By Rita W for 10 Day Ghana Experience on Dec 19, 2024

An unforgettable experience. From the moment we exited the airport, we received personal assistance in every way. Everyday was filled with events that were memorable as well as historical. The food was delicious and varied. Restaurants were indicative of the culture and ,accommodations were modern clean and safe. No fear of crime, disorder nor diseases. Highly recommended for all ages because I am 83 and our guides took special care of me and they would do the same for all regardless of age. DON’T MISS THIS TRIP

There are not even enough words to describe the amazing trip my Husband and I had with Certified Africa here in Ghana. They answered all our questions and concerns ahead of time and provided all the necessary information for travel to Africa. Once on the ground they gave us days full of culture and love from the Certified Africa staff and the local people of Ghana. If you want to experience Ghana not just Accra. Book with Certified Africa. Thank you again Nii and Kristin and Team for all your hard work. No detail was left out. Felicia Parsons 2020 NYE in the Motherland Trip
