Insightful Historical Day Tour - Insightful historical day at Cape Coast and Elmina castle. Learnt on a lot on this tour about the transatlantic slave trade. our tour guide Xade and driver were professionals, they arrive on time for pickup. Even though I was a solo traveler they made me feel safe and everything went on smoothly. The highlight of the tour was the Kakum canopy walk, I was able to conquer my fear of heights a little bit 😀. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to explore Ghana.

Amazing Trip To Cape Coast & Elmina Castle - i did two trips with Enoch and his team at Best of Africa Travels. I had an amazing time exploring Elmina Castle and Cape Coast Castle, where the deep history moved me profoundly, and the Kakum Canopy Walk was an unforgettable adventure high above the rainforest—breathtaking views and a true thrill. I highly recommend Enoch and his Driver Hamza for an amazing job done. Thanks guys!

Cape Coast Tour - I had a great day out with Zaid. As a solo traveler, every company charged extra. BOA charged a flat fee. Not only was I a solo traveler, no one else had signed up for the tour that day. So it was just Zaid, the driver, and myself all day. They were professional and very courteous, and I didn't feel isolated or awkward being with 2 strangers and just me. I'm tall and the car we were in for just the three of us was very comfortable. It was a very long and bumpy drive from Accra to Cape Coast (be warned), but a good day nonetheless.

Great tour! - This experience was so magnificent I highly recommend the tour of the canopy walk, cape coast and Elmina castle. Canopy walk was thrilling and adrenaline rushing for me as we walked over 30ft high. The experience in Cape coast and Elmina were very eye opening and the tour guides were very good in explaining the atrocities that took place. An absolute must see to gain understanding of the slave trade. Enoch and his team organised a great trip and made sure we were well looked after including capturing great moments and ensuring we safely got home. I felt in good hands. I suggest that to improve the day the pickup should kick off earlier than 7am and they should take lunch preorders in order to maximise the day.

Mixed Feelings at Cape Coast and Elmina Castle - We had a great day with BOA travels during our Cape Coast Historical day tour experience, our tour guide Xade was very knowledgeable and open minded, we first visited the kakum national park learnt more about the trees, birds, and animals that can be found in the park and did the canopy walk, its was nice experience walking on those suspended bridges whiles admiring nature, Cape Coast and Elmina Castle was kinda mixed emotions for me learning about the history about the Trans Atlantic slave trade, how our ancestors was treated inhumane and all the bad things they went through. All the same it's was nice experience getting to know about our history etc. I do recommend BOA travels for all your Ghana tours.

Great Motherland Experience - I did two tours with this Company Boansi travels, Visiting the slave Dungeons at Elmina and Cape Coast castle, learning about the inhuman atrocities our ancestors endured during the transatlantic slave trade was a mix feelings altogether. Not to forget about the Canopy walk at Kakum National park, learning about animals in the park, plants/trees and its medicinal benefits. I recommend Boansi travels and his team for making this happen. I had a great experience in the motherland.
