Accra 2 Cape Coast

An Unforgettable Ghana Experience with Wild Tours

I recently traveled to Ghana courtesy of Wild Tours Company based in Accra, and the experience was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They were very attentive to details and made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the entire trip. The tours were thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, food, and local experiences. The Cape Coast tour was especially impactful and informative, providing deep insight into Ghana’s rich and powerful history. Ghana is a country full of vibrant culture, warm people, and amazing food, and Wild Tours ensured that we experienced a little bit of everything during the 10 days we were there. I highly recommend Wild Tours to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and memorable travel experience in Ghana. Highly Recommend!

Visiting Cape Coast is a MUST!!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Wild Tours on the Accra Cape Coast tour. From start to finish, everything was well organized, informative, and enjoyable. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to truly appreciate the history of Cape Coast. Our tour guide, Chenti, was excellent, knowledgeable, and professional. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. All the other tour guides were very knowledgeable and passionate about Ghana’s history. Anyone interested in learning about the history of slavery should visit Cape Coast, and Wild Tours is an excellent choice. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Ghana.

A Full-Day Journey Through Ghana’s Forests, History, and Daily Life

During a work trip to Ghana, I had one free Saturday and wanted to make the most of it. After some thought, I booked with Wild Tours Ghana, hoping for my first rainforest experience at Kakum National Park and a historical tour of Cape Coast. Even though I contacted them only three days in advance, planning the trip was surprisingly easy. My main constraint was catching a 9:25 PM flight the same day. They confirmed it was possible but required a very early start, which I accepted. Lucie handled all arrangements, eased any concerns, and organized payment—50% upfront and the rest during the tour. At 4 AM on Saturday, my guide Chenti and a driver picked me up from my hotel. We left immediately to avoid Accra’s heavy traffic. Although Kakum isn’t far, a new highway is under construction, and with no alternate routes, everyone drives through the construction zones. I quickly understood why Wild Tours Ghana was cautious with timing: despite the rough, bumpy road, we reached Kakum in four hours—smooth by current standards. We arrived about 20 minutes before the park opened and were among the first to begin the famous Canopy Walk, accompanied by Chenti and a guide from the park. After a brief walk through the forest—which, thanks to the dense canopy, doesn’t immediately feel like a rainforest—we reached the canopy walk: seven bridges suspended high above the ground. Although the walk could be done in 10–15 minutes, rushing through would be a real loss. We spent over an hour there, and I appreciated that both Chenti and the park guide encouraged taking our time. Arriving early meant no crowds pushing us along. What struck me most was the near-total silence, broken only by birdsong. It’s hard to describe, but lingering on the bridges made me feel immersed in the forest. Chenti and the guide shared the experience with me as we talked about the forest, conservation policy, and its flora and fauna. On the walk back, Chenti bought me a fresh coconut to drink and fresh cocoa seeds to taste. Very nice! After the nature experience, we drove to Cape Coast for a guided tour of the castle, known for its history of slavery. A local guide led us through the site and explained its tragic past. Walking through those spaces leaves you quiet and reflective, but preserving these memories is essential to prevent such horrors from happening again. For me, it’s a must-see when visiting the region. Near the end of the visit, Chenti asked me to choose my lunch so it could be prepared in advance, saving time given my flight schedule. We walked to a nearby restaurant where I enjoyed a local dish, Chicken Red Red. By about 1:30 PM, we began the return drive to account for any delays. Traffic was much heavier, and with the ongoing construction, anything was possible. The ride was long and extremely bumpy, but I chose to see it as part of the experience. The roadside scenes offered a glimpse into daily life, and with Chenti answering all my questions, the trip became an informative and engaging way to learn more about the country and its people. In the end, we avoided major delays, and I was dropped at the airport around 4:30 PM—better safe than sorry. Overall, it was an amazing day, combining nature, history, and cultural insight, all thanks to Chenti’s guidance. Once the road construction is finished—likely next year—the travel time should decrease significantly. Part of me thinks this will change the experience somewhat, because as long and bumpy as the journey was, it also added its own value to the tour. I’m grateful to the Wild Tours Ghana team for organizing everything, keeping the timing on track, and giving me the best possible one-day experience in Ghana. I highly recommend them!

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.

Response from the operator: Thank you for experiencing Ghana with us! We are glad you enjoyed your trip. The journey to Cape Coast truly is an emotional one. Thank you for trusting us along the way. We hope to see you back in Ghana again to explore more of our beautiful country. Best! Wild Tours
