Itinerary
Cedi Bead Factory. Guests would get to learn the history behind the use of Ghanaian beads, how to make them and also check out already made beads displayed for purchase at the Cedi Beads Factory. These beads are handmade from recycled glasses, crushed and melted in ovens, polished and uniquely designed for occasions like puberty rites, marriages, naming ceremonies for individuals and royals. The beads are currently displayed locally and in some international museums like the Newark Museum, Dabls Mbad African Museum, and Picard Trade Bead Museum in the United States.
There will be a boat ride on Lake Volta where guests will get to see the highlands and beautiful islands surrounding Lake Volta. The Volta Lake is the largest man-made lake in Ghana and one of the largest in the world.

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.
