Itinerary
Early morning departure from Accra to the Central Region of Ghana. We will make our first stop at Assin Assin Manso, the burial site of two former slaves from the USA and Jamaica whose remains were re-interred in August 1998 during Ghana’s first Emancipation Day Celebration. A visit to “the Slave River” or “Donkor Nsuo” offers the chance to see the place where captured Africans were washed before being confined in the Slave Castles to await shipment to the Americas and the Caribbean. It is a place where they had their ''Last bath”
Cape Coast Castle, one of the slave castles on Ghana's shores, also served as the administrative center for British rule in West Africa. Participants will tour the museum and dungeons where slaves were held before being shipped to the New life
We will visit Elmina Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Portuguese in 1482. As the first trading post on the Gulf of Guinea, it is the oldest European structure south of the Sahara. During the tour, participants will hear detailed accounts of the infamous slave trade.

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.
