Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about experiencing Ghana with AfriMart International Travel & Tours.

About Our Experiences

What does AfriMart International Travel & Tours offer?

We create passion-driven travel experiences in Ghana, including scheduled group experiences, private journeys, specialty travel, cultural experiences, faith-based travel, and custom itineraries. Our experiences are designed for travelers who want to do more than simply visit Ghana — they want to connect with it through something meaningful to them.

What does “passion-driven travel” mean?

It means your interests help shape the experience. Instead of starting with a standard sightseeing itinerary, we look at what you love — whether that is creativity, faith, textiles, food, dance, history, music, wellness, photography, heritage, or another meaningful interest — and connect that passion to Ghana.

Are your trips traditional sightseeing tours?

Not necessarily. While our itineraries may include important Ghanaian destinations and landmarks, our focus is on the experience itself. We want travelers to engage with Ghana, its people, culture, creativity, history, and communities in ways that feel personal and relevant to the purpose of their trip.

Who can travel with AfriMart?

Our experiences are designed for a wide range of travelers, including individuals, couples, families, friends, churches, schools, universities, organizations, professional groups, and specialty communities. You do not need to have Ghanaian heritage to experience Ghana with us.

Custom Ghana Experiences

Can AfriMart create a trip specifically for my group?

Yes. Custom travel is one of the ways we bring our approach to life. We can work with your group to build an itinerary around your interests, dates, group size, travel goals and preferred experience. This is particularly useful for families, churches, schools, universities, organizations and specialty groups.

Can I build a Ghana trip around a specific hobby or interest?

Absolutely. That is the foundation of our custom experience approach. A trip can be built around interests such as crochet and fiber arts, dance, food, faith, music, textiles, photography, history, entrepreneurship, wellness, art, heritage or another passion. We look for meaningful ways to connect that interest with Ghana.

Can AfriMart plan travel for a church, school or organization?

Yes. We can develop group experiences around the purpose of your organization. Depending on the group, an itinerary may incorporate cultural learning, heritage, faith, community connections, creative activities, educational experiences, or other goals identified during the planning process.

How do I request a custom Ghana experience?

Start by completing our Plan Your Ghana Experience form. This gives us the information we need to understand what you are looking for and determine how we can help build your experience.

Destinations & Experiences

Where in Ghana do your experiences take place?

Our experiences can take travelers to different parts of Ghana depending on the purpose and itinerary. This may include Accra, the Central Region and Cape Coast, Kumasi and the Ashanti Region, coastal communities, and other destinations throughout Ghana.

Do your experiences include Ghanaian culture and heritage?

Yes. Ghanaian culture, heritage and community connections are important parts of what we create. Depending on the experience, travelers may encounter Ghanaian food, textiles, music, dance, history, artisans, creative traditions, faith, markets, heritage sites and other aspects of everyday Ghana.

Do you only offer scheduled group trips?

No. We offer both scheduled experiences and custom private travel. Our scheduled experiences bring travelers together around a particular theme or passion, while custom travel allows us to build an experience specifically around an individual, family or group.

Booking & Planning

How do I book one of your scheduled experiences?

Each scheduled experience has its own booking information, pricing, payment schedule, inclusions and travel details. Visit the experience page for the specific trip you are interested in and follow the booking instructions provided there.

Are payment plans available?

Payment arrangements vary by experience. When a payment plan is offered, the applicable deposit, installment schedule and final payment deadline will be provided with that experience's booking information.

What is included in an AfriMart experience?

Inclusions vary from one experience to another. Depending on the trip, a package may include accommodations, ground transportation, activities, meals, special experiences, guides, transfers or other travel components. The individual experience page will identify exactly what is included and what is not.

Does AfriMart provide international airfare?

Some experiences may offer a flight-inclusive option, while others are land-only. Travelers should review the specific experience details to determine whether international airfare is included in the package they are considering.

How far in advance should I plan a custom trip?

We recommend starting as early as possible, especially for larger groups, custom itineraries and travel during popular seasons. More planning time gives us greater flexibility when coordinating accommodations, transportation, activities, special experiences and other elements of your itinerary.

For Travelers

Is AfriMart a good option for someone visiting Ghana for the first time?

Yes. Our experiences can be designed for first-time visitors as well as travelers who already know Ghana. We help first-time visitors experience Ghana beyond simply moving from one attraction to another, while returning travelers can use our custom approach to discover something new.

Can I travel with AfriMart if I am traveling alone?

Yes. Solo travelers can participate in eligible scheduled experiences, and we can also discuss creating a private itinerary for an individual traveler.

Can families travel with AfriMart?

Yes. Family travel can be planned around the ages, interests and needs of the family. For custom trips, we can work with you to create an itinerary that gives different generations opportunities to enjoy Ghana together.

Do I have to participate in every activity?

Participation depends on the specific experience. Some activities may be central to the itinerary, while others may offer more flexibility. We encourage travelers to review the itinerary carefully and communicate any questions or concerns during the planning process.

Do I need to be Ghanaian or have African heritage to participate?

No. Our experiences are for anyone who wants to experience Ghana. We welcome travelers from different backgrounds and create opportunities to engage with Ghanaian culture and communities respectfully.

Preparing for Ghana

Do I need a visa to travel to Ghana?

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality and circumstances. Travelers are responsible for determining whether they need a visa and for obtaining the appropriate travel authorization before departure. We recommend confirming current requirements with the appropriate Ghanaian authorities before traveling.

Will AfriMart provide information to help me prepare for my trip?

Yes. Travelers receive applicable trip information and preparation guidance as part of the planning and booking process. The information provided will depend on the specific experience and may include itinerary details, arrival information, what to expect, transportation information and other important travel guidance.

Can you accommodate accessibility needs?

We strive to make our experiences as inclusive as possible. Accessibility can vary depending on the destination, accommodation, transportation and activity. If you have specific accessibility needs, please let us know during the planning process so we can determine what arrangements are possible.

Payments, Changes & Cancellations

What happens after I make my booking?

After booking, you will receive the applicable confirmation and next-step information for your experience. As the travel date approaches, additional trip information will be provided so you know what to expect and how to prepare for your journey.

Can I cancel my trip?

Cancellation terms vary by experience and are provided as part of the booking terms. Because travel arrangements may involve commitments to accommodations, transportation, venues and other providers, some payments may be non-refundable. Always review the cancellation policy for your specific experience before booking.

Can I change the details of my booking?

Changes may be possible depending on the experience, timing and arrangements already made. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to make a change so we can determine what options are available.
