GHANA CULTURAL SAFARI AND DENTAL MISSION TRIP.

8 DAYS

About this trip.

Safari N Smiles – Ghana March 2027
Dates: March 23– 30, 2027

Explore the rich cultural heritage of Ghana while digging deep into its history. Do a Safari and give back to the friendly locals by supporting a local children’s orphanage. 

They say that Ghana is near the “center” of the world, enough reason for those bitten by the travel bug to visit this African nation. This country is bordered by the Gulf of Guinea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the less-traveled Togo, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast, one of the most beginner-friendly African destinations.

 

Thanks to the coast, this West African nation has a warm climate that attracts sun-worshippers. Beyond the shores, it has grasslands, shrublands, forests, savannahs, and mangroves where wildlife thrives. Its bustling urban centers are places of awe, too.

Tourists who plan to swim, stroll the city, or be within lush forests will have a good time in Ghana.

Especially if you have chosen Safari N Smiles as your travel partner.

The park is made up of mostly undisturbed virgin tropical rainforest, protecting rare plant and animal species of the African rainforest ecosystem. It is a top destination for nature lovers, birdwatching enthusiasts, and adventure travelers exploring Ghana safari tours.

The famous Canopy Walkway, suspended 30 meters above the forest floor, provides breathtaking treetop views of the tropical forest.


Cape Coast Castle
Cape Coast Castle is one of the largest and most historically significant European-built castles in Ghana. Built by the Portuguese in 1555 on the former Gold Coast, it later served as a colonial administrative center and British headquarters.
