Fine pleasant and safe trip - It was a pleasant trip . Confidence was a real good person and fulfilled all what is in the itinerary . He made the crossing between the four countries borders easy and tried his best to get good guides through out the trip . I really advise anyone visiting the five countries I visited to go with him as he is very honest and takes good care of his passengers.

Extremely reliable and competent. Amazing tour. Strongly recommended - The tour with Confidence and his team was perfect. He prepared a customized trip for me to visit 4 countries (Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana) based on my requirements and time (9 days). Everything was very well planned and the tour was perfect. Confidence and his team are extremely reliable and also very nice. I enjoyed the time with them and we had a lot of laugh and good time! Strongly recommended!

Exciting and Well-Organized 10-Day Tour Through West Africa with Confidence and Alex - We just recently went on a 10 day tour with Confidence and Alex, covering Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Thanks to Confidence and Alex, we had amazing experiences in these countries and saw places that would otherwise not have been that easy to see as foreigners (such as local neighborhoods and slums). Both Confidence and Alex did a solid job in showing us West Africa and helped us whenever we had questions about culture, food and the people. They are very reliable and the tour was very reasonably priced and perfectly tailored to our desires. We always felt super safe on our trip with them. We can 100% recommend Ucomeafrik and will certainly book our next trip in another West African country with them. Thank you Condidence & Alex, hope to see you soon again!

An Awesome Taster of West Africa - I did a 7D6N trip across Lagos, Benin and Togo. The trip was well executed throughout, led by Vincent (born and bred Nigerian), and Albert (French-speaking Togolese). They both went through great effort to make sure that all matters were well sorted, included the border and customs checks (esp the infamous one leading from Badagry to the Seme border). Their chemistry was great, and it felt like going on a road trip with friends. They also had excellent knowledge of the area, addressing any questions I had about the history and culture of the region. I’d highly recommend the company to anyone visiting West Africa.

Amazing tour! Thank you Confidence and his team - Traveling to Nigeria and Ghana requires visas (US passport) and they are not easy to get. I took this private 4-country tour with Confidence and he arranged everything for me. The moment I arrived at Lagos airport, VOA officer from Confidence’s contact helped me get the visa within 15 minutes, then I was taken to immigration and customs without waiting in line. Same great treatment entering Ghana by land. The tour was packed with many stops, and it was not just the “slave trade history” from Badagry to Cape Coast that i learned so much about. I also visited the orphanage inside Makoko in Lagos, Ganvie, sacred forest, and python temple in Benin, Fetish Market in Togo… all in private vehicles with a driver and a multi-lingual fixes/guides. I highly recommend booking this tour with Confidence! Oh, his price is very reasonable, too.

Alex and Confidence were part of the best of this trip. - Confidence and Alex were a great company throughout our trip. They handled our visas for Ghana, they gave us the docuemnts needed for the Nigerian visa, and took us to the best places in the itinerary and attended our needs and interests. They took care of us and made us feel safe. What we saw in those countries was interesting and tough. The slavery tours were mindopening and harsh, but necessary. Benin was very lovely with Ouidah being quaint and religious, the sea was beautiful along the coast.

An incredible West African experience! - Wow, this was an amazing trip. Every site was pure magic and Confidence & Alex really made sure the details came together before and during the tour. I’ve traveled in over 100 countries and W Africa has some of the trickiest visas & border crossings I’ve ever experienced. I’m so grateful that they made the process more streamlined so I could enjoy my time and not stress over the details. This journey was inspiring & humbling. The people were kind and so unique. Even though there was a set itinerary, there was always room for spontaneous stops (like at the longest street art wall in Africa!) I cannot wait to tour with Confidence / UComeAfrik again one day. Do not hesitate to book this adventure if you’re interested in visiting these countries! It’s incredible.

Excellent adventure across 4 West African countries - Alex was a great guide/driver. Despite the challenging driving conditions, numerous checkpoints/bureaucracy and long distances, he made it all seem so seamless! Was very knowledgeable and accommodative. Note: the standard package is 3 star hotels - still decent but nevertheless set your expectations accordingly. Also, please ensure you have some form of data roaming upon arrival to inform the driver as he is unable to wait at the arrival hall due to traffic regulations.
