    Very varied, reliable organization, always solution-oriented (big thanks to Nesi!), surprisingly good accommodation, great transport (Toyota Land Cruiser), impressive landscapes, friendly people, great group. I will probably become a regular Penguin customer!

    To begin with the visa issues, I got the details for it too late to get my visa on time. But Penguin sorted it out so I could have a visa on arrival, it was a bit of a stress around all that. But when all that was sorted out the trip was great, the local guides and crew was perfect. Sometimes some things felt a bit rushed. Maybe it would have ben better if the whole trip was a bit longer so there was some time to relax between the long drives. But in all a good trip and I will probably go with penguin again

    If I book the Ghana, Togo & Benin first, do I get a discount for the second tour?

    Payments
    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      Unfortunately, we do not offer discount for repeat customers through the TourRadar platform.

      If I book direct, do you offer second tour discount? If so, how much would that be for the Ivory Coast Tour?

      I was going to book the Ghana tour direct on your website. I got error messages every time I submit the booking form. Then I emailed on several occasions since 29 May. I got a reply saying the company is operating on limited staff and I will be contacted ASAP. So far no one contacted me. That is why I decided to book on TourRadar. They have a 24 hour customer service & you don't. Please let me know how to book direct when I get the error message for the submitted booking form?

    Asked on April 15th, 2025

    I'm interested in your tour to the Ivory Coast. When checking the visa requirements for my home country Germany I see a document called 'ATTESTATION D'HEBERGEMENT' which apparently has to be filled out by a city hall representative. Is that correct and will you take care of this document?

    Visa
    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      You are eligible to get e-visa for Ivory Coast. Once your booking is confirmed, we provide the required documents. For the online application, you usually need to upload only a passport, flight ticket and letter of invitation or proof of accommodation. In our experience, we have not had issues with e-visa approval before.

      Just for my understanding the letter of invitation or proof of accomodation would be provided by your company?

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      Yes
