It was amazing, and Kofi Norbert (guide) and Sam (driver) were excellent. Kofi answered all of our many questions honestly and accurately. He knew the ins and outs of border crossings, villages, and local areas, and kept us safe. The cultures in Togo, Benin and Ghana were so diverse, and so amazing. We even had the special experience of having champagne with a king!read more
