As a co-founder of Ghana Safari Tours, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Swedish partners and facilitate tours and trips across three West African countries: Ghana, Togo, and Benin. With over two decades of experience in the industry, I have made many lasting memories with more than 1000 travelers from around the world. As a member of the Africa Travellers Team since its inception as Amandani Tours Africa in 2016, I am dedicated to making all of your experiences in Ghana and its neighboring countries unforgettable.
