Why we recommend it
Blastours is a Ghanaian-owned destination management company based at Mile 7 in Accra, organising travel in Ghana and West Africa. It runs scheduled and tailor-made tours focused on culture, heritage and nature, and also arranges shore excursions for cruise passengers arriving at the ports of Tema and Takoradi.
Heritage and culture are at the core of its programme. The Ghana Heritage Tour and Ghana Cultural Tour cover the country's history and traditions, including visits to the Elmina and Cape Coast castles, and an Elmina walking tour explores the historic coastal town. Festival tours are a strength, with trips built around events such as Emancipation Day, PANAFEST, the Akwasidae celebrations of the Ashanti and Homowo in Accra, combined with the Chale Wote street art festival in Jamestown. For nature lovers, there are birding trips around Accra and at Kakum National Park, plus an eco-adventure tour and drumming and dancing experiences.
Blastours suits diaspora travellers timing a visit to coincide with a festival, birdwatchers, cruise passengers with a day ashore and groups who want a single company to handle logistics. Its range also extends to Togo, Benin, Liberia and São Tomé and Príncipe for those planning a wider regional trip.
Tours can be booked through the website or by contacting the office by phone or email. Festival tours run on fixed dates that are set well in advance, so book early, especially for Emancipation Day and PANAFEST, which attract large numbers of visitors. Confirm exactly what is included before paying, such as transport, accommodation, entry fees and meals, and agree pick-up arrangements in Accra.
Shore excursions are designed around a ship's time in port, so they are a good option for cruise passengers who want to see something of Ghana without worrying about getting back on board in time. For festival tours, ask whether accommodation near the main events is included, as rooms can be in short supply on major dates.
Mile 7 is in the north-west of Accra; ask about pick-up arrangements from your hotel when booking. If you are in the city for a short time, ask about combining an Accra birding trip or a cultural experience with your other plans.
