My journey to Ghana began early.
As a Ghanaian raised in the US by parents who immigrated from Ghana in the 70s, my family and I would travel 'home' to Ghana as soon as school closed their doors for the summer. In Ghana, I loved spending time with my extended family and relished in the communal living! My cousins and I would spend countless hours playing and exploring the city and countryside. I also marvelled that everywhere I turned everyone - from the police officers to the doctors even the people on the currency - looked like me!
Coming back to the US, I wondered why the Africa I saw on tv was not wholly reflective of what I would see when I was visiting.
In 2009, I took a group friends with me and seeing Ghana through their eyes helped me realize - in my own small way - I could help change the narrative so often portrayed of Africa. And so ACC Tours was launched.
ACC Tours mission is to help tell the African story by providing safe, world class, and inclusive guided tours of Ghana. Our goal is to allow you to experience Ghana below the surface. Our curated tours are intimate by design – allowing you to immerse yourself in Ghana’s people, history and culture.
We are Ghanaian-owned and operated and believe in patronizing as such. We support Ghanaian owned businesses (accommodation, transportation, events and experiences) - allowing you to have an authentic Ghanaian experience while supporting the local economy.
We invite you (and yours) to join us on this unforgettable journey as we
change Africa's narrative - one tour at a time.
In love & light,
Akosua Awusi
