Who We Are
We offer more than tours. Every journey is an opportunity to connect with Ghana’s people, culture, and history.
At Ananse Travel & Tours, we believe travel is more than sightseeing, it’s about connection, discovery, and belonging. We design journeys that go beyond the surface to immerse you in the country’s rich culture, history, landscapes, and people.
Our name, Ananse, is inspired by the legendary West African storyteller, a symbol of wisdom, creativity, and community. Just like Ananse’s stories, every trip we design is meant to leave a lasting impression and be retold for generations.
