What West African Countries Will We Explore?
Our tour will take you across seven different nations along the coast of West Africa. These include Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ghana.

What is a Typical Day like on this Tour?
This nearly month-long tour is packed with busy days of excitement and exploration! Let’s look at day 10 as an example. After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel Kadiandoumagne in Ziguinchor, Senegal, we will cross the border into neighboring Guinea-Bissau for a tour of the city of Bissau. We will visit the National Museum and the Military Museum and learn about the rich history of Guinea Bissau. Next, we will visit the Mercado (Central Market) where you can find fold art and handcrafted items in a vibrant atmosphere.
