Great Service by Foster of Kadelo Travels
When my family planned a trip to Ghana we were unsure as to how to get about it, being our first trip to West Africa.
We thus approached five travel agents in Accra giving some guidelines and requesting a proposal.
Foster of Kadelo Travels was the first to respond and almost immediately. He came with a comprehension package covering our requirements and also making some useful suggestions, which of course we accepted.
Foster was very knowledgeable, very obliging and accomodating and very pleasant and helpful.
Our trip included, in addition to the usual sites. A journey by air to the north of Ghana and a visit to the Mole National Park and The historic Larabanga Mosque. All were well organised.
We highly recommend Foster for any travel requirements in Ghana.
We wish him all success. He is an asset to his organisation.

Great tout
The tour leaves early in the morning, but that is the perfect time to go. As we avoided the crowds from the big buses which arrived at the park when we were leaving. So we were able to fully enjoy the park and take good photos At the castles we also had our own tour guides. The castles were beautiful, but was a very sobering experience. Our guide arrived on time and was good at explaining stuff to us. He provided water continuously throughout the tour, and provided breakfast before making our stop at the park. We had access to WiFi through out as well. A helpful hint: Wear comfortable shoes, shades, hat and walk with a fan if you have one.

Exceptional Experience of Ghana
I found Kadelo Travels by chance in my first visit to Ghana in over 40 years with my partner who is Caribbean. We learnt so much about Ghana.
The professionalism, creativity, support, safety and sheer knowledge of Ghana and its rich history was exemplary.
Our tour guide Jeff was exceptional.
I would recommend everyone to take this opportunity when visiting Ghana to experience this tour including my friends and family. 🙏🏿

100% recommend!
Our trip with our tour guide, Freedom was amazing! We started out at Kakum park and hiked a little and did the canopy walk which has amazing views. Freedom made sure I had plenty of pictures! After we visited Cape Coast and the Elmina castle which had a very sad history. The coast was beautiful! Overall, such an amazing experience and Freedom made sure our tour went perfectly!

My Ghana Experience
My tour with Foster was exceptional the entire trip was way more than I expected. Foster is always on schedule with the pick up time and arrangements made for the tour. Foster explains everything to you and answers any questions or concerns you might have and he always ensures you are comfortable hydrated and most importantly safe at all times. I will recommend Foster and the tour company to anyone traveling to Ghana and wishes to experience all the great history that Ghana has to offer. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

What a full on and great day out!
My husband and I did this tour as a day trip and had a fantastic time.
Foster was truly amazing all through. He picked us up from our apartment in Accra around 5.45am as arranged.
We first stopped at the reconciliation roundabout and then later on for breakfast. We got to Kakum national park in record time, toured the park and did the 7 canopy walks. It was simply breathtaking!
Then we headed to Elmina Castle before doing Cape coast castle - both of which we really enjoyed, although I must say listening to the stories of the experiences of the slaves tugged at one's heart strings.
Foster was amazing throughout as our driver and guide. He got us to the airport in Accra in record time (7pm) as we had to catch our flight by 10.30. My husband and I could not believe how much we managed to do and see in 1 day.
Thanks so much Foster for such a lovely experience.
If you are planning to go on this trip, Foster is your man!
