Waterfall Adventures in Ghana

  Nana is a man of the people. His tour not only gave us historical and cultural context but social as well that was continually affirmed in museums and by our... read more various tour guides. We traversed through the Greater Accra region, to Cape Coast and Elmina, to Kumasi and up to Mole without a hitch. The beautiful waterfalls, scenes at the Mole National Park, conversations in the Asante villages, and resorts were some places and experiences I’ll never forget. My wife and I felt safe throughout our entire stay and would recommend anyone interested in authentically engaging with a natural leader and servant to travel with Nana. His professionalism is unmatched along with his genuine love for his country, his fellow Ghanaians and those who travel with him. It’s been a dream of mine to come home and with the help of Nana it surpassed all expectations. We will be back soon to hit the other side of Ghana and to experience more of West Africa with Nana. Shoutout the original Black man! Big love!

  We had a great experience at Elmina castle and at Kakum National Rainforest, guided by the awesome Nana Preston. I recommend him highly. We will never forget those swinging... read more bridges and the slave dungeons. It was a long drive from Accra to the west coast, but it was worth it.

  I loved every second - Nana is pure certified vibes. Him and Maleek made sure I was comfortable, safe, fed and watered, played great music and made sure to get... read more all that Instagram content. It was an incredibly spiritual journey and I’m glad I did it with Nana and Maleek. You won’t regret it, it’s nonstop vibes.

She took us to a fantastic lunch spot where the food was delicious. She is an excellent guide and we had an absolutely wonderful day and experience. Thank you, Doreen.

  Every excursion was absolutely amazing. Nana and his team were extremely accommodating and made this trip a dream come true. I gained so much knowledge about Ghanaian culture and I... read more will definitely be back. I highly recommend!

  Nana and Muska are absolutely fantastic!! We asked for an amended route from Accra to Elmina, a tour of the Castle, fish market, town and then a cooking lesson. We... read more then travelled together to Volta for the monkey sanctuary, mountain hike and Akosombo.
Nana was beyond amazing - he picked us up from Accra, accommodated our last minute plans to have a work meeting in the middle of our trip and even sat in 40 mins of traffic as a favour to give us a lift to the client offices!
And the tours - better than any I’ve ever done! Nana knows the locals everywhere and so makes sure you meet local guides, meet the local historians and go to off-the-beaten track places. Our cooking lesson - we went to a local market to haggle and Muska helped us haggle like the locals, then we went to his home to cook this amazing meal and met his family & friends for an absolute feast!
Then our trip to Volta was so fun - packed with wonderful waterfalls and Nana made sure to get bananas for the monkeys ahead of time, took us to the local restaurants which I wouldn’t be able to get to myself without Nana. He then gave us a lift all the way to the airport which was ever so kind.
Honestly the best experience - you won’t get a more friendly, fun, expert and knowledgeable guide than Nana!

  This was a life changing experience for me. Taking me back to my roots, which at times feeling like boot camp if you have bad knees like me. This agency... read more made everyone in my party feel safe and comfortable. After photos jokingly I was called the King. The care I received and the team always checking on my well-being made me start to believe I was king. With the constant education from this agency knowledgeable staff and connections to wonderful guides will allow you to really fill the experience of Ghana in it’s fullest. Knowing that I wasn’t a king along with the expert driving made me feel that I underpaid for this wonderful trip. I can’t wait to go on another trip with this agency and looking forward to hosting these wonderful people in California that showed so much love

  This was my second year traveling and booking with Freelancenana and I’m already planning my third return for December 2023. I trusted Nan Nah and his associates with finding my... read more accommodations and excursions and they did not disappoint. Everyday was filled adventure, fun, new friends, history and of course the food!! I came on this trip solo but was introduced to an awesome family of eight who quickly became my family as well. We spent 7 days exploring Ghana's rich history and culture that also included exploring nearby Elmina which is a nearby fishermans community filled with an awesome colorful vibe and beautiful people. I encourage everyone to plan a trip to Ghana and only use Freelancenana to plan your experience.

  Nana was AMAZING! Genuinely had the best time during my tour. He's the reason Ghana will always hold a place in my heart and be somewhere I look forward to... read more returning to. He is super accommodating and will cater the tour to your preferences.
10/10 would recommend.
P.S. ask him about Togo 🙂

  The most amazing and spiritual vacation ever!!!! It was everything I could have imagined and then some. I was able to connect with a piece of my history... read more that was partially known through television and movies and brought to life by this wonderful team of tour guides. They kept us busy with knowledge and made us feel like family along the way. Each day brought a new adventure and a piece of Ghana to bring home. I thank the wonderful freelancenana Travels, all my tour guides, my very skilled driver and the town of Elmina for being so welcoming to me, my family and my soul. They will forever be in my heart. Thank you for an amazing journey, I could have done it without you all.

