JATA Tours · How you travel

Tour Buses
The journey between the memories

Ghana is best taken in slowly, from the window seat. All travel by air-conditioned minibus, with room to stretch, a guide who knows the road, and stops where the country is worth seeing.

Small on purpose

Our tours are intimate and friendly, with only 15–20 guests on each trip. Everyone gets a window, there’s room for the bags you’ll fill at the markets, and nobody is left waiting in a car park while a coach unloads.

On board

What to expect on every journey

Air-conditioned minibuses

All travel by air-conditioned minibus, kept cool, clean and ready for every leg of the journey.

15–20 guests per tour

Small groups, so the vehicle stays unhurried, there’s always a window seat going round, and your guide knows your name by the second morning.

Complimentary water

Complimentary water throughout, kept cold for the road and topped up at every stop.

Comfort stops

Scheduled comfort stops on the longer days, with time for your legs, a coffee and a browse of the market stalls.

Qualified, licenced drivers

As with all our drivers, ours are qualified, fully licenced, fully insured and well-practised, ensuring every mile of your journey is safe, comfortable and enjoyable.

Licenced & recognised
