Ashanti African Tours

Ashanti African Tours is a Ghana-based operator that has been running birding and wildlife trips across West Africa since 2005. The company has won the regional Tour Operator of the Year award five times and is widely regarded as the dominant specialist for the Upper Guinea forest and the West African coast, with itineraries pioneering combinations such as Liberia and Sierra Leone that previously required rough camping. The company operates programs in roughly ten West African nations, including Ghana, Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Senegal, the Gambia and São Tomé & Príncipe. They emphasise locally guided, community-supporting travel under a stated 'purpose before profit' philosophy and back conservation projects alongside their birding and cultural tours.
