Note
Please note: 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 over uneven surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach as well as at the botanical garden. This excursion includes a lot of driving, with 90 minutes in each direction plus travel time between sites. Guests are welcome to return early to the coach as needed. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed tips to local guides and drivers are at guest’s discretion.
