The short answer

  • A custom package is a private trip designed around your dates, interests, pace and budget — not a fixed route.
  • You choose the mix: heritage, nature, beaches, culture, food or a blend of everything.
  • Everything is handled — driver, guide, vehicle, entry fees, stays and airport transfers.
  • It is ideal for families, couples, groups of friends, special occasions and repeat visitors.
  • The process is simple: share your brief, review a draft itinerary, refine it, then travel.
  • Pricing depends on length, group size and standard of stays, and we confirm the total before you commit.

What a custom tour package really means

A custom, tailor-made tour is the opposite of a fixed departure. Instead of squeezing your holiday into someone else's route and dates, you tell us what you want and we build a private trip around it. Your interests set the itinerary, your pace sets the schedule, and your budget shapes the choices — not the other way round.

That means no rushing past the places you care about and no wasted days on things that do not interest you. Whether you have five days or three weeks, travel solo or as a family of eight, the trip fits you rather than the other way around. It also means the plan can flex as you go: an extra night somewhere you love, a slower morning, or a detour a fellow traveller recommends. If you are weighing your options, compare it with how to book a tour in Ghana and gather ideas from why visit Ghana.

You choose the experience

Ghana offers far more than any single tour can cover, so a custom package lets you pick your own blend. Some travellers focus on heritage — the castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, the independence story in Accra. Others chase nature at Kakum, waterfalls in the east, or the wildlife of the north.

Then there is culture — drumming, festivals, markets and craft villages — and simple downtime on the western beaches. You can mix them freely: a few heritage days, a nature stop, then the coast to unwind. Tell us your must-sees and we will weave them into a route that flows, drawing on ideas from our 7-day itinerary without being bound by it.

Cannot decide what to include? Give us a rough wish list and we will suggest the perfect blend of heritage, nature, culture and coast. Explore our tours or share your ideas.

Everything handled, end to end

The point of a custom package is that you travel and we take care of the rest. A typical trip we design includes:

  • Airport pickup — met at Kotoka and driven straight to your first stay.
  • Private driver and vehicle — comfortable and yours for the whole trip.
  • Expert guides — the right specialist for each site.
  • Accommodation — hotels, apartments or homes to suit your taste and budget.
  • Entry fees and logistics — planned so days run smoothly.
Ready to design your trip? Send us your dates, interests and budget and we will draft a private itinerary with everything included. Explore custom tours or start your plan.

Prefer a hotel base in Accra with day trips, or a route that moves region to region? Either works, and we can build in the kind of stay you like — see where to stay in Accra.

Who custom packages suit best

Tailor-made trips shine when a fixed tour simply will not do. Families need a gentle pace and flexibility around children; couples may want privacy and a romantic stay; groups of friends want to travel together on their own schedule. Special occasions — a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a first trip home — deserve a trip designed with care.

They also suit repeat visitors who have seen the classics and want something different, and anyone reconnecting with their roots. If that is you, our Ghana for African Americans guide is a good place to begin. Business travellers who want to add a few days of leisure, and small tour groups with a shared interest, benefit just as much. Whatever the reason, the trip is shaped to the people travelling rather than a fixed schedule.

How the process works

Designing your trip is straightforward. First, share a short brief: your dates, group size, interests, comfort level and rough budget. Next, we send a draft itinerary — a day-by-day plan with suggested stays, sites and drive times. Then we refine it together until it feels right, adding or dropping days and adjusting the standard of accommodation.

Once you are happy, we confirm the full itinerary and total in writing, take a deposit to secure it, and handle every booking. From your arrival at Kotoka — see how airport pickup works — to your final drop-off, the plan is set and someone is always looking after you. You just enjoy Ghana.

Questions people ask

What is a custom tour package?

It is a private trip designed entirely around you — your dates, interests, pace and budget — rather than a fixed route with set departure dates. You tell us what you want to see and do, and we build the itinerary and handle every booking.

Is a custom tour more expensive than a group tour?

It can cost more per person than a shared group tour, but you gain privacy, flexibility and a trip built for you. For families and small groups the cost per person often comes down, and we always confirm the total before you commit.

What can be included in the package?

Typically airport pickup, a private driver and vehicle for the whole trip, expert guides, accommodation, entry fees and day-to-day logistics. We tailor the inclusions to your budget and tell you clearly what is and is not covered.

How long does it take to plan a custom trip?

Often just a few exchanges. You send a brief, we return a draft itinerary, and we refine it together until it is right. For peak periods and festivals it is best to start early so vehicles, guides and the best stays are available.

Can you design a trip for a special occasion?

Absolutely. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions and first trips home are exactly what custom packages are for. Tell us the occasion and we will build in the touches that make it memorable.

How much does a custom tour cost?

It varies with the length of the trip, group size and the standard of accommodation, so we avoid a fixed figure. Share your plans and we will provide a clear, itemised quote and confirm the total before you book.

Written by Abdul, founder of Ghana Travel & TourI started this agency in Kasoa Opeikuma, Central Region, in 2020. Our drivers meet flights at Kotoka, our homes are the ones we let in Kasoa, and the routes described here are the ones we run ourselves.

What I know about Ghanaian travel comes from doing it: filing passport and visa applications, booking flights and hotels, collecting people from arrivals at two in the morning, and driving the Accra, Tema, Cape Coast and Kumasi runs week after week. Where this guide describes how something works, it is because we have done it.

Rules, fees and timetables in Ghana change. I have deliberately not quoted figures that go stale — where a number matters I name the office to confirm it with. If you spot something out of date, tell me and we will fix it.
