✈️ Why Camille Chose Greether in Accra

For Camille, the decision to book a Greeter came down to safety, trust, and cultural connection.

“When my friend told me about Greether, I knew I'd try it out for my next trip. That just so happened to be Accra. This was my first time in Ghana and in all of Africa, so I wanted a local I could trust to show me around. Plus, as a solo traveler it's important for my safety to get the perspective of women.”

🗺️ Getting Oriented, the Greether Way

Imagine arriving in a brand-new country and feeling like you already know someone there. That’s what Greether is all about.

“Using Greether so early in my trip (my first full day there!) really boosted my confidence in navigating the city. I got great tips from my Greeter; it was like being introduced to Accra by a family friend.”

💡 Local Flexibility = Real Travel Magic

“My Greeter was flexible and had great suggestions. We'd previously planned to go to the market for my second stop, but when I didn't feel up to it she came up with a great replacement destination. She also made a grocery store stop with me so I could get water and other essentials for my apartment.”

That’s the magic of a Greether experience: it’s a local woman who understands your needs and tailors the experience accordingly.

🌍 Why Book a Greeter in Accra?

“Coming across women tour guides hasn't been common in my solo travels. Greether connected me with a wonderful tour guide, Sharon. She had a wealth of knowledge, spoke many of the local languages, and was such a fun person to explore with. I'm sure other solo women travelers can relate to the onslaught of men offering to show you around and having to be super cautious. With Greether I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.”

💬 Pro Tip from Camille:

“Try to schedule your Greeter as early in your trip as possible—it'll make your transition to a new country much smoother!”
