About the operator
- 308tuckerk00Most dependable driving company in AccraI can’t recommend this company enough! Our driver was on time and courteous. The rates were very competitive compared to other drivers we talked to. And the best part was that the owner of the company checked in with me several times just to ensure the trip was going as we hoped.
- 887delilahs00AMAZING VACATION!!!As soon as I was confirmed, our guide Nurudeen got in touch with me. He stayed in constant contact at all times. Once we met up with him, he took care of every single detail. We had night safaris, day safaris, walking safaris and a canoe safari! Our room at the wildlife refuge overlooked a watering hole where we woke up to elephants swimming! We went there on our walk and were very close to them! (But there is an armed Ranger who accompanied all visitors so we were always safe.) It was an amazing experience in a fabulous place. All the staff was friendly and helpful. We could not have had a better time! If there are any criticisms, it is that the motel could definitely add some variety to the menu and a little stronger water pressure in the showers. Minor inconveniences for the adventure of a lifetime. We felt taken care of and safe at all times. But we also felt like we really were in the wild. It was perfect. There were also side trips to the oldest mosque in Ghana and a shea butter making village! Thank you, TripAfrica and Nerudeen. I highly recommend this safari!
- Ekhinton62310012 Days experiencing the culture and history of Ghana (Central & Volta Region)The tour guides and drivers took such good care of each detail. The food was delicious and the memories are unforgettable. We have amazing pictures. Accommodations were wonderful. This was the best trip ever. The history learned, being in the villages, learning the Ghanian way was perfect. A good mix of excitement, history, leisure, and shopping. I highly recommend. Seeing the Kente weaving was so intriguing and requires such skill. We also traveled to a snake farm which was unforgettable. I highly recommend a visit to the Nzulenzu Village. I highly highly recommend!
- vaniabb00Trip of a Lifetime?Prior to traveling I had hoped that my trip to Ghana would be a once in a lifetime experience. But I was wrong. Because of Nuru-Deen and his team at Tripafrica Tours, Ghana is most certainly a travel destination that I aspire to revisit again and again. We experienced so many aspects of Ghana during our stay, from Accra, to the safari at Mole National Park, to the coastal towns Cape Coast and Elmina, that our travel group truly felt immersed in the culture and people of Ghana. Cooking and drumming lessons, transatlantic slave castle tours, a mosque visit, a village tour, the treetop canopy walkway (scary high but totally worth it), massages at sunrise on the beach... we experienced so much of what Ghana has to offer. If you are considering traveling with Tripafrica Tours, don't hesitate. Nuru-Deen and our driver George made us feel safe and cared for the entire trip and were always on time (even if we weren't always). Nuru-Deen is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions patiently and made us laugh along the way. He made sure we were comfortable in all of our accommodations and while traveling to each destination. Our travel guides were extremely personable and friendly from the outset and treated us as if we were long lost friends from the US. We left Ghana with memories that will last a lifetime and new friends we hope to see again soon.
- pearcejan00Superb three day private tour in Eastern and Volta RegionsMy husband and I had been planning a three day trip in the Eastern and Volta regions with a hired driver when I Tripafrica Tours was recommended to us. I am glad it was! We highly recommend this company, and are now planning our next tour with them! Babs Nurudeen was excellent to work with. He took my plan and crafted a reasonably-priced private tour with all of my activities. He regularly checked in and was very helpful throughout. The part of the tour that made the experience truly superb were the tour guide Ezekiel Ola and the driver James Okyere. They were both professional, helpful, personable, and flexible. James was very helpful in letting us know the condition of the roads in advance, and Eziekiel gave us a number of tour options to choose among in the various areas after calling ahead and finding out which waterfalls were running, etc. On Day 1, we visited Aburi Botanical Gardens; Tetteh Quarshie's Cocoa Farm, the first Cocoa Farm in Ghana; Boti Waterfalls, and Umbrella Walk. On Day 2, we took a boat tour on the Volta River and visited the Wli Waterfall, the highest waterfall in West Africa. On Day 3, we hiked Mount Afadja, the tallest mountain in Ghana and also visited the Shai Hills Reserve.
- marilyngM7532VE00Ghana AdventureHello the favorite part of our trip was the excellent accommodations and the excellent care that was given to us the entire time! Our tour guides were knowledgeable dependable always on time and very accommodating! We didn't want for anything and we learned so much! Thank you all so much for a memorable vacation and adventure and a much needed get away! I will h8ghly recommend your tour company to everyone.
- Camper28091000Unforgettable trip!I truly enjoyed our trip to Ghana. Nurudeen and TripAfrica Tours took good care of us during our time away. From our time in Accra, to Mole , and Cape Coast/Elmina we had new experiences. We were well treated everywhere that we wentOur drivers, James and George delivered us safely to our destinations. It is hard to pick one activity that I enjoyed the most. I will have to say that our last day in Elmina was my favorite day. We started our day with our visit to Elmina Castle, had our cooking lesson with Esi and proceeded with our drumming lesson with Issac. The day ended with a wonderful birthday dinner on the beach. I will treasure my time in Ghana
