Guide to Ghana is a local-first travel marketplace. We're a small team of Ghanaians and long-time residents who book the tours, stays and drivers we'd send our own families on.
Ghana is one of the warmest, most rewarding countries in the world to visit. It is also a country where most tours, stays and drivers are still booked over WhatsApp, paid in cash, and confirmed by the kind of luck that doesn't scale. We built Guide to Ghana to change the second part without losing the first.
Every operator on the platform is Ghana-registered. Every guide is local to their region. Every cedi you spend stays here. We take a small commission to keep the lights on; we publish what it is on every booking page.
From street-food crawls to elephant safaris — every one personally vetted.
Ghana-registered, GTA-licensed. We meet them before listing.
★ 4.8 average. Every review tied to a real booking.
No expat-led "African experiences." Every guide on the platform is from the region they show you.
Our commission is published on every booking page. No surprise fees, no inflated airport-shuttle fares.
WhatsApp +233 replies within 12 hours — usually under 30 minutes. No offshore call centers, no chatbot triage.
Reserve any tour without paying. We confirm with the operator, then send you a secure payment link.
Most of Ghana runs on MTN MoMo, not Stripe. We accept both — and a dozen others (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, AirtelTigo, Telecel, bank transfer). Pay how you actually pay.
We're 14 people in a converted house on Liberation Road, plus 80 partner operators across the 16 regions.

Yes. Most of our larger trips start as a "tell us your dates & vibe" message. Within 12 hours we send a draft itinerary — free, no commitment. Most travellers book the draft as-is.
Both. We run a handful of trips ourselves (mostly Cape Coast, Mole, and Detty December packages). For the rest we partner with 80 vetted local operators across the country.
Email partners@guidetoghana.com with your GTA registration, sample itineraries, and one reference traveler. We meet in person before listing.
If an operator cancels or fails to deliver as described, we refund or rebook at our cost. We strongly recommend separate travel insurance for medical, flight, and personal-property cover.
