No. Ghana, Togo and Benin are all ECOWAS member states, so Ghanaian passport holders travel visa-free — just carry a passport valid 6+ months. Our team handles all border formalities for the group at Aflao and Hillacondji.

Carry your yellow-fever vaccination card — it is checked at the Togo and Benin border posts. Travel insurance is recommended and we can arrange it with your booking.

We accept bank transfers, mobile money and major debit or credit cards, and installment plans are available. A deposit secures your coach seat; the balance is due 4 weeks before departure.

Absolutely. Dates, hotels, activities and group size can all be tailored to fit your budget and travel style — just tell us what you have in mind.

The nonstop flight from Accra made all the difference — we landed fresh. Souq Waqif in the evening and the Inland Sea safari were unforgettable.