- sophiad6800Most memorable vacation!This was by far my most memorable vacation! I have been to Ghana before, but this trip is one I will never forget. My group of travelers started out in Accra, ventured to the north to safari at Mole National Park and the trip peaked at the coastal towns Cape Coast and Elmina. It was great to have seen such a variety of the beauty of Ghana from the bustling and energetic vibes of the city, the peaceful nature and landscapes of Mole and the stunning ocean/gulf views of the beach. Our main tour guide Nurudeen was personable, patient, and had a wealth of knowledge about the country and the attractions we visited. He even helped us capture the best pictures everywhere we went. We got really close to the elephants which was very exciting! Additionally, all of the guides for this tour were friendly and welcoming. Traveling with this company was fun and safe! I highly recommend them.
- w0r0kyad00Nuru and TripAfricaTours are jewelsNuru-Deen was the most amazing host anyone could have requested. There were 7 people on our family trip, from 72-10 years old. He and George (our driver) took care of us like we were part of their family. We went all over Accra and then traveled to Kumasi for a day that changed us for the better. Ghana is better because they are in it. We will be back to Ghana because of Nuru, his skill, his kindness, and his willingness to join us in adventure. The picture books we are making won’t do Justice to the experience. Thank you, Nuru. Thank you, George.
- salomem96700Visit to the MotherlandThis trip was without a doubt one of the nicest I've ever taken in my life. I wanted to celebrate my birthday in the Motherland and boy it was great!! My husband and I were very impressed with the teams of TripAfrica Tours, so helpful and efficient. Our 11-day itinerary was totally personalized to our likeness. Nurudeen our guide, worked with us to ensure everything about our trip suited our needs. His professionalism and knowledge of the tours is beyond compare, we felt safe with him. Also our driver George was very nice and friendly- such an experience driver. He knows Ghana from the top of his head, he is like a human GPS. No words can describe our grateful we are for the service provided by my guide and driver. Ghana is a beautiful country with beautiful people and I know I'll be back soon!!! Overall, Trip Africa Tours deserve 5 stars no other way to it. From pick up at the airport to the very end everything was perfect. Highly recommended!
- DrLisa200Wonderful trip to Ghana made better by TripAfica ToursNurudeen and his team were fantastic, Tony was our primary driver, and was so helpful and accommodating. I had serious flight problems through Amsterdam-- first my flight was cancelled and I was delayed for a day. Next my luggage was lost in Amsterdam by KLM for a full week. Tony drove me to stores to buy essentials several times. Nurudeen continuously followed up on my luggage with the airport, and knew that my luggage was in Accra two days before KLM did! He went above and beyond and retrieved my luggage for me. They reduced the stress of the airline mess immensely, and rearranged the trip to Tamale, including flights, so we could still go to Mole National Park. We created a custom trip that included Mole National Park, a walking and driving Safari, a trip to the Eco Village and oldest mosque, all in Tamale. In Kumasi we visited the Aburi Butterfly Gardens, In the Accra area we visited the beach, the Craft Market/cultural Center, the large street market (Makola), drove around the Ablogoshie Landfill (my request), Visited the Aburi botanical Gardens and the Shai Hills Preserve/Nature Park. I highly recommend Nuru and his team, The sites are great, they will customize for you, and they will help you sort things out when they don't go as planned. Even for a very experienced traveler like me, I was SO glad I had them working to provide me with the best possible trip at every step of the way! Highly recommend, and will use them again on my next visit.
- williev40000The trip of a lifetimeMy favorite part of My tour has to be the people of Ghana. The people everywhere we went were helpful ,friendly and our driver George along with our guide Nurudeen were excellent. The two were on time and very attenve to our needs all 8 days. It felt like We were visiting family.
- Discover5592378522400Ghana, Amazing Visit Planned By Tripafrica ToursOutstanding visit! From the first moment we spoke with Nurudeen until the day we left Ghana, Nurudeen was a consummate professional in every respect. Our trip was extremely detailed giving us the culturally rich and historically significant tour we were seeking. Nurudeen was very resourceful in adjusting our schedule as needed to ensure we were able to successfully accomplish the itinerary events we had planned. In addition to Nurudeen, special thanks is in order for our driver George. George was instrumental in ensure we were able to get to and from our hotel to each site, and transported us to each city safely and on time. The tandem of Nurudeen and George made this trip an absolute pleasure! Cape Coast, Kumasi, and Accra were the cities visited during our stay - Slave Dungeons, Slave River, Museums, Ashanti Village and naming ceremony were just a few of the events Nurudeen took us during our stay. Hotels and meals were incredible. Highly recommend anyone looking to visit Ghana contact Trip Africa Tours immediately to sort out their travel destinations.
- noahbC6009IC00Great And Memorable experienceMy friend and I had a 2 day tour of the Northern region with Trip Africa Tours, and I must say they were very exceptional and professional and always on time. We had a pleasant and memorable experience.

This was a beautiful trip from beginning to end. Nurudeen our tour guide was very attentive as he took time to capture and include request from all parties in the group. Nurudeen's professionalism is beyond reproach and hospitality is second to none.

A big praise to Nurudeen, we felt all around top care, he took care of everything. We were especially impressed by the forts in Elmina and Cape Coast. We have gained many impressions of the country and its people. The only drawback of this trip was the high humidity with which we had to fight.

Excellent tour organized by Tropicaafrica your. Nurudeen is friendly and careful person as well as Tony the driver.
The visited sites were carefully selected to match my request.
My recommendation is to avoid that selected beach as it is not clean for swimming or walk on the shore.
