MESSAGE FROM THE CEO As we find ourselves in November, it's astonishing to realise that 2023 is drawing to a close. Throughout the year, our team has been diligently curating unforgettable memories through immersive West African experiences, and we are thrilled about the year ahead.

I am delighted to share that, thanks to our collective efforts, we have successfully navigated the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are now more committed than ever to spotlighting the breathtaking beauty of Ghana and Africa. Travel to West African countries has become even more seamless with the elimination of COVID-19 test requirements, immigration and health cards, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience within the region. We're equally thrilled about the resurgence of our partnerships with several cruise lines and private jet travel programs.

This year has been nothing short of a triumph, and none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support of our travel partners and clients. As we approach the year’s end, I extend a heartfelt invitation to each and every one of you to visit Ghana and immerse yourself in the renowned Ghanaian hospitality, experience the rich tapestry of heritage, culture, and the bountiful natural landscapes that our incredible country has to offer. As we bid farewell to 2023, Ghana is gearing up for a spectacular array of events in December, further solidifying its standing as a premier destination in West Africa and across the entire continent.

Looking into the new year, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to renew old partnerships, forge new relationships, and continue delivering the exceptional service we are known for and take pride in.

Keep an eye out for exciting new products from us, carefully designed to share the richness of West Africa in a more profound and meaningful way.

It remains both an honor and a privilege to serve as your preferred destination management company, bridging the gap between you and our magnificent continent. Our aim is to make Africa feel like your home away from home.

We are unwaveringly committed to helping you build meaningful connections and, ultimately, falling in love with Africa.

A pioneering country at the forefront for the fight for colonial freedom led by the visionary Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana has positioned itself as a country that is welcoming of diverse people and cultures.

Recent campaigns like the Year of the Return and subsequent “Beyond the Return” campaigns have reinforced and elevated the world’s view of Ghana as truly being your home away from home.

GHANAIAN HOSPITALITY Ghanaians are widely known for being extremely pleasant and welcoming, ensuring that all visitors are comfortable and feel at home.

Right from the ports of arrival, visitors are welcomed with an inviting smile and an 'Akwaaba,' which means welcome in the local parlance.

The spirit of community is deeply ingrained in the Ghanaian way of life. Traditionally, visitors are not allowed to perform house chores and their meals are served first. This traditional custom is amplified in how non-Ghanaians are treated.

PEACE & SECURITY Ghana is notably one of the safest countries in Africa, ranking 4th on the 2023 Global Peace Index.

Despite political instability in a few West African countries, Ghana’s people and security organizations ensure the steadfast safety of all. Foreigners can walk safely by themselves while exploring the country.

As with other tourist destinations, necessary caution should always be applied, such as carrying small amounts of money. Moreover, it is advisable to reduce the wearing of expensive jewelry, and valuable items should be kept in a secure place, such as a hotel safety deposit box.

Visa Requirements For Africans Changing Ghana and South Africa have established an exciting agreement, providing 90-day visa waivers for citizens from both nations annually. This initiative, effective since November 1, 2023, aims to enhance bilateral relations, boost tourism, and foster trade.

Similarly, the Presidents of Kenya and Rwanda have announced plans to eliminate visa requirements for travelers across Africa. This step aims to unify the continent, facilitating easier travel between countries. The Presidents see this as a catalyst for other African nations to join, creating unprecedented opportunities for the entire continent.
