“During my trip in Ghana, Ishmael's generosity and hospitality are what ensured our comfort and safety throughout the experience. We were able to see a vast variety of historical sites that possess rich history, as well as beautiful nature of both the land and the people through Ishmael's guidance. Daakyepa brought us past the layer of tourism and through to the inner nature of Ghana, and provided us with something more than a trip. It was a vivid cultural experience that I will never forget, with many memories and bonds made along the way.”

“When my family went to Ghana we didn’t have any idea what to expect. But luckily Ishmael was there to support us and guide us. Ghana is a beautiful nation, but hard to navigate, and I know that we would never have been able to do it without Ishmael. If you're considering a trip to Ghana and are looking for a guide I would really consider Ish, as he is a well known local, and knows the ins and outs of Ghana more than the larger corporations! We had such a great trip and were so grateful that he was a part of it, he is such an amazing guy! ”

“Ishmael greeted us with open arms and a warm smile. He made our trip extra special. He knew exactly where to bring us and made sure our experience was exceptional. Highlights include lunch and horseback riding on the beach, shopping in the market, great food and catching a soccer match with my boys. We are planning to return next year and will definitely use Daakyepa and Ishmael as our guide .”
