Excellent Tour Company - These guys are top notch. Very attentive and just overall good people. Everyone enjoyed our tour. These are the people to book for your tour. We had a large group (25 people). Trip Advisor limits booking to 15 people, so we had to make two reservations to cover everyone. The Tour company combined us and put us all on one big comfortable bus, versus two smaller vehicles. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

1st visit to Ghana/Slave castles - We had such a great time on this tour with our guide Clement. We had plenty of water & wifi and the vehicle was very comfortable. It's a very emotional experience so come prepared to soak it all in.

Worth it 100% - Turned up a little late but they waited for me... Only down fall was traffic 😲😒 but loved every minute of this trip, Didn't know there was so much history behind Accra, loved the tour and learned so much, helps that you have tour guides that know their history so would give them 5 stars, well worth going on this tour!! Just try not to be late... But the traffic in Accra is crazy!!!

Excellent Experience with Excellent Host - I had the chance to be paired with Med. I had a great time with him, learning about Cape Coast’s history and the local life in Accra/CC. Met some great ppl and would definitely recommend to others.

Must Have Experience - I was blessed to have Nii as my tour guided. He was very friendly, patient and informative. The visit to Cape Coast and Elmina Castle was breathtaking in every way! If you love wildlife and hiking then you'll definitely love the canopy walk at Kakum National Park. Dont skip on the cocoa, trust me. We stopped for local fruit on the way to the castles and the lunch of jolaf rice and chicken was nothing short of amazing! Very eye opening experience. I recommend this tour for everyone visiting Ghana!!

Highs and lows! Literally - This trip is not for the faint hearted. It was our first trip out of Accra and its 3/4 hour journey allowed us to take in the changing landscape. And feel it too! (Some roads are bumpy outside of the city). It was a deeply emotional trip for us. The visit to the Last Bath and Elmina Castle was difficult to digest. It generated good conversations and healthy reflection on the return journey to Accra. The Canopy walk was a great opportunity to be in nature and out of our comfort zone! Drinking Fresh coconut water straight from the coconut whilst surrounded by lush verdant foliage was pure joy and appreciation. I could go on for hours about the range of emotions and literal highs in the forests and lows in the dungeons but instead a few tips. It helps to be flexible. If you need to eat at regular intervals advise your guide beforehand so they can plan around this. The same with toilet breaks: don’t wait till you need the toilet to mention it. You can have as much conversation as you like or as little. Your guide will take their lead from you.

Nii is an amazing asset to Wild Tours and Ghana at large; the Trip was mind blowing - I was skeptical when Nii called to tell me he was already at our Hotel and I stepped out but didn't see him or the vehicle. I started chatting with him and it turned out he had gone to Fiesta Royale Hotels instead of Fiesta Residences (where we were). We had a good laugh when he arrived at our Hotel eventually - some 18 mins later. I had my reservations about the small red car as more leg room would have made the trip more comfortable, but it proved to be rugged as it went from Accra to Cape Coast and back without any incidents. Nii blew my mind when he led us in prayer before we embarked upon the journey - there was an explanation for that as he stated that in these parts of the world, persons embarking on journeys were expected to commit the journey to the Supreme being. He promised that the trip would not only be about Kakum national Park, Elmina and cape Coast Castle but would be an opportunity to learn more about Ghana. I daresay that I learnt so much about the Culture and people of Ghana on this trip than i knew till that day. Nii was a talker and kept us informed and engaged all through the trip. We stopped by at Zizibi restaurant on the way to Kakum and I had some Ghanaian jollof (still second to the Nigerian jollof though). We couldn't visit the International Sting-less Bees centre because of the small red car (smiles) as the road to the centre is known to be rugged. I learnt about the Fantis, the Gans, the Asantis etc. His sense of humour was equally excellent, and we sort of just connected. His photography skills were equally fantastic as he took quite some shots especially when we were not aware. he also allowed us recreate a scene from our honeymoon trip 10 years ago. Nii, and indeed Wild Tours will be recommended for anyone wishing to have an awesome experience of Ghana....
