Ghana is an incredible country filled with friendly people and plenty to explore. While 10 days is a bit of a whirlwind, it’s enough time to get a solid taste of Ghana—culture, history, nature, and a bit of adventure all wrapped up between Accra and Cape Coast. I’ve designed this itinerary to strike the right balance between activities and downtime, so you can get the most out of your trip without feeling totally wiped out by the end. I’ve also organized each day’s activities in a way that makes the most sense for efficiency (and to avoid too much time stuck in Accra’s traffic). Trust me, a little strategic planning goes a long way here. I don’t recommend a lot of specific restaurants unless they’re near the stops and I can vouch for them. Ghana has plenty of hidden gems when it comes to casual dining, so it’s best to go with the flow and choose a spot close by when you get hungry. Just don’t wait until you’re starving—food prep in Ghana can take a bit of time. That said, street food and chop bars (local eateries with ready-made dishes) are great, fast options when you’re on the go. There are certain activities where you'll need to hire a driver. I can easily recommend Junior. He knows everywhere and everyone and he's a great driver. His specialty is Cape Coast, but he's very well-versed in Accra, too. Just call or WhatsApp him to make arrangements: +233 024 473 6171. If Junior isn't available, just ask at your hotel or hit up a Bolt driver that you like and think will give you a fair price, (always negotiate first). Two apps you’ll want to download for your trip Bolt - It’s like Uber, but local, and it works in both Accra and Cape Coast. Pro Tip: Always opt to pay in cash when using Bolt. Trust me on this – drivers are much more motivated to show up when they know there’s cash waiting at the end of the ride! Glovo – Food delivery in Accra. If your hotel doesn’t have a restaurant and you just don’t feel like going out, this is a good way to get fed. It can be slow, though, so order early.

South Africa is a multifaceted country filled with magical outdoor adventures that dreams are made of. In this stunning part of the world, you can feel the rush of adrenaline while coming face to face with lions, sleep under the stars in the “bush”, acquaint yourself with local cultures, & experience fabulous weather & history-rich locations along the way. In 2019, I made my first trip to South Africa. It had been a dream of mine to visit the rainbow nation since I was a child & SA didn’t dissappoint. I immediately fell in love with the country from the people to the landscapes I felt that I was suppose to be there. I remember traveling into Cape Town by car from the garden route for the first time, with the sun setting over the ocean & “Queen” on the radio I felt like this place was going to be home. This guide will take you on a journey along the coast from Cape Town to Johannesburg or (vice versa) visiting some of the finest luxury hotels & camps that have a conservation / sustainable ethos along the way. I’ve also featured some of the very best experiences this nation has to offer. From swimming with great white sharks to getting up close & personal with lions in Kruger national park. This country truly makes for unforgettable experiences. This itinerary can be from 2-4 weeks & is based on renting a car in Cape Town & dropping it off in Johannesburg (the most popular way to travel) as public transport is lacking here. There are other ways to travel from local flights to hop-on hop-off tourist buses that stop at the most famous sights if you can’t drive.