  When I tell you that this was an experience of a life time it really was. This agency made me feel like being at home and was always there for... read more me. I have never felt so loved before when vacationing until I was with this agency. I will be back again each year and will only use your agency. A big big thank you from Las Vegas Nevada! Mama D

  There are no words to explain how phenomenal this experience was. Nana was full of knowledge and excitement from day 1 until the very end and after. He was full... read more of valuable information that gave complete and accurate educational opportunities to learn and grow. Every day was filled with amazing experiences that I will never forget. He encouraged me to try new things and celebrated my smallest triumphs. He is full of resources that satisfy the most curious questions I had. His caring heart was the cherry on top of a beautiful adventure. I recommend him with the highest respect and gratitude. I will be back!

  Nana is. the best tour guide in all of Ghana! I highly recommend all his trips. He provides the most authentic experience one could ever ask for when... read more visiting Ghana. He pays attention to detail, knows everything about the attractions and locations, and is overall helpful during your stay. His friendly and caring nature allows you to immerse yourself in the culture. He is mindful of food restrictions, fears, and hobbies/interests. He adapts to whatever you need in the moment. Always a smile on his face with a positive attitude, Nana makes you feel at home.

If you are considering a trip to Ghana for one day or ten, book an experience with him. HE IS THE EXTRAORDINARY!

  Fantastic interaction and experience overall. The Nike ride was exhilarating and a workout which helped us burn off all the local food we have been eating plenty of and enjoying!... read more />
Nana is very knowledgeable and well read. He even bought us some water which was very nice of him.

I would definitely recommend this to everyone and everyone. Was awesome!

  We spent 14 great days with Nana and his friends in Ghana. Although we did not originally book our trip with Freelancenana and only got in touch with Nana shortly... read more before our arrival, he managed to work everything around and make our trip unforgettable. Nana was able to flexibly rearrange our poorly prepared itinerary and, thanks to his expertise, we were able to see much more places than planned.

All tour guides and drivers that Nana works with are very nice people and took a good care of us. We had a chance to spend 5 amazing days on a road trip through south and western region with a driver Jeff who was a great companion! Both, Nana and Jeff, were so entertaining and friendly, they were keen to respond all our curious questions, explain everything about Ghana and the Ghanian culture. We had so much fun together, especially when we came across our cultural differences regarding drinking a beer! We have almost convinced Nana before the end of our stay to join our “foam team” but he was very resistant claiming that a foam is only good for cleaning the floor 😀 Well, we still need to work on this when we meet again! 🙂

Thank you guys for everything and we keep our fingers crossed for you!

He is hospitable, experienced, professional, extremely friendly, and does everything to make the trip as comfortable as possible! He is a natural when it comes to hosting.

The agenda of my trip was around black culture, history and nature. From the Slave Dungeons and River, to the Mausoleum of Kwame Nkrumah or the Kakum National Park. Everything I have seen was spot on and exceeded my expectations. I was introduced to Nana via Melanin Travels Magic, a tour operator, who were able to accurately recommend him to me when I told them my agenda and expectations.

It was an exciting, inspirational, spiritual and emotional trip. Everything was awesome. Starting from Nana, to the driver he chose, Malik, to drive us around.

I can't thank Nana enough for the value he added. I already know I am going to Ghana again soon to finish off my round of the must-see spots!

Many thanks to Nana and his... read more team for the personal attention given to us. I can’t speak highly enough of Michael, our amazing driver, who was always very protective and respectful and got us to places safely. Our tour guide, Thompson, was with us the whole trip and made sure we were well taken care of. He gave us an outstanding personal tour that exceeded all my expectations! He was a brilliant ambassador for his country, very knowledgeable, warm, organized and honest. He is extremely amiable and takes pride in his work and in the community that he serves. We were lucky to have him to gain such an insight into the history and culture of Ghana. He was quick to accommodate our requests as well as needed changes in the itinerary. Most of all, he was great company and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Thompson is also the founder of Creating Smiles Foundation, an NGO, which distributes stationery to underprivileged children and food to street kids.

The itinerary arranged for us included so many wonderful things- First, we toured Accra and visited must-see landmarks like the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and the W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial. We also went to Accra’s Art Centre, where Thomson helped us haggle. We crossed the Kakum National Park’s canopy walkway for a view of the wildlife and landscape; gained insight into the history of the Ashanti Kingdom and the Slave River and drove to Elmina and Cape Coast Castle to learn about the thought-provoking history of the transatlantic slave trade. We saw a variety of crafts, from learning how to play the drums, cook African food to Kente cloth making.

I thoroughly recommend Melanin Travels Magic and Feelancenana Travels to help shape your journey and enable you, too, to have a memorable experience in Ghana. Wishing you both every success with your tour businesses. Thank you Thompson for treating us like family, I fell in love with Ghana and its people through you. Someday I hope to return to Ghana and explore more of the country with you. I know you are going to do great things with your foundation. Medaase to all of you.
