    West Africa Expedition

    Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo and Benin intimately revealed

    This expedition takes you deep into  West Africa. Historic kingdoms and ancient fabled towns await your exploration, from the influential Malien and Ashanti empires to the settlement of Djenne, which is renowned for its great mud mosque. You'll wander through some of Africa's most vibrant and fascinating markets.  Burkina Faso's unforgettable Gorom-Gorom market is sure to captivate all of your senses.  Get lost in the hypnotic sounds and haunting rhythms of the region's music.  Along the way you'll meet the local people and experience their incredible warmth and exuberance, immersing yourself in an extraordinary mix of cultures. West Africa will excite your senses, challenge your mind, and stay with your spirit long after the end of your journey. Your expert guides sort through the details and challenges of border crossings and meal negotiation.

    JOURNEYS partners with Peregrine Adventures in order to provide guaranteed group departures throughout much of the year.
