West Africa Tours & Trips
It's time to visit Cotonou's lively Haie Vive neighborhood, where markets are full of color. Canoe through the Adjara Black River while animals call from thick vegetation, and visit the one-of-a-kind stilt village of Ganvie on Lake Nokoue, where whole communities live on the water. Follow the sad historic Route of the Slaves in Ouidah, and hike to the top of Mount Gemi in Ghana for amazing views.

My wife and I really enjoyed this private tour through 4 countries in West Africa which also included the Ouidah Voodoo Festival in Benin. Our driver/guide organised everything perfectly for us and appointed local guides for the major attractions in each place. We take away with us a true experience of a lifetime together with a deep insight into the past, present and future of this part of the amazing African continent.

Olives Travel and Tour Ghana directed by Prince Adam was a great tour and life changing. Prince navigated us through the highlights of our west African tour of Ghana, Togo and Benin. Whether it was immigration board crossing into Togo or visiting the communities on the Ganvie lake village in Benin, the experience was life changing. The historical lessons learn will forever be our heart... we will return hopefully next year to explore more. Steve and Willa

The UNESCO-listed Royal Palaces of Abomey reveal centuries of West African history, and you'll see sacred pythons at Ouidah's Python Temple before heading to Ghana's haunting Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle from 1482. Ganvié, a floating village on Lake Nokwe, offers a unique glimpse of stilt-house life, with stays at MGA Residence in Benin and Sonia Hotel in Accra.

Cape Coast Castle's UNESCO-listed dungeons tell the story of enslaved Africans, then you'll cross 300-year-old suspension bridges on Kakum National Park's Canopy Walkway high above the rainforest. Ankasa Reserve Lodge sits in Ghana's best rainforest, and you'll reach remote Nzulezu Village by dugout canoe, plus see Sokodé's ancient horse and fire dances and Koutammakou's mud homes.

Best time to visit West Africa
- Spring 2026
Spring in West Africa is all about natural wonders and cultural connections while the weather's still mild. Our tours run 14-17 days across multiple countries, giving you time to properly understand each place. You'll learn batik-making with Global Mamas artisans, trek to waterfalls in Ghana's Volta region and explore the powerful history of Cape Coast Castle. What makes these trips special is the variety - you might spend one day cooking with a local family and then find yourself gliding through Ganvie's floating markets by pirogue the next.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours flow with the warmer weather, mixing in more water activities and early morning outings. The full journeys last 14-17 days across several countries, with clever ways to stay cool. Early visits to Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, boat rides on Lake Nokoue to see Ganvie's stilt houses and afternoon workshops with master craftspeople fill your days. Our TourRadar customers tell us they like how the schedule works around the heat while keeping all the cultural experiences intact.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings perfect conditions for discovering West Africa. Our top tours run 14-21 days through Ghana, Togo, Benin and also Côte d'Ivoire. The weather's just right for hiking Mount Gemi in the Volta region, walking the Route of Slaves in Ouidah and exploring local markets full of spices and crafts. You'll join authentic voodoo ceremonies, learn about chocolate-making at FairAfric Ghana and spend time with local families who share their everyday traditions - it's these genuine connections that make these trips really special.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Our most popular West African trips happen in winter - the dry season when everything just works better for exploring. The tours take you through Ghana, Togo, Benin and sometimes into Côte d'Ivoire over 14-17 well-planned days. TourRadar customers love getting hands-on with local culture, whether they're learning to cook in Cape Coast homes, joining community drum circles or exploring Ganvie's fascinating water villages. The cooler weather makes it really pleasant to walk Kakum National Park's canopy bridges and discover the craft villages scattered through Ghana's Ashanti region.
