One of the highlights of the tour is the opportunity to sample Ghana's iconic street food, such as kelewele.

Another must-try is waakye, a savory rice and beans dish that is often served with a side of shito, a spicy pepper sauce.

You might be tempted to try fufu and soup, a staple dish consisting of starchy dough made from cassava or plantain, served with a flavorful soup. Or perhaps you'll opt for jollof rice, a spicy rice dish that is popular throughout West Africa. Ghanaian Jollof is better!

To complement your culinary adventure, your guide will take you to some of Accra's most popular bars and pubs. Here, you can sip on local beers, such as Club Beer or Star Beer, or try a traditional Ghanaian spirit, such as Akpeteshie or Pito.
