Masquerading & Edina Bronya Festivals

We had the most amazing 6-day tour of Ghana, including highlights, such as Jamestown (Accra), Kwame Nkrumah Monument, the Ashanti Kingdom, kente cloth weaving, the slave castles in Elmina and Cape Coast, as well as the rain forest canopy walkway at Kakum National Park (see the video). The team at EasyTrack Ghana (and specifically Jessie Aboagye, our guide) were EXCEPTIONAL!!! If I could give more than 5-stars, I would. From booking and customizing our tour, to our actual travels in Ghana, everything was seamless and perfect. I highly recommend EasyTrack Ghana to anyone visiting Ghana. You will not be disappointed.

A homecoming with heart
I did a tour as a Diaspora returner from Canada of Caribbean descent coming home to Ghana, and I was by myself as I was doing funded research of my experiences. I had my guide, Julius, to myself, and he was fantastic. I don’t know how I would have done this without him. He was a very good driver and always very attentive to my needs. It was a very emotional and intense trip for me, and I so appreciloved his kindness. As a woman travelling alone, he was invaluable in keeping me safe and helping me get fair prices with merchants. The ceremonies (Outdooring, ancestral river and Door of Return) were so moving and meaningful for me. I loved the structure of the tour. It balanced the hard, sad experiences with more light and joyful ones. I loved learning about the ancestral practices of my people, the Ashanti, and getting to try out kente cloth weaving and Adinkra stamping. The Ashanti palace was another highlight. Cape Coast Castle and Elmina were the reason for my trip and they were wrenching, but leading up to them with the ancestral river put them in the context of return, hope and healing. I am so glad I went. The ancestral river was the best part of my tour and I will never forget the release from trauma I found there. The trip to Kakum National Park was amazing. The natural beauty of Ghana was on full display and I faced my fears and went on the canopy walkway! As to the hotels… all were great, and each more spectacular than the last. The food was fantastic everywhere. No problem finding vegetarian options. Check in at each hotel and each attraction and tour went smoothly. The cultural performance at the end was spectacular and really showcased the creativity of the Ghanaian people. Ghana is a beautiful, safe and hospitable country and it is now my home too, and I will be back. Thank you Easy Track.

Great tours! Easy to organize in advance
Did a waterfalls tour and cooking class. Both were very enjoyable, the cooking class was extra special. Very easy to organize well in advance from out of the country compared to some of the more informal tour operators.

Easy Track Ghana made our tour around Ghana amazing and easy
I can definitely recommend doing a guided tour with Ease Track Ghana! My boyfriend and i did a 5 day tour where we went from Accra to Kumasi to Cape Coast and then back to Accra for our flight home. The planning process went smooth and we felt secure the whole way through. Questions were always answered and payments were quickly confirmed. We could also see the full itinerary as well as updates in payments, guides and booking on our personal booking site. We had Mike as our guide and he was excellent through the whole trip. Communication went well and we felt safe on the whole tour. The driving in Ghana is definitely different from what we are used to in Europe, but we felt safe in the car at all times. We got to experience a good variety of history, culture and nature and Mike was also great at picking up on our personal preferences and ensuring that we saw and experienced what we liked. One thing to note is that the tour involved a bit more time driving around than what we initially thought. But seeing the country from the car windows was an experience in itself.

3 day trip to Capecoast and Elmina
This easter we had a wonderfull trip to cape coast and stay at Elmina Coconut Grove Beach Resort. We where very happy with our Mid-range accommodations at the resort.

Great comunication with Ebenezer during booking, and itinary planning in the months/weeks before our trip. He was very accomadating when we wanted to add an extra day in the already proposed itinarary.

