Dzaa Kitty Details
This trip is an overland trip run in an overland truck. In addition to paying for your trip, you're require to make a separate payment to your tour leader at the start of the trip, usually in USD. Kitties are flexible and change as prices are updated. Therefore you should check the latest kitty amount on this website before you depart.
A kitty is a group fund which covers all accommodation, meals while camping (not in hotels) and activities listed as included. It's a system unique to overlanding to provide the maximum flexibility and best value on the road (you get everything at cost price!). The kitty is your money, not ours, so any amount left over is divided among the group as a refund.

Accra to Accra
We've cherry picked the 'best bits' of Ghana and its much less visited but just as fascinating neighbours, Togo and Benin, to create what is unquestionably one of the best West Africa trips on the market. There's wildlife including the last population of West African lions in Pendjari National Park! There's culture, from voodoo shines in Mount Klouto, to Ganvie stilt fishermen houses and the two storey houses of the Tammari a.k.a. Somba people. There's relaxation, including both the Benin Grand Popo Atlantic beaches as well as those in Keta, Ghana. If you love the unusual, this trip ticks all the boxes.
