Description

Akwaba! Ghana is home to the great tribal kingdom of Ashanti. Boasting historical hot spots, diverse wildlife, and plentiful national parks, Ghana is the ultimate West African destination. You can visit the hungry hippos, sit with crocodiles lazing in the sun, or walk through the lands of elephants and wildebeest (really). Beyond the mainstream tourism elements drawing thousands of visitors each year, as a volunteer, you will be welcomed by laid back locals who are excited to work in cooperation with international volunteers. Join us volunteering in beautiful coastal Ghana.