Our guide and driver was, Julius Livingstone. He was very friendly and service minded. On our extra day he took us everywhere we wanted to go. And along the way he helped us with the ghanaien customs and the do's and dont's, which was very much appreciated. We would love to have him as a guide again. Highly reccomend him if your lucky enough to get him as your driver/guide.

excellent experience with easy track!
words cannot describe the fantastic experience we had with easy track all the way from booking to the end of the tour. let's start with ebenezer. i worked with him to customize a 3 day private tour. he was the most thoughtful, responsive and customer-focused agent i have ever worked with, and i've done tons of international travel. i love that they create a personal tour webpage just for you when you book. and their prices are more than reasonable for everything you get.

let's talk about the tours themselves. for 3 days, we had a private driver / guide named jessie who was fantastic. he accommodated our every need, was very personable, knowledgeable, funny and sharp! the man was dressed like a million dollars every day, even though it was 115+ degrees with the heat index! he was so attentive, that he would recognize when we were getting tired, so he would adjust things on the fly (with our permission) so that we didnt over extend ourselves.

for reference, here's everything we booked / saw with our tours
day 1: Posuban Shrine, Cape Coast Castle, Door Of Return, Assin Manso
day 2: Elmina Castle, Fishing Village, Kakum National Park & Canopy Walk
day 3: Aburi Gardens, Craft Market, Durbar of Chiefs

if you are going to ghana, you absolutely MUST book with easy track!!!

Good pre-travel arrangements, good tour guide
Our first trip to Ghana was smooth and comfortable. Before the trip, the arrangements were custom tailored to our budget, interests, and timeline. Our tour guide (Mike) met us at the airport and remained attentive, flexible, and kind throughout the trip. There were no issues rearranging plans to accommodate last minute meetings with friends or addressing minor injuries (first aid kit and epipen were available). One minor downside was that some costs (hotel lodging, transportation) were unclear. That could be improved by including an itemized list of expenses upon booking. All in all, this was a great trip and we would recommend Easy Track to family and friends.

Accra City Tour, La Beach
We visited Kwame Nkrumah Monument (climbed to the top), Independence Square (massive and impressive), Jamestown (very sad history through a walking tour), WEB DeBois Center (amazing to learn it was his last house and final resting plac)., and ended our day at La Pleasure beach where we enjoyed delicious jumbo pawns.

Cannot name any one best part of our experience. We liked all of our tour sites very much and cannot imagine that our trip could have been better! From planning to booking to guidance and tours, this company is superb!

The most amazing and unforgettable experience!
We planned a 15 day journey to Ghana, but we were not too sure how to travel and what to see . Easytrack offered us a tailor made tour that was perfect for us. With two amazing guides (Mike and Adams) we travelled in the North, South and West of Ghana. The guides have extensive knowledge of the country and could bring us to places we would not have found on our own. We loved the diversity we've seen in nature, people and culture. We had the most amazing and unforgettable experience travelling with Easy Track, i would highly recommending travelling with them.

Excellent Excursion
Our family of four (parents plus 13yo and 11yo) went on a 21 day tour of sites in both northern and southern Ghana -- including the Pikworo Slave Camp, the Slave Defence Wall, Kintampo Falls, the Ashanti Palace in Kumasi, the Ancestral slave river site at Assin Manso, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle, and more. And, overall, we had an absolutely amazing experience and a wonderful time. Easy Track Ghana took care of all of our accomodations -- not only room and board, but also water and snacks. Our guides and drivers -- Ebenezer, Adams, Philip, Tim, and Mohammed -- were all absolutely wonderful and very kind, and went out of their way each day to help us have the best experience we could. They were a pleasure to work with.Ghana itself is absolutely gorgeous, and encompasses a diversity of climates and terrains. Our trip was in the drier season (although many folks mentioned that it was wetter than normal -- most likely due to climate change), which I personally think contributed to how well our trip went -- for the most part we did not have to deal with mud. By far the people we met were quite friendly overall; however, I found the folks in the north (Bolgatanga area especially) to be authentically curious about us, whereas it felt more like folks in the south were more wise in the ways of interacting with tourists -- especially those who might have disposable income to share. I would highly recommend visiting the northern regions for these reasons. If you are considering going, here are some things that we wish we'd known before we'd left:1. Exchanging money is not quite as easy or straightforward in Ghana as it is in the US or Europe; make sure you have recent bills, as we found that the exchange rate would change based upon how long ago our bills had been printed -- sometimes by more than 25%.2. Tipping (or "dash") is an entire cultural point; in this, your guide(s) may not be as helpful as you might like in providing feedback. In general I would suggest that you ask your guide directly if they will be providing tips at the locations you visit. You may still want to add your own supplemental tip in addition, but it's good information to have regardless. Tips for your local guides (at specific attractions) are separate from those for your tour guides and drivers.3. Food takes a long time to prepare at restaurants. We generally found the food to be absolutely wonderful, but we were often waiting a half-hour or more for it to arrive. Don't wait until you're starving to eat.4. Mosquitos are a huge concern. One of the "resorts" we stayed at did not have mosquito nets over the beds (just cans of bug spray), and the door had large gaps and holes (directly to outside); needless to say, our entire family was covered in bites the entire time we were there. Make sure you have adequate protection against bug borne diseases, as you may not always have nets.

