Once in a lifetime journey to South Africa and Ghana
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Journey with Continent Tours Our trip to South Africa and Ghana, planned and organized by Continent Tours, was truly unforgettable. It was the kind of once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience that blends culture, history, and breathtaking sights into something you carry with you long after returning home. The itinerary was beautifully crafted, giving us a deep cultural immersion while still hitting all the major highlights in both countries. In Ghana, we were guided by Kweku Boateng and Jacob, both from Continent Tours, whose knowledge, warmth, and professionalism made every moment meaningful. Their passion for sharing Ghana’s history and traditions added so much depth to our experience. In South Africa, we were in the expert hands of Lovemore Ncube with Palace Travel. Lovemore’s insight, attention to detail, and genuine care elevated every stop, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. All three guides were exceptional. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication made the journey seamless and enriching from start to finish. If you’re looking for a travel company that delivers thoughtful planning, outstanding service, and unforgettable experiences, Continent Tours is an excellent choice. We returned home with full hearts, new perspectives, and memories we’ll cherish forever. Dr. Sandy, Frank and Friends

Ghana - A Trip of a Lifetime!
This tour was the most educational and the most enjoyable vacation we've been on celebrating our 35th anniversary! This was mostly due to Continent Tours representatives, Joseph, our driver and Elvis, our Tour Guide. The attention they paid to making our accomodations and travel thoughout Ghana was outstanding. Their ability to manage requested changes (and surprises) to our tour was masterful! If you want to be educated about Ghana with a safe and enjoyable team, this is the tour to take!

Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $11,500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.
Is Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Accra?
+
On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Accra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Accra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

Not included: • Travel insurance; • Personal expenses; • Gratuity for driver and guide; and . Flights. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Accra. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Cultural Tour Of Ghana And South Africa 12 Days offered in?
+
