What makes us unique?

 

1. Experience. Our group leader has been taking others on group trips to West Africa since 1992. In 2011, on her first solo trip to Ghana, she was invited to Kumasi, Ghana’s to help build a computer lab for high school students and was contracted to create a feasibility plan for a community center. View the story, “Afigya Kwabre District leads way in attracting international support” on Modern Ghana’s website. Simone knew where Ghana was headed back then and authored her own article, Contemporary Ghana on the Rise.

2. Impactful. Our trips and our networking skills provide you with a one-of-a kind experience. In 2023, you will meet with representatives from the Ghana Investment Promotion Center who will discuss business opportunities in Ghana. During the last group trip, three guests came back to the States, sold their homes and relocated to Ghana.

3. Transparency. We let you know all the details of your trip. Not random information such as unnamed hotels or airlines. When we travel with others, we need to have these details before we give our money and depart. We also provide ongoing communications with our potential travelers through Zoom meetings and Summary Account Statements.

4. Honesty and Integrity.  Sadly, we now live in a world full of scammers and other con artists. It leaves us skeptical and causes us to cross all our I’s and dot all T’s. For us honesty and integrity are an integral business imperative.

In 2020, we were all set to visit Ghana when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Before our travelers even had to ask, we refunded 100% of their money (including the non-refundable deposit) totaling over $20,000 in trip payments. Once we were unsure whether we could safely travel, Simone requested full refunds from our airline and hotel partner—even before they had pandemic policies in place. Our guests proclaimed, “That is how you take care of business.”

5. Upscale Travel. We do not settle for the ordinary. Our trips are high-end and fabulous—or so that is what our guest proclaim. We only provide the highest quality in stays and itineraries. We go out of our way to ensure we are providing a unique experience for our guests. Our entire brand was created out of others asking Simone how she gets to do all that she does on her own trips. We also ensure our guests are safe. We look out for one another, and everyone feels like we are family. For our 2023 trip, in addition to a wonderful itinerary, our hotel is also located in walking distance of Accra’s Airport Police Station.Excellent Guest 6.S 6. Services. We believe in peace and tranquility and as such, will provide you with our best guest services. All emails and phone inquiries are answered in a timely manner. We also ensure our other partners, and sponsors do the same. We also know it is not cheap to travel to Africa from the United States. Primarily, because the West African government charges “double” the airport tax on planes from the United States, so Americans must incur the costs. Accra is also major travel destination for Europeans and hotels manage to stay booked, sometimes months in advance. Our service model is simple, “We treat our guests, as we want others to treat us.”
