Note

Please note: This excursion is open to guests who are disembarking and will finish with a prompt drop-off at Dakar Airport around 5:15 PM. Ghana is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best available in the area but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. This excursion involves a moderate amount of walking of approximately 2 km (1.2 miles) at times over uneven, unpaved surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum. Guests are welcome to return early to the coach as needed. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed that tips to local guides and drivers are at the guest’s discretion. Order of sites visited may vary from description.
