The Wanderlust Ghana team, accompanied by a delegation of Ghanaians led by G10 companies, embarked on a thrilling tour of Dubai’s Red Sand Desert on October 9, 2024.
Renowned for their bold expeditions, the team proudly brought their Ghana-registered Tacoma vehicle, aiming to promote Ghanaian culture and tourism throughout their adventure.
However, the Tacoma ran into an unexpected challenge when it got stuck in the desert, and one of its tires was damaged by the rough terrain.
Speaking to blogger and journalist Andre Mustapha, also known as Attractive Mustapha, who is travelling with the Wanderlust Ghana crew, the team downplayed the incident, calling it a “minor problem.”
They explained that such hurdles are part of their larger mission to traverse 33 countries while showcasing Ghana’s resilience and rich cultural heritage.
Although the desert is typically crossed with Land Cruisers due to their reliability in extreme conditions, Wanderlust Ghana chose to use their own vehicles, symbolising the Ghanaian spirit of determination. After the mishap, the team continued their journey in a Land Cruiser, leaving the Tacoma temporarily behind in the desert.
This desert adventure followed an all-white yacht party hosted by Wanderlust Ghana and G10 Travel Companies at Dubai Harbour on October 8, 2024.
The event brought together Ghanaians from around the world, celebrating Ghanaian culture and promoting tourism.
The yacht party is one of the many highlights of Wanderlust Ghana’s 30,000-kilometre expedition across 33 countries, aimed at encouraging Ghanaians globally to explore the world while shining a light on the beauty of their homeland.
Next on Wanderlust Ghana’s journey is a major stop in South Africa, where they will collaborate with the Ghana Tourism Authority to launch the “December in GH” initiative, aimed at fostering tourism and cultural exchange.
Despite the challenges encountered, Wanderlust Ghana continues to embody the adventurous spirit of Ghana, pushing boundaries in their quest to connect Ghanaians and elevate the country’s image on the world stage.
