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

Quinton Paul Josop
GMS, Ghana - Mega Birding Tour I 2025

Paul, our guides was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and knew the birds, even though it was his first time in Ghana. He always made sure we all saw the bird and managed the trip very well. It was a real joy birding with him.

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

Glen is an awesome guide, combined exceptional birding skills with a great personality

André Bernon
RA, Ghana 2020

Andre was really good. I feel he is a potential superstar leader. He has great birding skills and his people skills a pretty good too and will improve with time. He is at his best when helping the tour group work on those tough skulkers. On our next to last day we got three or four of these tough to see birds and it was all due to Andre's skill and patience in dealing with the birders in the group. It was very impressive. That day was one of the best birding days I've had and it involved a lot of hiking. I'd certainly recommend any birding trip with Andre as a guide.

Quinton Paul Josop
RS, Ghana - Mega Birding Tour I 2025

Paul and our local guide were excellent guides. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the birds and their locations.

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!