Coffin Workshop Tour
I took the half day coffin workshop tour on my first day in Ghana. I really appreciated the pickup and drop off at my hotel. My driver Mohammed was friendly with me and careful in his driving. My guide Ebenezer was knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour and carver were fascinating and I had a great time! I also enjoyed (and was surprised at) all the information available on their website on such topics as tipping, communicating with locals, bargaining and handling uncomfortable situations. Great company! I only wish I found them sooner in my trip planning process!!!

great day trip
We went to Shai Hills and the waterfall. Our tour guide in the park was excellent as was out tour guide/driver. We saw many fascinating animals and walking the Savannah was spectacular. Our driver/guide Kwame was very accommodating

Perfect and well organized trip
I did a 4 day birding tour to Mole, a day in Shail Hills and a day at Sakumono lagoon. It was absolutely fantastic in every aspect. Great guides, well organized, food and accommodation, great. Birds mind blowing! It was the second time I have used Easy Track and both times were fantastic!

6 days along the coast of Ghana
We really recommend Easy Track Ghana. 6 days touring with my 3 kids. They enjoyed every minute of it. We will cherish those memories. Extremely professional services from start to end. Jojo was the most charming and kind guide. Let's hope we can come back soon!

An excellent Volta tour for our family
The EasyTrack staff and our guide Jojo were excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. We toured the eastern Volta region: artisan crafts, Wli Falls, Keta Lagoon, over 6 days. We felt that we connected with both people and geography by travelling with EasyTrack. A wonderful country to visit - very accessible Africa!

2 weeks in Ghana with our family of 6
We spent 2 weeks with Easy Track Ghana and had a wonderful time. Adam Yussif, our guide for northern Ghana, was especially good!

An amazing Cape Coast tour
We did a four day Cape Coast tour (three days touring and one relaxing at Coconut Grove Resort). Mike was our host and we could not have been happier. Being from Cape Coast we saw and experienced things that only a local would know.

Our first stop was a Posinan shire in Mankessim. After having just starting to read a book on the history of Ghana it was very interesting to hear a local elder explain its meaning and significance. Cape Coast Castle was truly an emotional eyeopener not to be missed. We now have a far better appreciation of its impact on those who passed through. Not to be missed.We enjoyed the sights and thrill of the walkway in Kakum. Thankfully, as I clung to the ropes, Mike was braver and took some video/photos on the bridge. Well worth doing. The Stingless bee facility was a pleasant and very interesting surprise. A knowledgeable young man taught us about the bees and the center itself.

Mike’s biggest surprise was the cultural experience”. In honesty I was expecting some type of hotel floor show. Was I ever wrong! Mike picked us up after supper and we drove a very short distance to a nearby hotel. On entering only five chairs were laid out. This was a performance of the Akemapa Dance Group, a group of very talented young local performers. It was one of the highlights of the trip. We were so grateful to see such energy and pure joy in their music and dance. What talent!!!

