Begin your Ghana adventure in Accra with a guided tour of Independence Square, the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, and the bustling Makola Market. Travel south to the Central Region for guided walks through the UNESCO-listed Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, both powerful reminders of the transatlantic slave trade. On day three, venture into Kakum National Park for the famous canopy walk — suspension bridges 40 metres above the rainforest floor. Your guide points out birds, butterflies, and monkeys as you walk through the treetops. Spend the afternoon at the Elmina fishing harbour, watching fishermen hauling in their catch. Day four takes you to the Assin Manso Slave River site, where enslaved Africans took their last bath before the Atlantic crossing. Reflect at the memorial and museum before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant. On your final day, explore Cape Coast's coastal communities and beaches before the return drive to Accra. This tour offers a deeper dive into Ghana's coast, history, and natural beauty than the shorter highlights tour.
A carefully planned day — every stop, guide, and entry ticket handled for you.
