The Africa Experience by TBG

Join TravelByGwen for the inaugural The Africa Experience in Ghana, West Africa

DID YOU KNOW ...

There are over 200 languages spoken in Ghana. Because of this, the official language is English.

The Inaugural Trip of The Africa Experience

The unfortunate truth is that much of what most of us think about Africa has been shaped by images and stories told by non-Africans. The Africa Experience by TBG is designed to enable you to craft your own narrative about this beautiful continent and not be limited to the one given to you by others. This is important because African history is our history. And how we perceive our history greatly influences how we perceive our present.

The inaugural trip of The Africa Experience will be to Ghana in West Africa. Ghana is celebrated for its fascinating repository of cultural heritage. It is also known for its lush forests, diverse wildlife and miles of sandy beaches. The 7 day / 6 night tour will immerse you in authentic Ghana: local guides, locally owned accommodations and locally curated activities and excursions.
