Itinerary
Take a walk across this famous Canopy Walkway at Kakum National Park, home of 266 bird species, and various wildlife.
Elmina Castle was the first – and for many centuries – the largest, European building constructed in tropical Africa. Yet its grandeur, as well as its picturesque surroundings with blue skies, sandy beaches, and tropical palms, disguise a very dark history – Elmina Castle was the last place that thousands of African slaves would ever see of their homeland before being shipped to be enslaved in various parts of the world. This tour is emotional and expertly coordinated by experienced tour guides who will answer all your questions and give insight into the history of the transatlantic slave trade.
Travel to Cape Coast Castle
Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park was one of the largest slave markets during the infamous trans-Atlantic slave trade. It is especially worth seeing as a prelude to viewing Cape Coast slave castle since you will be following the route taken by the ancestors of many African Americans. This was the place of the “last bath” before slaves were taken to the castles to be shipped off.

About Accra
Accra, Ghana's capital on the Gulf of Guinea, mixes colonial forts, independence monuments, busy markets, beach bars and a famed music scene.
Accra lines the Atlantic coast, and its older districts keep the character of a trading port. In Jamestown, an old fishing quarter, a lighthouse stands beside Dutch and British forts, and boxing gyms spill onto the lanes. Black Star Square, with its Independence Arch, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honour Ghana's first president and independence in 1957, while the W. E. B. Du Bois Centre remembers the writer who spent his final years here.
Top-ranked sights in Accra: Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park, W. E. B. Du Bois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture, Makola Market.