We saw Fort San Jago overlooking Elima Castle and fishing lagoon. The Fort had an incredible view of the ships heading out for the night. What an amazing sight. I was fascinated with the lagoon and its boats. Mike knew the perfect time to visit!

Coconut Grove Resort was great. Wonderful pool, beach and well maintained beautiful grounds. One of our goals was to relax….which we definitely did!!! The resort has a nice 18 hole course and we played several times. Restaurant food and service was all very good. I’m hooked on their coconut chips!!! It was Christmas time so the resort was full but didn’t have a sense of holiday madness…was quite calm. Lots of families with children enjoying the holidays. Though very happy with accommodations next time I would ensure a sea or garden view. Our room was wedged between a brick wall and building wall with air conditioner units. No view and little light. But we did book relatively late and it was Christmas so it we just were grateful that Eric could get us in and just to be there. We both would go back in a heartbeat. Wonderful resort.

Over the years we’ve travelled quite a bit. Eric at Easy Track was very flexible and helpful ensuring we had an unrushed and relaxed tour. Thanks to him for the idea of an extra day to relax. Mike was a fantastic guide tuning into our interests and enhancing the tour. An example….He knew we like art and artists and introduced us to his friend whose studio is next to Cape Coast Castle. We had a wonderful visit and purchased a couple stunning works. He was patient answering our many questions also. In hindsight had we done the trip on our own we would have missed out on so much. Mike really was a godsend.

Having never visited Africa before we can wholeheartedly recommend Easy Track for your travel plans. If there were more stars to give we definitely would. We felt in the very best of hands with Eric, Steve and Mike.

Thank you for a memorable tour!!!!

Your guiding star in Ghana
I was very impressed with the service and the friendly attitude. Guys are flexible as much as you need. I took a sightseeing tour of Accra and a visit to a shaman and everything was just superb!

Great Tour operator
Loved the team and professionalism of teh tour guides. Was it a perfect 10? No, not always but I don’t expect it to be. I felt safe and taken care of. Tour guides were there to pick us up on time and helpful and friendly. We had a blast and lot of fun during the tours. Will definitely use them again on my next trip to this magnificent country!

Mole National Park Safari & Tour
Using Easy Track Ghana to arrange our 4 day Safari and Tour to Mole National Park and the northern region of Ghana was easy. Flying from Accra to Tamale early in the morning was a good decision. Our driver Jesse picked us up (all part of our package, at different locations, there was no traffic to deal with and the airport was quiet. The start of our vacation went well.

The flight was approximately 45 minutes without delays. The airport is small but our luggage appeared fairly quickly. As we exited the airport, Adam, our guide was waiting outside with cool water ready to go. Our driver, Omar was waiting in the parking lot. So that was easy!

Of the three nights and 4 days there were many highlights. Paddling in canoes searching for hippos in the Wechiau region was exciting. Since it was the rainy season we could only see the top of their heads at a comfortable distance away. During the drier season, also much hotter at this time, you can experience more of the Hippos at this sanctuary.

During our driving safaris we saw two enormous elephants. Absolutely amazing. Their foot prints are massive! Well worth the wait and we saw many other animals on all days. But my favourite activity is the early morning safari walks. I would do this every morning regardless. What a great way to start your day. We stayed at the Zaina Lodge, had a 6am enormous breakfast which sustained us for hours and at 6:30 am Adam and Omar took us to the Mole National Park headquarters and meet up with our guide for the walk or headed to a sanctuary in some other location. At the end of our day we would head out for a swim at the Lodge in their infinity pool overlooking the park and sip on our evening beverage. The lodge was outstanding and the service was excellent. Very personable staff and accommodating.

Our guide was Adam and I cannot say enough about him. Very personable, knowledgeable, especially with local information and well respected guide wherever we went. Ask for Adam and Omar!
