling smoothly involves more than just knowing where to go. It’s about knowing how to fit in, too.

I’m especially knowledgeable about Ghana, Benin, Senegal, The Gambia, and Mauritania. If you’re heading to any of these destinations, I’ve got you covered with in-depth insights. But I’m also happy to chat about other regions I’ve explored and answer any questions you might have about what it’s really like to travel in Africa.

Let’s make your next trip unforgettable!

What are your top interests for this trip? (e.g., culture, arts, history, wildlife, local cuisine)

Tamale, Ghana

With over 30 years of independent travel experience and a deep knowledge of Africa, I specialize in creating custom itineraries that are tailored to your interests, pace, and travel style. Whether you're seeking authentic cultural experiences, hidden local gems, or just want to make the most of your trip without the stress of planning, I’m here to help.

I’ve spent years exploring destinations in Africa, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering off-the-beaten-path spots that most travelers miss. From the bustling markets of Ghana to dance and drum performances to serene coastal getaways, I know where to find the real heart of a place. I’m all about connecting with the people, tasting the local cuisine, and making sure every experience feels unique and personal.

If you’re not into roughing it, don’t worry. I can design itineraries that strike a balance between comfort and adventure—whether you’re after charming guesthouses or just a clean, simple place to rest after a day of exploring.

I’ll help you discover the best of each destination, whether you’re interested in arts and crafts, local music, nature, wildlife experiences, or history. My goal is to take the hassle out of planning so you can focus on the joy of traveling. I’m also super honest in my recommendations—no fluff, just practical advice to make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.

Let me help you create an unforgettable journey, designed around your personal preferences and the places I know best. We’ll work together to make sure every day of your trip is filled with experiences you’ll love, from local eats to must-see sights.
