Ghana is a West African destination like no other: it is a politically stable, English-speaking nation that is acknowledged as the friendliest country in the region. It is also one of the safest countries in which the Upper Guinea forest block, an internationally recognised Endemic Bird Area, can be accessed, and our birding tour of Ghana allows for a thorough exploration of the most exciting West African birding habitats. From Guinea savanna to lush rainforest, we will see much of what Ghana has to offer, promising a truly impressive bird tally and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our days in this wonderful country will be spent ambling forested trails, scanning for canopy species from a fabulous walkway, and exploring vast tracts of deciduous woodland. Typical African families such as turacos, barbets, sunbirds and greenbuls are particularly well represented, yielding a colourful and interesting bounty of species. Furthermore, we also have the opportunity to see one of Africa’s most highly sought-after birds – the fabled White-necked Rockfowl!

What our clients say about us

André Bernon
CL & RL, Ghana 2020

Andre proved to be an excellent lead guide and was very well supported by Mark. They had a very good knowledge of the birds of Ghana and knew where to look for them and how to locate them. They got on well and provided us with excellent company. We were very pleased with our bird list, with many rare and highly desirable species. The Picathartes was the major reason we went to Ghana and was, for us, the highlight of the trip and the views were superb.

Glen Valentine
JR, Ghana - Rockfowl & Upper Guinea specials (Small Group) 2025

Glen and Francis did excellent jobs organizing us, getting us fed, and getting us to good spots. The dry conditions made the birding difficult but we saw lots of good stuff and there were plenty of good photo ops. if the opportunity arises I will not hesitate to travel with Glen again.

Stephan Lorenz
MR, Ghana 2019

Stephan was great! I would not hesitate to sign up again for another tour with him as leader. He worked really hard to help us find a lot of very tough birds.

Gregory de Klerk
MM - Ghana 2024

Greg did a great job leading the tour, communicating clearly with participants and getting everyone onto the birds as best that could be done. The local guide Paul was equally excellent and a great complimentary foil for Greg. A very smoothly run tour ! Thanks also to Crystal, Hayley and Sarah for making the whole admin process so simple; much appreciated.

André Bernon
GB, Ghana 2021

Andre was an excellent guide, working very well with the local guides.
