What travellers are saying
- mollySidmouth, UK6 contributionsThis was an incredible expletive that I will never forget. It was a real African experience. The family welcome you with open arms into their community and give you an unforgettable experience. I saw a fortune teller, learnt how to make Kuli kuli, saw how they wash the babies there and was shown a celebration/ ceremony at the school.
The mud hut was really nice to stay in and there was a fan, mosquito net and plug. Conditions are basic but that only adds to the experience. I definitely recommend!Written December 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The baskets and crafts are made locally by women of which the shop attendants, Walisu and Sayaw, will be happy to tell you about! There is a variety of sizes, patterns, and shapes of baskets as well as an array of beautifully patterned hand bags. This shop truly pleases tourists as it is in a quiet area of Tamale, boasts a welcome atmosphere, and catches your eye with its beautiful displays of artisanal gifts and souvenirs. A must-visit while in Tamale!Written February 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Melrose B0 contributionsThe sojourn to Ghana was enlightening. It was like the Mecca for descendants of our enslaved ancestors. The tour guides meticulously chose the sights and guided us every step of the way. They practically held our hands. Uprise Travel, thanks for helping to provide this experience. Highly recommend Uprise Travel for this ancestral journey.Written May 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sherry W1 contributionIsaac at Grassroot Tours was referred by a friend. Immediately after sending him a WhatsApp message and email, he replied and was always prompt in his replies throughout our three days together. Booking was simple and payment by credit card was easy enough. Isaac and the van driver picked us up on Friday morning and dropped us back on Sunday afternoon at Tamale Airport - clean and well maintained van, good A/C and smooth ride. Isaac answered all of our questions and shared so much about the culture and what we were seeing along the roadside in both directions. It felt like an excursion all by itself. Once we arrived at Zaina lodge he was quick to unload us and our luggage. He knew the hotel staff and communicated with them before leaving us for the evening. He picked us up again on Saturday morning for our canoe safari and shea butter processing tour. He was so attentive and well connected with all of the locals. I felt we were always in good hands and we thoroughly enjoyed both tours. On Sunday at noon he again picked us to return to the airport. He was early for each of the pickups and communicated regularly. That gave me a great sense of comfort. Our ride back was just as comfortable as our pickup. We stopped in Tamale to pick up lunch at KFC's and of course purchased a lunch for Isaac and our driver. Then on to the airport. Isaac was extremely knowledgeable and a wonderfully kind man. I would not hesitate to call on him in the future for another tour or refer him to others. I HIGHLY recommend Grassroot Tours. You will not be disappointed in their service.Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ewuntomah H1 contributionExcellent private tour with Mole Boy Tours. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day at the Mole National Park. It was a lovely safari experience and we learnt a lot about the history and culture of the people and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tours and tour guide - he was great and spoke excellent English. Time and money well invested.
