We will be hosted in the town of Tamale, in Northern Ghana, in secure and comfortable facilities. For a truly Ghanaian immersion experience, you have the exctiting opportunity of being hosted by one of our Ghanaian homestay families. While traveling on excursions, we will stay in clean, comfortable hotels. Lodging is double occupancy, unless otherwise indicated for supplemental cost.
Meals
Ghanaian food is absolutely amazing. On top of the wonderful tropical fruit that is always available, meals are often based on staples such as rice, cassava, plantains, yams, and corn. These mixed with delicious sauces and yummy spices, provide meals you will pine for long after you return home! We will eat a traditional home-cooked breakfast and dinner 'family style,' and for lunch and snacks you will have the opportunity to sample some of the best street food you've ever had. Vegetarians or others with special dietary requirements are more than welcome, and will be accommodated for at every meal.
Giving back
For those who feel so moved, we have special partnerships with several local NGOs, orphanages, schools, and other organizations in the Northern Region of Ghana. We can provide the opportunity to work with these groups and really make your trip to Africa a meaningful one. You can leave knowing that not only are you learning about a beautiful cultural artform, but that you are making a difference in people's lives that can last the rest of their lives.
