Itinerary
Immerse yourself in Ghana's captivating past with a visit to Cape Coast Castle. Start your journey at the Cape Coast Castle—a poignant symbol of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. This historic site, originally built in 1555 as a Portuguese trading post named Cabo Corso and later developed by the Swedish in 1653, played a notable role in the trade of timber and gold before becoming a major hub in the slave trade.
Journey into the heart of Ghana's natural wonder at Kakum National Park. Embark on a short walking tour through the lush forest floor, where you'll uncover the secrets of how ancient communities thrived in this verdant paradise. Keep an eye out for vibrant birds, delicate butterflies, and with a bit of luck, you might spot some of the park's 40 mammal species, including playful monkeys and the elusive forest elephant
Begin your journey with a visit to the Elmina Castle, also known as St. George's Castle. Built by the Portuguese in 1482, this was the first European structure in Sub-Saharan Africa and played a significant role in the region's history. Discover the castle's grounds and rooms, steeped in centuries-old stories and haunting remnants of the past.

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.
