About this trip

December in Ghana is legendary.  Hailed as the Gateway to Africa, Ghana will be jam packed with cultural events from the North to the South.  It's when the Diaspora comes home to enjoy activities that display the heartbeat of Africa  - its music, art, food and culture.  December is also the time when AfroFuture (formerly Afrochella takes place), AfroNation and the Black Star Line Festival take place.  These annual festivals aims to tell the story of Africa through food, culture, music and fashion.  It is a festival aimed at reconnecting the Diaspora to Ghana.  Our tours are unique combination of culture and tradition.  Party, yes, but imparting the culture and tradition are a must if you travel all the way to the Motherland.  Your tour will be hosted and expertly guided by the founder of HIM Tours, Daniel Okpoti, a tourism professional with more than 20 years experience.  A native of Ghana, Daniel is also an expert trader and jewelry designer.  Let us handle the details so that your pilgrimage back home will be a trip that changes your life.

Absolutely great trip. Our hosts did a fantastic job of making sure I participated and enjoyed all the events ( I'm 81 ). They put together a remarkable itinerary for my daughter's 60th birthday. We immersed our minds and body into the Ghanaian culture. We visited historical museums, cooked traditional cuisines, had traditional dresses made by local seamstress, made chocolate, pampered with body and foot massages and enjoyed beautiful beaches on the coastline. I was given my African name in a Ghanaian home ceremony by the village elders. I highly recommend H.I.M. They took care of all our needs. Thanks for an unforgettable experience.

This trip was just simply amazing! I have wanted to travel to Africa for so many years and I am blessed that this was my first experience. Monica and Okoe were the best hosts and travel guides that I could every ask for. Ghana was wonderful. I learned so much about our history and culture and I felt at home! Thank you HIM Tours for an awesome experience!

This was the most amazing trip of my life. I celebrated my 78th birthday in Ghana. Daniel Okoe Okpoti was an incredible guide, protector and negotiator for our sales transactions. Monica, his wife, sent us a questionnaire to ascertain what our interests were, and where we wanted to go. Some of us were there for seven days, some for 11 days and some for three weeks. H.I.M. tours managed to accommodate all of our desires.. we even took an unscheduled day trip to Kumasi, where they make kente cloth and Adinkra symbols. It was a wonderful wonderful day. Daniel got great prices for the exchange rate, which was 11.88 cidis to $1., on our first day. The second day we went to the seamstress to be measured and then to buy fabric. Daniel, made sure that our clothes would be ready by the time we left. We stayed at great hotels. The food at all of the restaurants was delicious. Daniel gave us a true picture of Ghanaian culture and history. He is passionate about sharing Ghanian history with us, which I greatly appreciated. We went to the compounds and visited with real people., not just the usual tourist attractions. My cousins celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a Ghanaian renewal ceremony. It was a wonderful experience. Daniel even planned for drummers and dancers as we entered and exited the compound for the wedding ceremony. This was an unexpected surprise to the bride and groom. The people were gracious and hospitable, and even provided lunch for us. We were welcomed warmly, and instructed that we were now family. I’d love to go back for my 80th birthday. H.I.M. Tours went above, and beyond anything we could have imagined. If you’re considering visiting Ghana, I highly recommend H.I.M. Tours. You will not regret it. Daniel’s and Monica, job well done. ❤️ ***Note:: ladies wear, skirts or dresses. Trust me! Phyllis Bell Atlanta, Georgia USA

As the leader of this trip, I am VERY pleased with the caliber of service provided by HIM Tours. While this was my 4th trip to Ghana (2000, 2006, 2019), I worked with HIM Tours diligently for months to ensure that it was a life-transforming experience for the 23 family members, friends and friends of friends who joined me in celebration of my BIG 7-0. Based on comments shared with me throughout the tour and in our What’s App chat even since it ended, the vast majority of the travelers LOVED the trip. Although there were a few missteps when moving 24 people around a large portion of Ghana, I still recommend HIM Tours with enthusiasm! The luxurious Kempinksi Hotel in Accra with its fabulous buffets and the elegant Oak Plaza Suites in Kumasi were outstanding accommodations. The rustic Coconut Grove Beach Resort was beautifully-situated on the shores of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, but we were disappointed with the poor quality of the rooms and HIM Tours will be in touch with the management to share our concerns. HIM Tours was extremely accommodating of our large group and worked overtime to ensure that our expressed needs were met. I am grateful that travelers had life-transforming experiences and made new friends for a lifetime!
