Sankofa - We did a nine day heritage tour. It was above and beyond what I had expected. Our tour guide was excellent. We learned so much about the history of the people. We visited many historic sites and also had the opportunity to try many different foods. I would most definitely recommend Ashanti African tours.

Great Experience - Our Sankofa Tour Group went on a 9-day/8-night Ghana Cultural Heritage Tour with Ashanti African Tours. We had a great experience. Ashanti Tours met all of our expectations. The administrative staff was very helpful and patient as we went through the cumbersome Visa process. Our assigned guide, Oscar Kwarteng, and our assigned driver, Christian were both outstanding. Oscar was very personable and had extensive knowledge about Ghana & West African history and culture. His pleasant personality resonated very well with our group. Oscar and Christian were very helpful attending to our needs. Ashanti delivered on all the points listed in the itinerary with no particular issues. Our group was very impressed and we would definitely recommend Ashanti to anyone interested in West African travel.

Come Home with us to Ghana. - We were a total of 21 women and 1 man. The purpose of our trip was first to serve, and share our blessings with those in need. The second part was to learn about our ancestor trial and tribulation. Our Tour guides Oscar and Celestina, and the whole of the Ashanti African Tours we all say thank you for going above and beyond the call to make our stay so memorable and taking care of our friend while she was in the hospital. As the travel advisor all I can say is thank you from my entire group.

The trip that affirmed me - My two friends and I went on the 8-day Ghana Heritage Tour conducted by Ashanti African Tours. The experience began when we connected with the Administrative team. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Rosematilda, our contact person was highly organized, extremely informative, promptly responsive, and exhibited consummate professionalism at all times. Our guide, Foster Frimpong was exceptional. It was apparent in everything he did that he held himself to the highest level of professionalism. He was a wealth of information and like every good teacher he shared the information with us while riding the tour bus preparing us for what we would be encountering at the next stop; this allowed me to better understand and absorb the information we received at each of the site visits. He extended himself to the point that we felt we were traveling with a very knowledgeable family member. He was on top of all our requests and needs such as bathroom breaks, distributing water, providing music, and ensuring that the temperature in the bus was always comfortable. He truly could be an exceptional trainer for other tour guides. Our driver, Ibrahim was the epitome of professionalism. He was knowledgeable, an exceptional chauffeur, and made us feel as if we were traveling with a very competent family member. He made it a point to help us take pictures, especially group pictures. He pointed out things of interest as we were on the road. As far as accommodations, they were each exemplary hotels with exemplary staff. Great choices!! As for our meals, I am from Panama, Central America. It made my heart so happy to find so many foods that we eat that we brought from our Ghanaian roots. Every meal was nutritious, delicious, and a glimpse into true Ghanaian food. I have returned home and encouraged all my friends and family members to reach out to you to schedule this same trip. This trip exceeded all my expectations. I was educated. I was enlightened as to who I am and where I came from. I was affirmed that I, a black person am of worth(my ancestors were of worth). I cannot put into words or thank you enough for a trip filled with learning, pain, joy, and exaltation. You exceeded all my expectations. Since I have returned home I have made it my duty to tell all my friends and family, especially my children about my trip and the fact that they must make this trip and the only tour group that they should consider is Ashanti African Tours. You have set a very high bar of excellence for any future trips I take. .

Outstanding Wildlife Tour - Ghana - Ashanti African Tours is a great, professional company that provided us with an excellent tour in Ghana. They tailor-made an itinerary for us, focusing on the wildlife we were interested in. Our guide Jackson was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife, and could tell which bird was calling from hearing just a short call. Those skills helped us see virtually every animal we had hoped to see, even when it required extra time hiking in the heat of the day. He was very attentive to our needs, providing us with water and extra food when necessary. The lodges met or exceeded our expectations, with Ankasa Reserve Lodge being outstanding. Overall, it was a fantastic tour and we highly recommend Ashanti African Tours to others seeking birdwatching or animal tours in West Africa.

Ghana history and culture - The culture of Ghana in their parades, museums, markets, the Welcome nd Naming ceremony for African Americans, were fabulous, and the knowledge and expertise of our guide was excellent. Our driver was also excellent, we travelled like a family, enjoying the miles when we travelled, listening to music, joking and then reverently experiencing history and culture. It was simply amazing. The best tour of my life.. Our guide was Foster Frimpong, and our driver was Ibrahim Mohammed. Rosematilda helped us from the administration office before and during our trip.

Birdwatching tour of Ghana rainforests. - I have just returned from a birdwatching tour to the rainforests of Ghana with ground arrangements and guiding handled by Ashanti. The guides, James Ntakor, Ebenezer and driver Anim were excellent, always cheerful and ready to help with anything we might want. We saw almost every bird species I hoped to, including several difficult ones (e.g. Nkulengu Rail, Red-fronted Antpecker, Black-collared Lovebird and Nimba Flycatcher) and some amazing mammals. I recommend Ashanti to anyone planning a birding trip in Ghana.

Best Tour Company in Africa - Ashanti African Tours are a superior, professional company that strives to meet the needs of its tour group. Harambee International Development lead a group of 26 that throughly enjoy magnificent Tour Guides, Drivers and professional Administrative Staff that provided a Ghanaian cultural experience beyond our wildest dream!

Discovering Dahomey/Benin - I had a memorable trip to Benin with Ashanti! For many reasons, especially during this restrictive period, people would advise against visiting certain places, but with open minded people and good will, you’ll always find the best in everything! Oscar and Kojo warmly welcomed me at the airport in Cotonou and took me on a 8 day heritage tour throughout Benin, which may not be one of the richest countries, but offered warmth, history of the ancient Dahomey and the Kings, slavery, origins of Voodoo, traditional food, simplicity of life and values. I am looking forward to an next trip to Western Africa!

Absolutely Amazing Cultural and Historical Tour - My husband and I along with my sister recently went on a 14-day tour of Ghana. It by far exceeded our expectations. From beginning to end our trip was memorable, the experience of a lifetime. The stage was set by Rosematilda, whose efficiency and professionalism won me over and made me decide to choose Ashanti African Tours. Our driver, Prince Boamah was careful, patient and knew the terrain like the back of his hands. An outstanding driver!! Our knowledgeable guide, Isaac Mensah was like a walking encyclopedia. He left no stone unturned in relating to us Ghana's riveting history and exposed/enlightened us to so much of Ghana's rich culture. From Kente cloth weaving to Batik making, to the naming ceremony, we truly felt a kinship to the Ghanian people. We experienced sombering moments when we visited the Cape Coast and Elmina slave dungeons where our foreparents were held before shipment to the Americas and the Caribbean in that awful stain on humanity that was slavery. From Accra to Kumasi, to the savannah region, to Cape Coast and Elmina, we covered a lot of ground on our tour, one that would be indelibly etched on our minds. Thank you, Ashanti African Tours, specifically Rosematilda, Prince and Isaac for the gift of a lifetime. We will always treasure our memories of Ghana.
