Ghana expedition overview

The welcoming nation of Ghana makes it a perfect destination for a project based expedition. The team will experience a real cultural exchange during their project phase. Previous expedition teams have helped to build classrooms, paint or help with basic renovation.

The itinerary also makes time for one or two-day treks in the pretty countryside and before returning home the team will get a chance for some free time activities where they could choose to relax on the tropical coast, visit a turtle hatchery or explore one of the notorious 15th century European forts and castles that are characteristic of the country.
