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

David Hoddinott
GP, Ghana - Rockfowl & Upper Guinea specials 2025

This was a good tour. David was excellent as usual, and showed infinite patience.

Gregory de Klerk
MG, Ghana 2023

The Ghana tour was difficult is some ways due to the heat, humidity, dense forest birding, and limited facilities. That said, the birds were and the trip was well organized and brilliantly led by Greg and our local guide!

David Hoddinott
LW, Ghana - Rockfowl & Upper Guinea specials 2025

Our Ghana tour was excellent. We saw all the species we wanted and many more. We were a very lucky group and also saw a pangolin on the walk to the Picathartes site. David was a superb guide to the birds and had many interesting adventure stories to tell. The local guides were also great. A challenging but very enjoyable trip.

Robert Williams
SL - Ghana 2024

We covered the length and breadth of Ghana on this fantastic tour, with wonderful birds, very friendly people and many colourful sights. Rob Williams and our local guide, Philip, were outstanding. They complemented each other beautifully and both were cheerful and enthusiastic. We greatly appreciated Philip keeping us supplied with fresh local bananas, mangoes, watermelon and pawpaw throughout. The organisation of the tour was superb and everything went smoothly

André Bernon
AO, Ghana 2021

The tour was excellent and exceeded all my expectations. Andre was excellent and good fun.
