South Africa, Ghana, African Continent Expertise


I was born and raised in Africa before immigrating to the United States, so I have a vast wealth of knowledge about the continent and in particular, South Africa and Ghana. As such, I would love to plan an unforgettable experience for you!

Many countries in Africa have excellent Safaris. I can help you choose the best experience! Seeing the “Big Five” (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, and buffalo) in their natural habitat is magical and life-changing. Working with my sources in Africa, I will provide you with the best Safari experience!  

South Africa has many superb Safari parks, including Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Park, and Madikwe Game Reserve. In addition, the country offers many other attractions to broaden the experience, including Table Mountain National Park, Robbins Island, Penguin Colony, Cape of Good Hope, The Cape Winelands, and The Aquilla Game Reserve.  

Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, is beautiful and rich in historical sites. Any traveler’s list should include sites such as Cradle of Humankind, Lesedi Village, Soweto, Apartheid Museum, Nelson Mandela and Bishop Tutu’s birth place, and many others. Johannesburg also offers a very active nightlife, with casinos, upscale shopping and several renowned restaurants. 

Other cities in South Africa have much to offer. Durban has great beaches and surfing. Pretoria has great museums and historic sites.  Stellenbosch has some of the best wines in the world. 

Please contact me to plan your truly remarkable South African adventure. Experience the “unbelievable” yourself.

The best trip of my life was my river cruise.

Reviewed By Pam - District Heights, Maryland | Traveled to Prague ~ Czech Republic ~ Europe
I asked a friend of mine if she knew of anyone who was going on a cruise. That inquiry changed my travel experiences forever. She referred me to Nana Essandoh. I booked my first vacation with her in June 2008 and she has planned every vacation for me since. She has planned luxury cruises, resort vacations, river cruises, and destination vacations.

Nana is the most caring and knowledgeable travel agent. Since my first cruise, I truly feel taken care of. She plans every detail. She made suggestions as to what activities to do, what to buy, what to eat, what to see, what to wear, and what precautions to take. She made me feel that she cared about me and wanted to ensure that I made the most of my vacation. Because of her guidance, I had loads of fun and had time to relax. It had a wonderful time.

She is always professional and experienced. Over the years, I have asked Nana, “Where am I going on vacation?” I depend on her to tell me because she considers my personal s

Caribbean vacations

Reviewed By Billy200 - Columbia, MD | Traveled to Caribbean
Nana Essandoh has become our family’s sole travel agent. We slelected her because her service is superior and we have full confidence in her delivery. One needs just to give her the parameters of one’s travel desires. She comes back with high quality comparative data and information to enable one to weigh the options. Then, she takes the time to discuss the information and helps one to reach a comfortable decision. She goes over details: various airline carriers, departing and arriving flight times, seating peferences, travel insurance companies and their coverage offerings, lounges, reliable local transportation to hotel/resort, security and safety situations at destination, etc. She often has first hand knowledge of one’s destination. She is a diligent agent. We have used her services for travel to Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. Working with her to arrange one’s travel is a delight.

Wonderful Portugal/Spain Trip - Azamara Cruise

We used Nana to coordinate much of our recent vacation in Portugal and Spain. She simply handled everything from bookings, billings, transportation, restaurants, excursions, etc. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge made her a pleasure to work with and gave us the confidence that everything was in order -allowing us to focus our time and energy on our vacation. Nana was also highly accessible throughout our experience and could always be reached. We will certainly utilize her service again and highly recommend her to our friends.

The Great Downunder

Reviewed By Lisa - Laurel, MD | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Nana has booked many of our vacations and trips over that last 15 years or so. We are very predictable clients and Nana has gotten to know what we like do, where we want to go and how we want to travel. On a number of occasions, Nana has done research to find the additional hotels, and amenities that make our trips so memorable. She has often made sure there were additional special somethings for our children and grandchildren which they treasure.

Nana made it special!

Reviewed By V Yancey - Bowie, MD | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Nana is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. It seems she's been EVERYWHERE and is able to give great tour and stay advice practically anywhere you want to go! She is my go-to for world travel and I've referred her multiple times. My anniversary trip to DR was extra special because Nana was able to negotiate a number of perks with the 5-star hotel we stayed in to include dinner on the beach, champagne and other edibles upon arrival, spa services, and a wonderfully situated room within our budget ALL BEFORE WE GOT THERE! We didn't have to ask for anything because she arranged it all for minimum to no cost! You will not be disappointed.
