West African Empires - AFWA5

Introduction: This a true taste of West Africa. From chilled out days on the boat trip to Timbuktu to the frenetic dancing of the local cultural group on the beach in Ghana. You will walk though the tree tops on the canopy walk in the rainforest of Kakum National Park, and through the sands of the Sahara with the Tuareg. See animals on foot in Mole National Park and discover the amazing world of the Dogon People in Mali. From the sand dunes of the Sahara to the beaches on the Atlantic coast, this is a tour of great diversity, and gives you a real insight into the complexity and friendliness of West African society.
