Book the Trip! - For the past five years I’ve been studying my ancestry and I believe this trip is a necessity for everyone in the African diaspora. The long drive from my hotel to Slave River was so worth it for the wealth knowledge you receive from the tour guides. Jeff was a great driver and accommodating to my family needs. If you’re debating which castle to go to, Elmina is a must.

Amazing Tour! - What a memorable day on this tour with the excellent guide, Freedom! He was on time, so knowledgeable, and Kadelo Travels was very communicative. Being a solo female traveler on this tour, most importantly, I felt safe. This is a heavy tour but so important to see, and I’m so glad I did. I left Assin Manso and Cape Coast Castle deep in thought and contemplation. I chose the canopy walk as the third destination, but you could pick from either that or Elmina Castle. Freedom was so knowledge and shared the Ghanaian hospitality I’d heard so much about. Thank you guys for an amazing, eye-opening tour! I will use Kadelo Travels whenever I returned to Ghana.

Overall Good Tour, No Complaints - Arranged hotel pickup via WhatsApp the day before. Saw the Slave River, Elmina Castle, and Cape Coast Castle. Powerful experience that was definitely worth it. Driver answered questions along the way and was very knowledgeable. Each historical site had good guides as well. We opted not to visit the national park.

Powerful Tour - Highly Recommend - I highly recommend this tour! As a female solo traveler, safety was my priority, and my guide Foster made me feel completely secure. He was exceptional, answering all my questions and introducing me to new experiences like tasting cacao fruit and fresh coconut water. The tour felt wonderfully personalized, with knowledgeable guides at each stop. The Assin Manso Slave River was particularly moving. The experience was so incredible that I booked another tour with Foster to the Aburi Botanical Gardens, which I also recommend. Both tours were highlights of my trip, and I would confidently recommend this tour operator to anyone, especially solo female travelers.

Cape Coast Experience 2024 - Foster is an amazing person and runs a service that ranks 10/10 for customer service. During a very emotional journey Foster keeps a level head and a calm tone to ensure that the information and history is clearly understood. He is open to answering any questions and welcomes them.

Ghanna fed my soul! - Foster of Kadelo Travels was simply outstanding! Starting with meeting my wife and I at the crack of dawn in a clean and comfortable car to get us started on one of the most immersive tours I have experienced. Foster was very friendly and volunteered his wealth of knowledge. What I really appreciated was the fact that he took the time to point out or stop at other points of interest on the way to our main destinations. This gave us a chance to see other parts of Accra as well as out to the far reaches of the rural areas while heading to the Volta Region as well as to Cape Coast to the experience the "Door of No Return" at the coastal castle. Foster was very patient while we took it all in. Foster also picked great spots for us to stop and eat as we continued our journey. Be prepared for lengthy journeys to reach some excursions, but to me, that was the part of the beauty by traveling through and to our next spots. Visiting the first Coco Farm in Ghana was worth the travel into the hills as well as the Botanical Gardens which you should not miss. Visiting the Slave River should definitely not be passed up. Foster even chipped in and took pictures for us. Foster and our driver knocked it out the park by giving us a personal experience at our naming ceremony. They even joined in on the festivities. I highly recommend Kadelo Travels. I wish I had another week to travel, seek and get educated with Foster as our guide. I really felt like he was a brother to my wife and I.

The history and... - The history and significance of the Slave River and Castles were palpable and powerful. However the knowledge and flexibility of the guide along with the cleanliness of the transportation were less than desirable. Although this is not the accountabilty of the tour operator visitors should be alerted to the fact that because of road conditions the 95 mile drive can take 4 to 5 hours.
