Amazing experiences with Isaac! - Isaac was incredible! We could not have been happier with any tour guide! He is very kind and extremely knowledgeable about the places, culture, history, wildlife, and anything else we could have asked. I don’t usually opt to take guided tours as I like to explore on my own, but I am immensely glad I ended up on a tour with Isaac, and we explored a lot! I would not have had such a great time without him and his knowledge. He was very communicative not only with us, but also with the other people in charge of parts of our tour (at the hippo sanctuary, at the village we visited, at the leather making spot, and everywhere else). Additionally, he went on the Safaris in Mole National Park with us, and though I assume the Park Rangers were knowledgeable and did point loads of wildlife out, Isaac was still the one answering all of our extensive questions (he clearly knew the answer to them all!!). Additionally, he was very good at spotting wildlife, and I was specifically impressed by his knowledge of birds in the park. Isaac was also always punctual. He was right there waiting for us at the airport, and drove us to the Hippo sanctuary very early in the morning. I also always felt safe with him driving! He is an expert! He worked in additional experiences along the way as well including stopping to try cashew fruits, bringing us Baobab fruit juice, an other things. He also facilitated a lot of the money transactions so if we ever weren’t sure of the price/how to pay/how much to tip/or how to barges at the souvenir stores, he was very helpful. I could not recommend touring with Isaac more.

The guide made our experience in north Ghana both easy and rewarding. - Isaac provided the perfect tour experience. He is professional, warm, thoughtful, knowledgeable, cooperative and helpful. He is easy to get to know. He will lend you binoculars, help you buy water along the way, remember to call ahead to order lunch, and tell you all about the villages, plants and animals you encounter. His connections and know-how helped us get the most from our trip. We think of ourselves as pretty rugged, rustic and flexible, but if we had tried to do this trip without Isaac as our guide, it would have been twice as difficult and half as rewarding.

Thank you Isaac and Grassroots! - From the start of our tour (beginning with booking) to the end of the tour (flight departure) our tour guide, Isaac, was reliable, professional, and communicative. We spent four full days with him and never stopped leading us on amazing adventures. Things not listed on the tour included visiting a tannery - the oldest mosque in West Africa - souvenir shopping - and more. Everything was pre-arranged with thoughtful timing and excellent guides at each of our stops. It was clear that Isaac was always planning two steps before we got to a place and when we arrived to each place it was clear that he was respected by the community. In addition, Isaac took care of things while at Mole confirming meal orders and checked on my health when I fell a bit ill from previous travels. It was clear that he cared for us- truly! Isaac made our time in the area at Mole, Tamale, the Hippo Sanctuary, and the various villages we visited well worth the flight from Accra!

Great Safari tour of Mole Park! Highly recommend! - Amazing tour! Our guide Emanuel was awesome! Very knowledgeable and excited to show us Mole Park and the surrounding areas. Everything was as described in the tour package and everyone was very professional. It was easy to add additional safari tours and to make adjustments along the way. Grassroots and Emanuel are fantastic. I can't recommend them enough.

Amazing experience - This was the highlight of my friends and my 2 week trip to Ghana. Everything was excellent beginning with the communication beforehand. Our guide Emmanuel was exceptional. He had grown up in the park and was a ranger/guide in the park prior to operating tours so each safari we went on had the ranger/guide and Emmanuel so nothing was missed. We were able to get up close with elephants and really experience the awe the inspire. We chose the lesser expensive Mole lodge to stay at which was fine for us, the food was great, the pool over looking the watering hole was great. I will warn you (as they warned us) that the ride to the Hippo area was long and on poor roads, but that was a wonderful experience as well. Really, really can't say enough! Thanks

Beautiful Safari adventure - This tour has been a unforgettable adventure. It gives a short glance of the beautiful landscape and culture of northern Ghana. Our guides have been extremely nice and helpful. We felt secure throughout the whole trip and can recommend doing a tour with the grassroot team.

Best tour with the best guide! - My brother and I went to Mole with our guide Isaac, who exceeded ALL of our expectations! He accepted to take us on a tour the evening before we would have landed in Tamale (due to our las tribute planning). We were able to make the best of our time there seeing many different birds, elephants almost every day, lots of antelopes, hippos and crocodiles. If you feel like going on a tour into the beautiful nature Ghana has to offer and making a new friend along the way, then Isaac is your guy :) Thanks for everything Isaac!!

Best tour guide ever - Isaac - Isaac made the 4 days at Mole National Park into a dream vacation. Anything we needed he was happy to accommodate and always with a smile. We had some issues with the hotel we stayed at, but Isaac was on top of the problem within minutes and we came to a great resolution. Isaac is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and took us to see some local villages and meet the people. We saw elephants, baboons, warthogs, Nile crocodiles, many different types of antelope and innumerable birds. I would highly recommend the Hippo sanctuary tour (though it is a whole day trip from Mole, about 6 hours of driving total). Isaac made sure we had a fabulous time anywhere we were. I highly recommend asking for Isaac if you are taking a tour with Grassroute Tours, we could not have asked for a better person to lead us into the unknown.

Magnificent Mole - a great 4 day tour in Ghana - Originally my trip to Ghana wasn’t going to include the north, I’m so glad I changed my mind as it made the whole trip! The majority of things went according to plan, Isaac was friendly, accommodating, understanding but most importantly reliable, honest and trustworthy. He enabled our trip to go smoothly, giving us advice and pointing out birds/animals along the way. We were so lucky to have seen elephants multiple times and also the hippos, it was amazing to see/hear them in the wild. Mole hotel/motel/safari lodge (it was described in multiple ways) was basic but we made it work. It often has large groups, some of which are school kids and they will likely keep you awake. If we’d realised this we might have spent a bit more money at the private lodge down the road. This is a developing part of the world, sometimes things don’t go according to plan but having a reliable tour company on side will seriously help make your trip special.
