Itinerary
You will be picked up from your lodging/airport for a trip through the picturesque and mountainous Akwapim ridge. On arrival, we visit to the Tetteh Quarshie Farm, the birthplace of cocoa in Ghana. This experimental farm from 1878 was the main force behind Ghana becoming the number one producer of Cocoa from 1910 to 1980. Continue to the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) for a guided tour through the range of laboratories and experimental cocoa farms. Here, we will learn about the wonderful stuff made from cocoa. Return to Accra after lunch at a local restaurant. * This tour takes place from Mondays to Fridays only

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.
