Question 1

Is Ghana safe for tourists from the USA and Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ghana is one of West Africa's safest and most stable countries, and hundreds of thousands of North American visitors travel there each year. Normal big-city precautions apply, and travelling with us adds 24/7 local support from arrival to departure.

Question 2

Do US and Canadian citizens need a visa for Ghana?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a Ghana visa (or e-visa) is required and typically issues within two to three weeks. After you book, we walk you through the exact requirements, paperwork and timeline so nothing holds up your departure.

Question 3

What exactly is included in an all-inclusive Sankofa Journey?

Accepted Answer

Your round-trip flights (selected with our flight finder at booking), accommodation, breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day (plus lunch at the hotel on rest days), all in-country ground transport in a private coach matched to your group size, dedicated guides, every park and site entry fee, festival and event access, and built-in rest days. On touring days you're out exploring, so lunch outside the hotel is at your own expense — beyond that, there are no hidden local fees.

Question 4

Are flights included?

Accepted Answer

Yes — flights are part of your all-inclusive journey. At booking, use our flight finder to select your round-trip flights to Kotoka International Airport (Accra) for your travel dates, and your concierge confirms the itinerary before you travel. Everything from the moment you land to the moment you fly home is on us.

Question 5

Can I pay in installments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every journey supports an automatic monthly payment plan based on your departure date — reserve your seat with a deposit and the balance divides evenly across the months remaining before you fly.

Question 6

Do you show prices in Canadian dollars?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Canadian visitors automatically see live USD-to-CAD conversions on pricing and can pay in Canadian dollars at checkout — no guessing at exchange rates. Travellers outside Canada see clean USD pricing.

Question 7

When is the best time to visit Ghana?

Accepted Answer

November to March offers the driest, most comfortable weather. December is peak season — the famous Detty December festivities — while April to October is greener, quieter and more affordable. Our guides cover the trade-offs in detail.

Question 8

Can I book for a group, church or family reunion?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — cohort travel is our specialty. Groups travelling together get dedicated departure groups, coordinated seating and a single concierge contact. Use the group booking form and we'll set up a departure around your party.

Question 9

How does the 10% early-bird discount work?

Accepted Answer

Book any journey by September 30, 2026 and you automatically save 10% off the list price — the discounted rate is already reflected on every package card, so there's no coupon to enter. After the deadline, journeys return to full price.

Question 10

Why can't I see the journey prices?

Accepted Answer

Journey pricing is members-only. Creating a free account unlocks full per-person pricing, Canadian dollar conversions, departure availability and your booking dashboard — it takes under a minute.

Question 11

Can I earn credit by referring friends and family?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our Refer & Earn program pays you 5% of every payment your referrals make toward their journeys, credited automatically as they pay. Credits can be put toward your own journey, and enough referrals can fund a trip entirely. Find your personal referral link on the Refer & Earn page in the site menu.
